Then the reception was taken over by local baristas. This is how a new drink appeared, which eventually gained immense popularity.

The name goes back to the Italian monastic order of the Capuchins, who loved coffee with milk. For the similarity of their robes - a brown robe with a high hood - with a milk cap of coffee, the drink soon became known as cappuccino.

The cup contains espresso, hot milk and milk foam in equal proportions, and the main art is to keep the border between coffee and whipped milk. Cappuccino is served at 55 degrees in a warm cup, often topped with cinnamon. Initially, there was 90 ml in one cup, but now the 150-180 ml serving is more common.

Cappuccino can be made with skim milk, soy milk, or non-fat cream, which also affects the calorie content. And the main beauty of this type of coffee is the skill of the baristas who paint various patterns on the milk foam.
