☕️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? If you come to Italy, you’ll notice something funny: 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿. Here’s why 👇 🕗 𝟭. 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 (Il cappuccino si beve a colazione) For Italians, cappuccino belongs to the morning. The classic breakfast is: 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 + 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼. Hot milk is considered “too heavy” after a meal, so we avoid it later in the day. 🍝 𝟮. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿! (Dopo pranzo... meglio un caffè!) After lunch or dinner, most Italians drink a caffè 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼. It’s small, strong, and helps digestion. Much lighter than a cappuccino. 🥛 𝟯. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 (Il latte nel pomeriggio è pesante) Culturally, milk is seen as something for breakfast. Many Italians feel it’s too heavy for the afternoon or evening. So we choose espresso or "caffè macchiato" instead. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 — 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲! (Bevilo quando vuoi!) 😊 It’s not a rule. If you order a cappuccino at 4 PM, nobody will judge you. It’s just a cultural habit, not a “coffee law” 😊 💬 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂? (E tu?)
