☕️ 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” 😊
