What is the most important feature of cappuccino coffee?

Not all Italians can stand the strength of Espresso, so many people replace Espresso with cappuccino at breakfast. But remember, cappuccino is part of breakfast in Italian eyes and can only be used at breakfast time. If you still call cappuccino after 11:00 in the morning, you will certainly get a strange look from the public. I'm afraid you'll only reveal your identity. I don't know which part of your body has a big character written on you, saying, "I'm a tourist."

The second taboo about cappuccino is never to order a cappuccino after lunch or dinner. If you want to have a cup of coffee after dinner, you can only call Caffe espresso (also known as Espresso in Taiwan), otherwise you just embarrass the waiter who ordered for you and don't know how to refuse your unreasonable request.

The third rule is that you'd better drink cappuccino standing up. If you want to sit down and taste the coffee in your hand in the Bar, then the price of that cup of coffee is not trivial. It may be twice or triple what you drink standing up.

You can drink Caffe at any time of the day. You don't have to worry about having so many scruples like a cappuccino, but I think the best time to drink is after lunch and dinner, just to refresh yourself with that small cup of espresso. Oh! I almost forgot to remind you that Caffe can only be drunk alone after dinner, but don't eat steak and drink coffee as Americans do, which is also a foul, but you can eat croissants and drink cappuccinos in Bar. At this point, I can't help but admit that there are so many rules for this little Italian drink.

Before coming to Italy, I saw this reprinted article ↑ (blue part) on the Internet.

I asked Marco, can cappuccino be drunk only at 11:00 in the morning?

He asked, where did this funny statement come from?

Originally, I found the origin of this article.

Then the web page no longer exists.

Many friends who visit Italy will publish some self-righteous Italian materials when they go back. Sometimes I am very skeptical.

Some Taiwanese friends reprint their favorite articles everywhere, no matter how correct they are.

It is difficult to guarantee that my information is 100% accurate and detailed, but try my best to provide my own life experience.

Many Italians go to Bar for breakfast.

A cup of cappuccino and a praises of bread, this is the average person's breakfast.

Italian breakfast, only accept sweets.

In their stubborn ideas, it is unacceptable to eat salty breakfast.

My mother-in-law once asked me that breakfast in Taiwan was so salty that it was not a heavy burden on my body.

I want to ask myself, will you be full if you eat so little? How do you support it till noon?

This is purely because the food culture of each country is different and should respect each other.

It happens that Italians think that the right way to eat is that people in the world should eat the same way as they do.

Our bar, such a simple breakfast combination, is about 2.50 euros.

Having been in Italy for many years, I like to go to bar for coffee very much.

There is no rule on when to drink a cappuccino, and there is no reason to drink it before 11:00 in the morning.

It is true that some Italians insist that cappuccinos can only be drunk after breakfast.

But some people like to drink in the afternoon, at dusk, or even in the evening--

But drinking cappuccino after a meal is a very abrupt exaggeration in Italy, because there are so many milk bubbles that it is indigestible.

The Italian will have a Caff è (that is, Espresso) after a meal to help with digestion.

So don't order cappuccino after dinner, don't be afraid of seeing things differently, and the main points are fine. XDDD.

Usually Marco orders a Caff è Liscio, while I order Caff è Macchiato.

Caff è Liscio (Liscio originally means smooth, straight), which means Espresso but pure, without milk.

And Caff è Macchiato (Macchiato originally means stain), that is, Espresso with a little milk.

In summer, some people like to order Macchiato with cold milk latte fresco.

There is a picture and a truth. In the whole bar, I, as a foreigner, is sitting and drinking coffee.

As for coffee, you have to drink it standing up?

Um... It's a matter of personal habits.

Many Italians drink coffee as a habit, mostly to cheer up, not to chat.

A glass of condensed Caff è will be finished in half a mouthful, and they will just leave.

From walking into the bar, ordering coffee, taking a sip, and paying for it, it took less than five minutes for them to sit down and drink.

In addition, the bar of sightseeing cities or big cities is distinguished from the price of sitting food.

Usually two prices are marked in these bar.

Il prezzo al banco is the counter price, drink standing, al banco is at the counter.

Il prezzo al tavolo is the table price, sit and drink, al tavolo is at the table.

Of course, the price of sitting drinks will be more than twice that of standing ones.

Standing in the small city where I live is the same price as drinking coffee while sitting.

If I can sit and eat breakfast leisurely, I can't figure out why I have to eat standing up.

But Italians really like to drink that sip of espresso standing up.
