Difference in taste characteristics between cappuccino and latte cappuccino with authentic golden circle

Yesterday, in the communication with friends, the daily chat was crooked. After the usual hissing and asking about warmth, the word "cappuccino" was inserted, and then the building was crooked.

If it comes down to personal privacy, I won't let it go, but this has given rise to the idea that Qianjie wants to talk about this topic. What is an authentic cappuccino? Who cares if it's an authentic cappuccino? What should be the characteristics of a cappuccino? A few days ago, a coffee up owner said a classic line in a store visit video: "which country is this cappuccino?" This point was overshadowed by another point of view of the video at that time that aroused "enthusiastic communication". Qianjie is not to argue between black and white. I simply think this topic is particularly interesting to think about. As we all know, modern espresso originated in Italy, and cappuccino can be regarded as a special Italian coffee drink, so it should be the most authentic to refer to Italian cappuccino. Qianjie did not communicate directly with Italian baristas and had to rely on the developed Internet to find the truth about cappuccino. The emergence of cappuccino did not pop up in a short time, but there was a relatively long period of evolution. Before cappuccino appeared, there was a habit of drinking coffee with milk. In 1905, the real espresso machine was born, and cappuccino was not recorded in writing until the 1930s.

Legend has it that the name comes from the white foam on the surface of the cappuccino with a circle of brown and greasy foam around it, much like the Franciscan monks looking down (the Franciscan monks are dressed in light brown robes and white towel hats), and the cappuccino "Cappuccino" name evolved from the "Capuchin".

It was not until 1947 that a coffee machine capable of pressing out a "Crema" appeared, so what we think of as an authentic Italian cappuccino took shape after this moment. According to the definition of cappuccino on the Internet, the cappuccino is a small cup of coffee composed of espresso, milk and milk bubbles (according to a concentrated 30ml, the capacity of cappuccino is about 120-180ml). The foam is dense and delicate, preferably 11 points full, with a standard appearance "golden circle". Usually Italians only drink cappuccino in the morning. And like to sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder on it.

However, today's Italian cafes are not guaranteed to meet such standards, because people's eating habits will change and technology will develop. For example, people dared not even think of roasting coffee beans in the past. When the specialty of any place enters a new place, it will blend with the local culture to form "new things" with certain local characteristics (although the original name is still used). Such as the cultural collision of Italian coffee after it entered Australia, resulting in the "Australian Italian coffee culture". As a friend said at the beginning, "have a hot cappuccino" means to use its capsule coffee machine to press coffee, pour foamy milk, and enjoy the "coffee sweetness" brought by the blend of milk and coffee. the dense and steaming taste of milk bubbles. Qianjie believes that with regard to the ancient Italian authentic cappuccino practice, Qianjie believes that it would be more appropriate to use the words "traditional" and "classic". Now the world benefits from the network connection so that the exchange of information has become closer. What is more obvious about the change of cappuccino in various places is that the overall thinning of milk bubbles should be the prevalence of flower culture, and a good-looking pattern is the most intuitive expression of barista's show skills. When the cup size range becomes larger, some outbound coffee shops generally use larger cups (240,240-360ml), while some boutique coffee shops tend to use smaller cups (180-240ml).

Coffee shop is considered to be a place to make coffee professionally. In terms of abandoning the appearance, the characteristics of cappuccino still need to be shown. Qianjie believes that cappuccino is characterized by small cups, strong coffee flavor, thick milk bubbles and thick taste. Now, coffee bean quality, baking theory, extraction theory, coffee machine than before, please climb a higher floor, cappuccino this drink changes with the trend, is also a positive choice. However, when the coffee shop changes the cappuccino, please be careful not to cover up the characteristics. If the thickness of the foam is indistinguishable from the gender of the latte and the taste is comparable to the latte, then … Isn't it a small latte?
