Cappuccino: The Frothy Icon

History and Origins

Named after the Capuchin friars' hooded robes due to its color, the cappuccino originated in Italy in the early 1900s with the invention of espresso machines. It became a Viennese staple before going global post-WWII, symbolizing Italian café culture.

Taste and Texture

Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and thick foam create a light, airy texture. The taste is bold yet balanced, with chocolatey or cinnamon sprinkles adding a sweet, nutty dimension.

Type of Drinker

Suited for social sippers who enjoy the ritual of stirring foam morning people or those who like a bit of indulgence without full creaminess.

Caffeine Rating

6/10 – Solid kick from the double espresso, tempered by milk and foam.
