The cappuccino's origins can be traced back to the Viennese 'Kapuziner' coffee in the 18th century, which featured coffee with cream and sugar. The modern cappuccino evolved in Italy in the early 20th century, coinciding with the invention and popularization of the espresso machine. The name likely derives from the resemblance of the coffee's color to the robes of Capuchin monks.

The cappuccino offers a balanced blend of rich espresso, creamy steamed milk, and airy foamed milk, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
The intense, slightly bitter flavor of espresso forms the base. Steamed milk adds a creamy sweetness, softening the espresso's intensity. The foamed milk provides a light, airy texture and a subtle milk flavor, further complementing the espresso. The overall flavor is a pleasant balance of coffee bitterness and milky sweetness.

Espresso Quality
Use high-quality, freshly ground espresso beans for the best flavor. Proper espresso extraction is crucial for a balanced cappuccino.
Milk Steaming Technique
Steam the milk to create a velvety texture and consistent microfoam. Avoid overheating the milk, as this can scald it and affect the flavor.
Milk-to-Coffee Ratio
The classic cappuccino ratio is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 foamed milk. Adjust the ratio to your personal preference.
Foam Quality
The foam should be fine and consistent, with no large bubbles. The foam should hold its shape briefly when spooned.
