用法筆記

Cappuccino is commonly countable when ordering by the cup (e.g., 'two cappuccinos, please') and uncountable when talking about the drink in general ('I prefer cappuccino to latte'). The standard Italian spelling has two 'p's and two 'c's — a common learner mistake is to write 'cappucino' (one 'c').

常見錯誤

❌I ordered a cappucino with extra foam.
✅I ordered a cappuccino with extra foam.
💡The Italian word has two 'p's and two 'c's; the most frequent spelling error is dropping one 'c'.
❌Can I have a cappuccino without coffee?
✅Can I have a hot milk with foam?
💡A cappuccino always contains espresso; what you are thinking of is steamed milk with foam.
