When the cappuccino drink was first introduced in Italy, it was named after the Capuchin friars because the color of the espresso mixed with frothed milk was like the color of the Capuchin habit. The drink was first made in the early 1900s after the popularization of espresso machines and after Italians improved a good espresso and a balance of steamed and frothed milk. Is it your habit?
