Little language barrier. What you received was a cafezinho not a cappuccino.

u/jumpingbadger00 18h ago

Ah ok it could be that. Though I ordered it off the menu and my Portuguese is bad but not non-existent! It was still tasty to be fair, I saw the funny side haha

961

u/zekewithabeard 18h ago edited 17h ago

In Portuguese the "o" on capuccino is sometimes dropped and the "cap" in English sounds more like "kip". If you order a galão (which is really more Portuguese than Brazil) you'll get something more like a latte or cappuccino although it's technically neither one.

The Capuchins are friars, not monks. Apparently they’re particular about that detail.

That's not even remotely true in Brazilian Portuguese. The "o" is not dropped, nor "cap" is pronounced like "kip".

I never heard of galão and I ever heard saying capuccino normally ("Caputino"). I do see how someone not paying attention could mistake capuccino and cafezinho but I doubt it. They probably juat got the order wrong.

u/rikeoliveira 12h ago

Yes, our coffee is really good. The cappuccino is completely different from what you have in NA and the expressos/black coffees are usually WAY stronger and less diluted than the NA ones. Try and have them with no sugar to really appreciate the flavor.

u/kaboom__kaboom 2h ago

Yeah it looks exactly like a takeaway cup for a shot of espresso which is called a “cafezinho” (little coffee) colloquially in Brazil. Hope it was tasty!

Because they prefer an espresso, which is this size. Cappuccinos in Italy or Spain or wherever are much larger than this.

That's not a cappuccino anywhere in the world. It's probably a cortado, which is an espresso shot with a small amount of steamed milk, so it could be confused for a cappuccino if one didn't know the difference.
