Must be a VERY small person.
Cappuccino is a diminutive word in Italian, relating to the white and brown clothing or habit of the Cappuchin friars. It is a relatively small coffee drink, being shorter than a cafe latte.
The Cappuccino is often refered to by coffee makers (barristas) as "the short, frothy one".
