Why you shouldn’t drink cappuccino after breakfast: The 11 a.m. rule Italians swear by

In Italy, cappuccino is a breakfast ritual, traditionally enjoyed before 11 a.m. Italians believe milk is heavy and best suited for the morning, paired with a cornetto. After that, espresso takes over as the preferred coffee, offering a quick energy boost for the day’s activities, reflecting a cultural rhythm of timing and balance.
