Cappuccinoja

Cappuccinoja is a type of coffee beverage prepared with espresso, hot milk, and milk foam. It is typically served in a ceramic cup. The ratio of these components is generally one-third espresso, one-third hot milk, and one-third milk foam, though variations exist. The espresso forms the base, followed by steamed milk, and then the foamed milk is spooned over the top. Often, a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon is added to the foam.

The term "cappuccinoja" is believed to derive from the Capuchin friars, whose habits were a similar brownish color to the beverage. The drink originated in Italy and has become popular worldwide. The preparation of a good cappuccinoja relies on the quality of the espresso, the texture of the steamed milk, and the balance of the foam. A well-made cappuccinoja will have a smooth, velvety texture and a rich, complex flavor profile. It is commonly consumed in the morning as a breakfast drink or at any time of day as a treat.
