Nah, thank Italians for that - we (well, my ancestors) have been doing it for at least three centuries now. Latte just means "milk" in Italiano, macchiato means "stained" which is just coffee with a few drops of milk (so "latte macchiato" is "stained milk" so that coffee is just there to add flavour rather than the other way around), and cappuccino means "hoodie" and refers to the foam that covers the coffee. |
I knew that the names were Italian. I just figured that Starbucks chose Italian words to give their drinks a more "authentic" feel. Guess I was wrong, though!
