5:55 the melange coffee is originally from Vienna It’s very similar to the cappuccino, some might even say there is no difference at all, but you won’t make any friends in Vienna saying that :D
@@jennyglassmyer the Melange is way older than the italian cappuccino...just saying. As Viennese such a comparision will cost me just a mild smirk of contempt. And I will tell you why. The "italian cappuccino" has its origin in Vienna as well. The concept/idea of that particular coffee is not Italian at all but pure Viennese. It was brought to Italy by Viennese soldiers stationed in Italy during the time as Northern Italy was part of the Habsburg Empire in the 19th century..and its "original name" is "Kapuziner" which is italianized then "Cappucino" and the Kapuziner still exist in Vienna as well BUT it is originally a mocha with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles on top = "a coffee speciality" and not doable as so to say "Coffee to go" in a plastic cup. After the Habsburg Empire collapsed because of WW1 the Italians changed it into a espresso (after the invention of the espresso machine ) with milk foam and cacao powder which is on the one hand way cheaper (cacao powder and milk instead of real chocolate and cream) and quicker (espresso instead of mocha) to prepare and on the other hand in order to cut off the existing ties to Austrian coffee culture which were omni-present in Northern Italy while being part of the Austrian Empire... So in fact the concept/idea of "the italian cappucino" is just a "very cheap copy" of the original "Viennese Kapuziner" coffee. By the way it is named after the "Kapuziner Mönche/Capuchin monks" because their monk´s cowl had the same shade of brown. There is also a coffee called "Franziskaner" named after the "Franciscan monks" as well and their monk´s cowl has a way darker brown and so is the colour of that coffee as well although similar in concept to a "Kapuziner" coffee but with way less cream..basically just the stronger version of the same coffee.
Wonderful vlog, yet again! I was distracted toward the latter part of the video, but were you both enjoying Thai food on the way back to Berlin? I love Thai food!
