First let’s start with the word Espresso; the Italian word espresso and its English counterpart, Express, both mean the same thing; fast or quick. In relationship to coffee, the proper way to use the word Espresso is to preface it with the word “caffè” – caffè espresso or espresso coffee. Otherwise, in Italian you could be speaking about anything “espresso” even an espresso train – express train.

The word “Cappuccino” or Cappuccetto” are the diminutive forms of the Italian word for a small “Cappuccio”. A cappuccio is a hat in the shape of a hood, usually attached to winter coats and similar to the hoods attached to ski jackets or the cowl worn by monks. One can see the relationship between the English word “Cap” that you wear on your head, derived from the Latin/Italian words; “caput”, “cappello” “cappa” or “coppola” related to the word “capa” and the word Cappuccio or Cappuccino or hood.
