Cappuccinos first popped up as the 'Kapuziner' in Viennese coffee houses in the 1700s. A description of the 'Kapuziner' from 1805 described it as "coffee with cream and sugar," and a description of the drink from 1850 adds "spices" to the recipe.

Either way, these drinks had a brown color similar to the robes worn by the Capuchin ('Kapuzin') friars in Vienna, and this is where their name came from.

Although the name 'Kapuziner' was used in Vienna, the actual cappuccino was invented in Italy, and the name was adapted to become 'Cappuccino.'

It was first made in the early 1900a, shortly after the popularization of the espresso machine in 1901. The first record of the cappuccino we have found was in the 1930s.

'Cappuccini' (as they are known in Italy) gradually became popular in cafes and restaurants across the country.

After World War II, the cappuccino making went through some improvements and simplifications in Italy. This was largely thanks to better and more widely available espresso machines.

These improvements and the post-WWII affluence across parts of Europe set the stage for cappuccino's eventual worldwide popularity.

    Apologies for using the megathread as a diary. I just need to say words into the void.

    Part of me wants to own the fact that I am trans. I'm not out to many people either (I told my girlfriend and a trans friend of mine), but part of me wants to crawl back into my egg and stay there.

    I'm scared that I have too much to lose by actually doing anything about it (and it's further complicated by the fact that I still want children in the future). I just don't know what to do right now, but I'm 25 and worried that if I wait too long before I figure it out, it'll be too late.
