The origin of cappuccino

Cappuccino has a very learned origin and has always been the best material for the study of character changes in Europe and the United States.

The Origin of Cappuccino

The history of the word Cappuccino: the monks of the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin), founded five years later in 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the St. Franciscan Church spread to Italy, the locals thought the monks' clothes were very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino. The Italian word refers to the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks, derived from the Italian word "headscarf" or Cappuccio.

However, Old Yi loved coffee and found that when espresso, milk and milk foam were mixed, the color was like the dark brown robe worn by monks, so he came up with a drink with coffee and sharp milk bubbles, which was named Cappuccino. The word was first used in English in 1948, when a report in San Francisco first introduced cappuccino beverages, and it was not until 1990 that it became a familiar coffee drink.

It should be possible to say that the word Cappuccino coffee comes from the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin) and the Italian headscarf (Cappucio). It is believed that the original word makers of Cappuccino never dreamed that the monks' robes would eventually become the name of a coffee drink.

Cappuccino is also associated with a monkey name: there is a small monkey in Africa with a black cone-shaped hair on its head, much like a pointed hat on a St. Franciscan robe, hence the name Capuchin, which was first used by the British in 1785. The word Capuchin has generated coffee drink names and monkey names hundreds of years later, which has always been an interesting story for literati.
