on 5/20/2008 YUM!. I'm gonna make this right away

Here is another interesting piece of news. I just heard that Gevalia coffee company has a promotion now and is giving away 3 boxes of their coffee along with a coffee mug for just $3. Sounds like an interesting offer. Read about it at the site below.

on 1/1/2007 You can also try different flavoured ice-creams :] In my experience the more ice the better, otherwise it's just a coffee flavoured shake rather then a frappe.. Anywho, loved the article!..

on 10/23/2006 The Greek frappé, which gets its creamy foam from the coffee rather than ice cream, pectin, or thickeners, is the outstanding style. The recipe posted on 8/8/2006 is basic and authentic. I know: I co-wrote a book about it, "Frappé Nation." You can learn more about the book and the Greek-style frappé, which was invented in 1957, at www.frappenation.com.

on 8/8/2006 You need two teaspoons of Nescafe Classic (instant coffee), and either 1, 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar (depending whether you want your coffee sweet or not). Add just a little bit of water, just enough to cover the coffee and sugar. Use a milkshake machine to blend contents or a hand style mixing machine. Once froth is ready, add water to about 3/4 of glass and then add milk and ice.

Always server Frappé with a glass of water.
