Cappuccino · kap-oo-CHEE-noh

A traditional Italian cappuccino is a 5–6 oz drink built on a one-third / one-third / one-third split: espresso, steamed milk, and a deep foam cap. American interpretations are often larger and wetter, but Brooklyn specialty bars usually default to the smaller, foam-forward Italian style. It is meant as a morning drink — Italians traditionally do not order it after 11 a.m. — and its foam cap makes it a different texture experience from a flat white or latte.
