Talk:Cappuccino

Cappuccino and kaputziner

I think Austria should be removed, the sources make it clear cappuccino is a different kind of drink 79.54.217.132 (talk) 00:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

It's actually the same thing. Capuccino is a direct translation of the German word 2800:430:1384:A210:1B:F0FF:FEB5:3CB1 (talk) 00:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

No it's not. The beverage is very different 79.54.217.132 (talk) 00:53, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

The picture is of a latte

The picture is not a cappuccino it's a latte. If it has latte art and you can't see the texture of the foam it's not a cappuccino. I agree it is often what you get if you ask for one in the UK or US. 2A00:23EE:1480:3569:2E06:AFAB:323A:786 (talk) 13:38, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Agree, have edited to pictures of cappucinos, except for the section on "latte art" although I'm not sure why that is even in this wiki - it should be in Latte or flat white. 59.101.150.112 (talk) 02:20, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Unsure what to do about the section "Traditional and latte art" which is clearly describing making a café latte or flat white with the "latte art" method. This section shouldn't even be in this wiki. 59.101.150.112 (talk) 08:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Had some time to rewrite quite a lot of the article. Fixed this section in particular. I'm worried about this text:" Attaining the correct volume and thickness of foam requires close attention while steaming the milk, thus making the cappuccino one of the most difficult espresso-based beverages to make properly."

Firstly, [citation needed]! Secondly, I personally find doing the milk for making a latte or flat white with latte art is much harder - many other baristas I work with struggle with it. A cap is easy, just blow some air into the milk while heating and it makes the foam. 59.101.150.112 (talk) 10:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I have, a few minutes ago, changed the image (File:Cappuccino at Sightglass Coffee.jpg), much more beautiful. JacktheBrown (talk) 23:08, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

CONSENSUS FIRST (solved)

The Sapsby user has been writing for several weeks that the cappuccino was born in Austria. Almost all sources claim that the cappuccino originated in Italy; according to this source,, "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.", cappuccino originated in Italy. I don't know what to do anymore; I wrote to him to first reach a consensus on the discussion page, but he continues undaunted. I'm not the only one who advised him to discuss first on the discussion page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cappuccino&diff=prev&oldid=1223987338). I would also like to talk about Eduadoros; on the bagna càuda page there are many open discussions about the origin, but this user decided to add his information without first reaching a consensus on the discussion page.

Cappuccino comes from German Kapuziner. Remember that one part of Italy was under Austrian power in this time, it is clearly explained that the beverage called Kapuziner was introduced to Italy by Austrians and then the name was "italianized".

Kapuziner is exactly a cappuccino, you can read it here

Which point don't you agree with? Sapsby (talk) 13:13, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
