I have never tried the "Dalgona" coffee. Actually, I've never heard of it. Frappe reminds me of Greece. I love it. Did you know that "Frappe" is a French word? It means "Beaten" . It's not every day that the Greek vocabulary borrows a French word. Usually it's the other way around.

Well said. Greeks has incorporated quite a few French words and nouns in their vocabulary. The most common ones that come to mind is rendez vous and collier. The first is widely used in Greece.

Thanks for making both drinks. Frappé is also served with evaporated milk and I like it either way. I do not recommend off brands for instant coffee, Nescafé is better and don't get the dark roast, unless you like the bitterness.

Just came across your channel and it is full of great recipes!!!

I am so trying this! I just made your tzatziki the other day too! So good. Thank you!

Greek here, some fun facts about Frappe. When you drink frappe in Greece, you NEVER drink the foam, as it is known to taste bad. Most of the time, you make foam, and use it like a "coffee storage". So you drink the "foamless" part first, and then by adding cold water or milk again, you just get more coffee. I haven't had the Dolgona coffee, but just drinking the foam part... it just seems so weird to me.

Another Greek here from Greece, specifically from Piraeus. Personally, I like to drink the foam so that's what I do first and then the coffee liquid so it has enough time to get integrated. Matter of taste....of course :)

My friend Christy showed me the frappe version and it’s definitely better because it tastes like coffee. The other way didn’t dissolve into the milk as well.

wowwww Dimitra

I remember drinking my first frappe long time ago in Heraklion, Crete. It was that time on a steaming hot day when nobody was around but my friend and me, we were waiting for a bus that would take us to a all-inclusive hotel at south-eastern part of the island (just a side note, that was my first and also the last experience with all-inclusive holiday, I found out that I am just not cut out to be barbecued on sun by the pool without any adventure, secluded from locals and their life). In a small bar just few meters from the main street, tucked away behind a wall of greenery were four older men, talking heatingly about I don't know what, but the barman took us in with a warm smile and we ordered a frappe as it was the only thing from the menu we recognized (I am from Slovakia, and unfortunately cannot speak any Greek). The coffee came with a small but very tastefull cookie. When I close my eyes, I see that little bar, arguing gentlemen and I can almost taste the best frappe of my life. Even though I tried once to make it back at home, it was never that good. Thank you for this video and bringing back the memories.

How much water and milk do you add after?

I don't even drink coffee, but I was very curious to see what the Dalgona is..... Have a great summer!!!

I think I'd prefer the frappe. Don't have a hand mixer to even try it but I also don't like drinking milk. Gave that up at 12. After I saw you make a frappe, I've made quite a number of times. Also partial to my cold brew.

I've been to Greece 3 times (2x Rhodos, 1x Ios) and Frappé is RIDICULOUSLY good. Especially when relaxing at the beach :D . It still tastes like coffee, instead of some other stuff (like starbucks etc) that tastes more like coffee-flavored milk, yuck. Frappé & Gyros/Souvlaki was pretty much my diet during those vacations. Good times!

Nescafe, definitely.

Is the Frappe the delightful cold coffee drink that I had in Athen and at the ferry? I have had dreams of that coffee since I returned home. I will be making the Frappe with hopes it is what I remember.

I made the dalgona and it was really good but more for photos

Dalgona coffee made here is not served correctly. It's usually served in a short glass, think low ball glass or a coffee mug. It is stirred with a spoon at the end to get it all mixed together. It is more milk based. That part is correct. To me, they are similar drinks. It's just personal preference if you like more milky or not.

So it seems like frappe just has more water and less milk, and you put the foam on the bottom? How do you ask for a frappe with milk and sugar in Greek? :)

@DimitrasDishes

2 жыл бұрын

that, and the sugar is not whipped into the foam and the frappe is so much easier to drink :) In Greek, we say: Frappe me gala

I have just watched this video and straight away though! when the Dalgona coffee was made the straw went straight down into the milk hence the milk taste. How about swapping it around? Putting the coffee paste in first and then the milk that I think makes more sense!!! Anyway like yourself Dimitra I am not that keen on milk I was just wondering!!!! Has anyone tried it that way? Great video though! thanks

@pmparda

Yeah your solution is basically frappe. I mean obviously frappe is made with water and some milk, evaporated mostly. But milk lovers cad definitely use only milk to make frappe. It always baffled me that people would make dalgona, it's a complicated frappe actually.

You dont sip it with straw like that cause all u gonna get is milk. You gotta drink it from the glass so youll get the concentrated coffee and some milk as you drink it

Frappè for ever!🇬🇷❤️

Wow, the comments on here about Greek Frappe are educational. For me it’s more or less like deciding what you feel like while in like a Starbucks or mom and pop cafe. If I feel like Dalgona or a Frappe, that’s the coffee for the day for me. Buuut, still Frappe wins. But is it because we know Frappe and are just getting to know Dagona? Great video.

I like the frappe because I don’t use any dairy with my coffee🇬🇷🇺🇸

They are the same to me? You just changing the milk percentage. Just make Dalgona with less milk , I do 1 gr coffee ,1gr sugar (erythritol) , 25 ml water , MIX (I have a special high powered mixer that is made for that exact thing so there is no mess and it works well in 1 min , I usually go longer cause I have become an expert at it and I want a consistency where I can make the froth rotate in a satisfying way) In a glass add 3 small ice cubes and 30 gr of high fat milk 3.6 , or 20 grams of 10% fat milk put the the froth on top and mix with a straw. If I add more milk it tastes like milk which I don't like, if I add more water it tastes bland so that is perfect. And if you want to make it for 2 or more people just multiply.

Clearly the Greek frappe is my favourite!!!! Exactly out of the mentioned reasons!!!

Dalgona is well known to be overrated flavor-wise however it is definitely a much more beautiful experience. It’s good for blogs.
