The Origin of Cappuccino

Fanz George Kolschitsky, a Viennese, is the founder of Cafe Latte with Milk and Coffee. Let's talk about the origin of Cappuccino. Both drinks are made from coffee and milk, but cappuccino has a more knowledgeable origin and has always been the best material for the study of character changes in Europe and the United States.

The history of the word Cappuccino is enough to show that a word is often extended to other meanings because it looks like something, far beyond the original intention of the creator. It sounds complicated. Take a look at the following analysis.

The monks of the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin), founded after 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the St. Franciscan Church spread to Italy, the locals thought that 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, Lao 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.
