Description
Stylized image of a frothy cappuccino in a white coffee cup. The cup sits on a matching saucer, along with a silver spoon and wrapped candy. This delightfully presented beverage awaits consumption on a sophisticated table top of brown and blue swirls. This delicious cuppa was presented to me while visiting the charming town of Ascona, Switzerland.
Espresso machines gained popularity early in the 20th century, and people in Italy began to spend more time in coffee bars. It was then that the first drinks called cappuccinos appeared, served “Viennese style" or topped with whipped cream and shavings of chocolate.
The Italian word cappuccino is the name of the brown hood worn by Capuchin friars. When the beverage now known as cappuccino was first introduced in Italy, it was named after the Capuchins because the mix of coffee and milk was similar in color to the friar's hood.
Cappuccino is one of the few original espresso drinks that can be found across all major espresso cultures. The cappuccino began in Italian cafés and migrated to Italian-American menus before taking hold in American coffee houses. Today, the cappuccino remains a fixture in modern espresso culture.
