If you live in the U.S., you probably think of the cappuccino as a few tablespoons of black, bitter sludge topped by airy, stiff, unsweetened dishwater-foam. But a cappuccino should be a delicate blend of espresso and milk into a velvety-sweet cream that is both dense and light at the same time. In the country that managed to put a man on the moon, why is it nearly impossible to find the perfect cappuccino? In this feature-length personal essay, one American woman's lifelong obsession with finding the perfect cappuccino takes her all over Italy and pushes her to confront her country's depressing, distressing ongoing love affair with national brands and corporate culture.
