A Brief History Of Cappuccino

Today, November 8, is celebrated as the Day Cappuccino, but not many know the story behind the drink of coffee with milk and milk foam is started. Cappuccino become popular coffee drinks are many perched on the menu coffeehouses worldwide. In Italy alone cappuccino enjoyed at breakfast. The taste of coffee and milk is believed to be the stamina to face a long day. But not many know what a cappuccino was originally called "cappuccino". There is a history that represents the origin of
its name. And here will be explained briefly the history of this delicious drink.

In Italy alone, cappuccino means "little stamp". Which perfectly interpreted as delicious coffee cup filled with milk foam over it (foam) the bottom filled with espresso mixed with milk.

The term "little stamp" itself allegedly born and inspired clothing an iconic religious group. They are the Capuchin monk, better known by Capuchin Monks. The monks wearing brown robes and hoods with his head shaved bald. Maybe someday that is the inspiration of a cappuccino beverage. Capuchin for "cappuccino" and a bald head monks assessed similar to the surface of the milk foam cappuccino.

The story of why the Capuchin Monks dressed in brown robes and hoods, began as a branch of the Catholic religion called Catholic Franciscans. They were attacked by a group of their own in 1520. Then they were rescued and given shelter by the monks of the Benedictine Camaldolese. The Capuchin Monks shelter from the search group of official church in power at that time.

To honor and thank him for what he has done by Benedictine monks Camaldolese the Capuchin Monks finally wearing brown robes and hoods are also the robes and veils worn monk who had saved their lives.

Cappucino long before it gets its name turns out to have a story of struggle that is not known to many people. If you find a cup of cappuccino with milk foam perfectly covering the whole cup and its suburbs surrounded by a circle of brown coffee, cappuccino is the origin of the traditional form. That is the underlying reason cappuccino are also referred to as "abbot". Surely this is the case before the discovery of latte art. Because now cappuccino latte should not escape the latte art on the surface.
