Literary analysis:
In several literary passages the term “cappuccino” has transcended its role as a mere beverage to evoke a warm, muted brown hue reminiscent of creamy espresso foam. In these instances the drink’s familiar coloration becomes a metaphor for a gentle, inviting ambiance—suggesting both comfort and understated elegance. For example, scenes set in urbane tearooms and lounges subtly draw on this imagery, where ordering an “iced cappuccino” or a freshly made cup conjures not only a tasty indulgence but also the soft, earthy tone of its froth and brew [1, 2]. Such use enriches the narrative by tapping into the reader’s sensory experience, merging taste with visual poetry.
  1. “Mrs Torrence’s tearoom across the street—they make the best cappuccino in the hood, and the pastries are all baked fresh.
    — from Makers by Cory Doctorow
  2. There the couple sat in the opulence of the Baiyoke Sky Lounge revolving around glass windows and ordering their cappuccino.
    — from Corpus of a Siam Mosquito by Steven David Justin Sills
