8th November: Cappuccino Day

National Cappuccino Day on November 8th whips up a frothy, hot cup of cappuccino. It’s a perfect drink on a frosty morning, meeting with friends or just to enjoy a creamy cuppa.

Traditionally prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam, a cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink.

Italy is famous for the variety of coffees it produces. Cappuccinos are loved among coffee lovers and despite their vague history, many people still appreciate the comfort they bring. Thus, comes a happy day called Cappuccino Day

The word cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars and is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning hood or something that covers the head. This popular coffee beverage got its name not from the hood on their habits but from the color of the hooded robes that the friars wore.
