The caffè latte has been known by different names throughout Europe since the 17th century. It was first mentioned in print in 1867 by William Dean Howell in his book “Italian Journeys” and was served in regions frequented by Americans. In the 1950s it appeared on menus in Berkeley, California and via Seattle in the 1980s the caffè latte made it back to Europe.
The cup is called Landscape and was designed in 2008 by Patricia Urquiola for Rosenthal.
