November is here and so is the cooler weather, making it the perfect season for a warm cuppa joe. Known for their milk designs, cappuccinos are both festive and warm. This espresso-based coffee drink originated in Italy. The cappuccino is prepared with steamed milk and topped with foamed milk. In Italy, the drink has an ounce of espresso and an ounce of milk and foam.
