The history of the word Cappuccino is enough to show that a word often looks like something and is finally extended to other meanings, far exceeding the original intention of the creator. It sounds quite complicated, please see the following analysis.
The monks of Capuchin Church, which was founded after 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When Capuchin Church was introduced to Italy, the local people thought that the monks' costumes were very special, so they were given the name Cappuccino, which in Italian refers to the loose robes and pointed hats worn by monks and comes from the Italian "headscarf", that is, Cappuccio.
However, Laoyi loved coffee, and found that the color of espresso, milk and milk foam was like the dark brown cassock worn by monks, so he had a brainwave and added coffee to milk with sharp milk foam, named it Cappuccino. The word was first used in English in 1948, when a report in San Francisco first introduced cappuccino, and it didn't become a well-known coffee drink until after 1990. It should be said that the word Cappuccino comes from Capuchin and Cappucio. I believe that the original word maker of Cappuccino never dreamed that the monk's cassock would eventually become a name of coffee and drink.
Cappuccino is also related to a monkey name.
The fun is not over yet. There is a little monkey in Africa, which has a pinch of black cone-shaped hair on its head, much like the small pointed hat on the cassock of St. Fangji church. Therefore, this little monkey was named Capuchin, which was first used by the British in 1785. Capuchin, the name of coffee, drink and monkey, came into being a hundred years later, which has always been an anecdote that scholars talk about.
Dry cappuccino and wet cappuccino
Did you know that cappuccino can be drunk dry or wet? The so-called Dry Cappuccino refers to a conditioning method with more milk bubbles and less milk. Coffee tastes stronger than milk and is suitable for people with heavy tastes. When it comes to Wet Cappuccino, it refers to the practice of less milk bubbles and more milk. The milk fragrance overwhelms the strong coffee flavor and is suitable for those with light taste. The flavor of wet cappuccino is similar to the popular latte. Generally speaking, the taste of cappuccino is heavier than latte. If you have a heavy taste, you may order cappuccino or dry cappuccino. If you are not used to the strong coffee flavor, you may order latte or wet cappuccino.
