Cappuccino is a very popular type of coffee and a classic item that is a must-have in coffee shops. Cappuccino is an Italian coffee that is mixed with equal amounts of Italian espresso and steamed milk foam. The sweetness of the milk foam and the rich aroma of coffee beans make people linger over a cup of cappuccino. So, do you know the origin of cappuccino? And how to taste it?

The History of Cappuccino

The Viennese Fanz George Kolschitsky is the founder of Cafe Latte, which is made of milk and coffee. Cafe Latte and cappuccino are both derived from coffee and milk, but the origin of cappuccino is more learned and has always been the best subject for studying the evolution of words in Europe and the United States. The history of the word Cappuccino: The monks of the Capuchin Church, which was founded after 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the Capuchin Church spread to Italy, the locals thought that the monks' clothing was very special, so they named them Cappuccino. The Italian word refers to the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks, which comes from the Italian word "turban", which is Cappuccio. However, the old Italians love to drink coffee and found that the color of espresso, milk and milk foam mixed is like the dark brown robes worn by monks, so they suddenly had an idea and named the drink with milk, coffee and pointed milk foam Cappuccino.

Cappuccino has an irresistible charm

At first, it smells very fragrant. When you take the first sip, you can feel the sweetness and softness of the large amount of milk foam. The second sip can really taste the original bitterness and richness of the coffee beans. Finally, when the taste stays in your mouth, you will feel that it has a more mellow and meaningful taste. A kind of coffee can have many different unique flavors. Isn’t it amazing? The first sip always makes people feel bitter with sourness. The large amount of foam is like the frivolous life of young people, and the bursting of the foam and the little bit of bitterness are like the conflict between dreams and reality. Finally, after tasting the joys and sorrows of life, the mellow sweetness of life makes people intoxicated.

Many people have heard of the sayings of drinking cappuccino dry or wet. Dry cappuccino refers to a method of preparing cappuccino with more milk foam and less milk. The coffee tastes stronger than the milk flavor, which is suitable for people with strong taste. As for wet cappuccino, it refers to a method of preparing cappuccino with less milk foam and more milk. The milk flavor covers the strong coffee flavor, which is suitable for people with light taste. The flavor of wet cappuccino is similar to the popular latte. Generally speaking, the taste of cappuccino is stronger than that of latte. If you have a strong taste, you may order cappuccino or dry cappuccino. If you are not used to the strong coffee flavor, you can order latte or wet cappuccino.

In addition, cappuccino has its own way of tasting. First, don't touch anything, just take a sip and savor the unique and delicate sweetness and softness of the milk foam. Then use a coffee spoon to stir the coffee, milk foam and milk together (it's up to your personal taste whether to add sugar, it's recommended not to add sugar). Then taste it slowly. It tastes slightly bitter, but with a sweet and mellow aftertaste. It's worth noting that you must not let the cappuccino cool down, otherwise your stomach will not be able to bear it.
