Espresso coffee is an Italian invention, which was first introduced by the idea of offering to the consumer a coffee expressly prepared when requested -  this is the origin of the definition of caffè espresso.

Nowadays, ‘caffè espresso’ is one of the main symbols of what is knowns as Made in Italy worldwide.

There are no historical facts behind the invention of cappuccino, therefore it is quite possible that a barista at some stage had the idea to use caffè espresso and added milk and frothed it to create the hot drink, referred to as Cappuccino. This is another proud representative of made in Italy products, which is so closely connected to espresso coffee.

Cappuccino was first created to add a hot drink containing caffè espresso to the typical Italian breakfast, i.e. something to be drunk while enjoying a small pastry or a croissant. Nevertheless, it later became a very popular drink in Northern Europe.

Cappuccino is very much loved by consumers living in Northern Europe and in all those countries, in which filter or percolated coffee is appreciated.
