Cappuccino (Italian: Cappuccino, also translated "doubly strong") means Italian foam coffee. In the early 20th century, the Italians developed cappuccino coffee. On the espresso, pour in the milk foamed with steam. The color of the coffee is like a St. Franciscan monk covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf, hence the name cappuccino caffeine.

Founded after 1525, the monks of the order of St. Franciscans wore brown robes and pointed hats. When they spread to Italy, the locals named their clothes "Cappuccino" because the headscarves of St. Franciscans are like Capuchin, an African capuchin monkey. The Italian word comes from the headscarf (Cappuccio), which refers to loose robes and small pointed hats.

The difference between cappuccino and latte is that there are too many bubbles. The recipe is espresso (Espresso), fresh milk and foam at 1:1:1. First, pour in espresso, then sprinkle with hot milk, and then sprinkle with a little cinnamon, cocoa, or orange and lemon peel to decorate or add flavor.

Cappuccino used to be Austrian coffee?

In 1683, the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire besieged Zweite Wiener T for two months, known as the "second siege of Vienna" (Vienna ü rkenbelagerung). Finally, with the help of Polish coalition forces, the Habsburg dynasty repelled the invading enemy and put an end to the Ottoman empire's fantasy of European expansion. Legend has it that on the day of the rescue, people found a lot of bags full of coffee beans. As a result, the drink of coffee took root in Vienna, and the first cafe in Vienna was born. Of course, this is a historical legend. The fact is that in the second half of the 17th century, an industrious Greek businessman opened the first coffee shop in Vienna.

German coffee shop culture should come from France, because the word Caf é used in German comes from French. But in Austria, people use the pure German word Kaffeehaus, because Austria, especially Vienna, has a coffee culture not inferior to that of France, and there is no need to use loanwords at all. The cafe culture of Vienna and the cafe culture of the Latin district of Paris are called the two major cafe cultures in Europe. Some people say that half of Vienna's brilliant cultural achievements are due to its coffee aroma. Although there is an element of exaggeration in this phrase, countless singers, composers, painters, actors, dramatists and writers are inspired by the "bitter and sweet" melody of coffee and cake.

For Viennese, cafes are an integral part of their lives. If you want to hear a beautiful waltz, you have to go to a cafe! If you need a home atmosphere, but don't want to stay at home, you should go to a cafe! If 12:00 midnight, you are alone, but you still want to go for a walk, see the people of Vienna, then you want to go to the cafe! If you want to try the ice cream that once made Princess Cissy so happy, you should go to the cafe! If you want to feel how Viennese literature came into being, you have to go to a cafe! If you like reading newspapers and don't want to pay for it, you must go to a cafe!

In every Viennese cafe, you will come across a kind of coffee called Kapuziner. This is a special kind of coffee in Vienna. it needs a small black mocha and then paired with whipped whipped cream (Schlagobers) so that the coffee can turn dark brown. On individual occasions, you can add a cream hat or sprinkle some cocoa powder. The color of the coffee reminds the owners of the Viennese cafe who made it of the Franciscan friars. The friar usually wears a dark brown hood. At the same time, the white cream also reminds people of the white belt worn around the waist of the Gabrian monks. So people call it Kapuziner, which means the friar of the Franciscan order.

During the reign of Princess Sisi's husband, Franz Joseph I, Venice and Lombardy in northern Italy were dependent on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There are many Austrian soldiers stationed there, and legend has it that they brought the cappuccino to the area. But others say it was brought back to Italy by Italian travelers from Vienna. In any case, people in Italy immediately fell in love with this coffee, because the Italian word for "Franciscan Friar" is "cappuccini", so this coffee is called "Cappuccino", which is today's famous cappuccino.

According to experts in the cultural history of coffee, in hot Italy, thin whipped cream is not easy to preserve, so locals directly use milk to mix the color of coffee, while abandoning heavy cream hats and adding foamy milk. In addition, the coffee itself has abandoned the traditional mocha and used espresso, which is more Italian. With the passage of time, the difference between the two is getting bigger and bigger. The latter has become a popular native coffee among Italians and is popular all over the world. Italians like to start the day with a cappuccino in the morning, using cups with thick walls to keep the coffee as hot as possible. It is said that when drinking cappuccino, the hotter the better.

On the other hand, the cappuccino in Vienna has been preserved as a local feature of Vienna, but it has been fully squeezed by its successor cappuccino, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller, so that many young Austrians only know cappuccino. It is a pity that they do not know cappuccino.
