Originating in Italy, the name Cappuccino comes from the colour of the drink which resembles that of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks. The term was also an italian word for 'hood'. Although nowadays many ways this worldwide popular beverage is crafted in so many different ways and flavours, for instance by sprinkling cinnamon or chocolate on top, steamed milk and Espresso are the two key ingredients required for creating a delightful Cappuccino. It is important to note that the higher the quality of these ingredients, the superior the end result. Milk, in particular, plays a significant role in the overall experience. The finest ingredients necessitate the application of appropriate techniques that allow them to complement each other perfectly. While a Latte macchiato is more steamed milk with a shot of espresso poured in.
