The Search for the Perfect Cappuccino: A Documentary.
I have a problem. I am obsessed with the cappuccino. I mean, obsessed. I will go miles and miles out of my way just to try a new one. I lie awake at night thinking about them. I even suspect that the cappuccino is the main reason that I keep finding excuses to go live in Italy.
But I’m an American. And every time I go into a new coffee shop here in America, I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. All previous experience indicates that what I’m about to do will be a disaster, but I let myself get suckered into it anyway. American cappuccinos are typically way too large, far too hot, and served in paper cups whose steep sides make it impossible to fully experience the cappuccino in a single sip. They’re also topped with stiff peaks that would be more at home on a key lime pie than a cup of coffee. Occasionally, they have been befouled with cinnamon. …more.
The above is an excerpt from a description about the film. It’s a deep detailed look into why American coffee is the way it is, and what it signifies for the rest of our culture.
I can’t wait until this thing screens on a national level. It must.
