Why is it not allowed to drink cappuccino after 11 a.m.?

Coffee drinkers, we are hurrying you with news: good or bad - it depends on your attitude. It turns out that not all refreshing drinks can be consumed throughout the day. Coffees should be consumed at different times depending on the recipe, says chef Gino D'Acampo.

According to him, cappuccino should never be drunk after 11 o'clock in the morning. This is due to the effect of caffeine on the digestive system. "Cappuccino milk enters the stomach after meals and slows down the digestive system. This is the last thing people have to do," the boss explained on TikTok.

At the same time, Gino D'Acampo recommends consuming espresso after each meal. In addition, the chef believes that this coffee drink is harmless throughout the day. Unlike cappuccino, it accelerates blood circulation and improves the gastrointestinal tract. "The faster the blood circulates in the body, the better the digestive system works, and that's why Italians drink espresso after meals," the boss said.

However, the chief's theory caused a negative reaction from users. Many of them concluded that Gino d'Acamponi adhered to outdated Italian traditions. It turns out that it has become customary in the country to drink milk only for breakfast, and in the second half of the day to switch to lighter drinks: espresso and makiato. Italians believe that milk disrupts digestion, causes swelling and heaviness.
