The cappuccino’s name is older than the machine that made it famous. It comes from the Capuchin monks, whose brown robes matched the warm, tan color of coffee mixed with milk. In 18th-century Vienna, a drink called Kapuziner—coffee with cream, sugar, and sometimes foam—helped inspire what would later become the Italian cappuccino.
