How much do you know about cappuccino?

All of us at least once tasted milk coffee with a delicate foam on top. Cappuccino is made in every modern coffee house; this drink receives love all over the world.

Despite its worldwide popularity, not many people know what a cappuccino is. But its concept is much deeper than a simple "coffee with milk".

But we all love it when complex things are expressed simply. Therefore the Mr. Viet team decided to do something interesting: to show the ability to cook cappuccino at home without much effort. Mr. Viet 4in1 - fast and delicious!

So what are we talking about? What is a cappuccino? Let's learn different approaches!

Cappuccino is a classic combination of espresso and milk. While making this drink it is extremely important to observe the proportions: one third of the drink is espresso, the other third is milk and the last third is a delicate milk foam.

This proportional principle was formed by James Hoffman, an English author and barista, in his book "The World of Coffee". Hoffman stated that he gave such a definition of a coffee drink for the first time in the 1950s, although the cappuccino itself appeared much earlier.

According to the book by James Hoffman, the cappuccino was known in the 1800s, it was prepared in Vienna. However, I suggest that you draw your attention to a more revealing history of cappuccino in Italy, which had a great influence on this drink.

The first news of cappuccino in Italy appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Rich in coffee traditions, Italy created its own vision of cappuccino and complemented the world view of it.

The National Institute of Italian Espresso has formulated the following definition:

"25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk.. Certified Italian cappuccino has a white color and a dark brown border. The foam is thick, with a minimum number of bubbles."

This is the main difference in the making cappuccino according to the Western recipe and the Italian model. Italian cappuccino is traditionally more tender and milky, while Western cappuccino has a more coffee and tart taste.

In the majority of coffee houses in the world, cappuccino is made in Western-style, but it was the Italians who discovered the vision of this drink as exclusively milky and tender.
