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.

      Yeah me too, they were a good one. Felt left out because of all the stonk discussion/lack of focus on the problems of the actually impoverished like themselves. If we're not a forum for people like SorosFootSoldier, I don't know what we are anymore tbh. Hope we can stop the bleeding.

          It is possible to simultaneously give a fuck about the poor and think that the stock market getting memed into line-go-down is funny and merits discussion
