Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes) said: “as long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?” That's how I feel about cappuccino... "as long as there was cappuccino in the world, how bad could things be?"
Have you ever wondered how cappuccino came to be? Typically regarded as myth, it's said that a 17th century Capuchin monk, Marco d'Aviano, invented cappuccino after the Battle of Vienna in 1683, and that it was named after the color of capuchin robes which are similar in color to an espresso mixed with milk. No one actually knows whether this is true. But did you know that it was actually in German that "Kapuziner" was first applied to coffee? Cappuccino was more widely introduced when the espresso coffee machine was invented in Italy, with the first patent being filed by Luigi Bezzera in 1901. After World War II espresso machines were simplified, making them more available for cafes and restaurants. It wasn’t until the late 1940s, actually, that the word “cappuccino” made its way into common usage.
Today, cappuccino is still the preferred breakfast beverage in Italy, where cappuccino is generally consumed early in the day as part of breakfast. Generally, Italians do not drink cappuccino with meals other than breakfast.
