Tasty Frappe
Added By:
Joe's Coffee Blog
Accidentally invented by a Nescafe representative named Dimitris Vakondios in 1957 in the city of Thessaloniki, frappé is sold primarily in Greece and is among the most popular drinks in Greece and Cyprus, and is available at virtually all Greek cafés. The word frappé is French and means ‘chilled in crushed ice’. The frappé has become a hallmark of post-war outdoor Greek coffee culture.
In the United States, “frappe” has two meanings, only one related to coffee, and neither connected to the Greek coffee drink. In the northeastern region of New England, a frappe (pronounced “frap” and spelled without the accent) is a thick milkshake. A coffee shop in Boston, Massachusetts called Coffee Connection combined a milk shake with coffee and called it “frappuccino”. When Starbucks bought that shop, it bought the trademarked name. The Starbucks in Greece offers both Frappuccino and Greek-style “Frappe” (written by Starbucks without the accent). Since then frappe has entered the American lexicon as an iced coffee drink, either sold chilled or frozen. Many of Starbucks’ competitors, in the United States, in the Philippines and elsewhere, have begun offering drinks similar to the popular and trademarked frappuccino and called them “frappe” with or without the accent, some which do not include any coffee.
