Capuchino?

Cappuccino is a popular coffee beverage made with espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. It is typically served in a small cup and is known for its rich and creamy texture, making it a favorite for coffee lovers.

Origins & History

The cappuccino originated in Italy and has roots dating back to the 17th century, evolving into its modern form in the 1930s. The name 'cappuccino' is derived from the Capuchin friars, whose brown robes are said to resemble the color of the beverage’s foam once mixed with espresso.

Cappuccino offers a balance of strong coffee flavor from espresso along with creamy and sweet notes from the steamed milk and foam, often with hints of chocolate or nutty flavors depending on the coffee beans used.
