Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the popularity of cappuccinos in America.
About the stamp designs: Pictures a digital illustration of a cappucino with its name included below the cup in art-deco-style font. Original artwork by Terry Allen.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Postmark was from Seattle, Washington, the birthplace and home base of Starbucks.
About the Espresso Drinks set: Includes four stamps picturing digital illustrations of a caffe latte, espresso, caffe mocha, and cappuccino. The names of each drink are included below the cups in arti-deco-style font. Original artwork by Terry Allen. These stamps were issued just in time for Starbucks’ 50th anniversary and celebrate America’s love of coffee.
History the stamp represents: Of all espresso drinks, perhaps the most famous is the cappuccino. In America, many of us remember the instant cappuccino (and hot chocolate) machines at ball games or in school cafeterias. However, the real deal is quite different and has an interesting history.
The cappuccino has existed for hundreds of years, though its name did not appear in the history books until the 20th century. Like many espresso drinks, it originated in Italy, where it was named after the Capuchin friars. In Italian, cappuccino means “little hood,” as the drink matched the color of the hoods (robes) the friars wore.
In comparison to other espresso drinks, the cappuccino is quite similar to the caffè latte. It does, however, have several key differences. The cappuccino is generally smaller, has more foam, and a higher ratio of espresso to steamed milk. There should be roughly equal parts foam and milk. The layer of foam can be up to an inch thick at some espresso bars.
Like the caffè latte, a talented barista can create intricate, beautiful designs on top of a cappuccino with the foam. Though, a traditional Italian cappuccino is generally left plain on top. Regardless of how it looks, a cappuccino is a little piece of Italian culture wherever you are. It makes any morning an extra bit better.
