Answer 5

I like frape in the summer and hot instant coffee in the winter. I don't like nescafe classic, I like nescafe alta rica and jacobs the green one. everybody in greece is using nescafe classic and I hate it.

I know some special recipes. instead of a drop of milk in your frape ad half water, half milk. it's better like that. fresh milk of course. one other recipe is to add coconut powder in the frape and coconute juice instead of milk.

another is to use cinamon powder on top of the frape.

Answer 9

Yes Greeks drink a lot of coffee. Especially our local "hellenic coffee" which is hot coffee, or " frape" which is cold coffee.

Also we drink wine, beer and whiskey.

The time we go out for a coffee with friends, it's not just about coffee. I mean, we don't just have a quick cup of coffee and go. No. It's a way to contact with your friends, talk with them, laugh with them,and that's why it always takes us a couple of hours to finish the coffee and leave the table. It's a way of living.

Answer 10

Frappeee... I really love Frappe!!

But one thing is funny... I love Frappe so much and I know how to do It but I like to drink It when I'm in Greece when I'm in other countries, now in Portugal for exemple I don't drink It a lot :S just when I'm in Greece.

Yes we drink a lot of coffeeeee... and Frappe is number one!

Answer 11

hi

frappe is the king of coffees especially in Thessaloniki. (beware of the price )

Some times i have freddo but never frappe when i went to the islands.

P.S. frappe has so much caffeine that will make Cobe dunk from the center line!
