Dalgona Whipped Coffee vs Greek Frappe: Taste Test
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- Dalgona is the whipped coffee that went viral on Tik Tok. It looks like a pillow of mousse over milk. Beautiful and fairly simple to make. I had to try it and so, naturally I wanted to compare it to the classic Greek frappe. Here’s what happened…
Print this recipe here: www.dimitrasdi...
For the Dalgona Coffee:
1-2 servings:
2 tablespoons of instant coffee
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of cold water
optional: splash of vanilla extract
ice and milk or steamed milk
optional toppings: cinnamon and/or cocoa powder
For the Frappe (1 serving):
Sweet: 1-2 teaspoons instant coffee plus 4 teaspoons sugar
medium: 1-2 teaspoons instant coffee plus 2 teaspoons sugar
plain: 1-2 teaspoons instant coffee and no sugar
ice
water
milk (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
For the Dalgona Coffee:
Combine the coffee, sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat together on high speed with an electric mixer until thick and glossy. Pour hot or cold milk into a glass and dollop the whipped coffee over top. Garnish with cinnamon and/or cocoa powder and serve.
For the Frappe:
Combine the coffee, sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons of cold water into a shaker and shake vigorously until a thick froth is created. Alternatively, whip the ingredients together using a milk frother or a milkshake machine.
Place some ice cubes int a tall glass and pour the froth into the glass. Fill with water and milk and serve immediately.

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.
You'd be surprised... plenty of French words are in common use instead of the Greek ones. Elevators and several car parts are prime examples of that.
blue, elevator, car parts, pen, appointment or date
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.
Greek/7slander here and never liked frappe (fast food coffee culture of...χαλαρά). I drink greek coffee. It is not everyday that greek borrows french words anymore, but everyday it borrows from english (hopefully french does not do that)
That’s funny I did this same comparison a few weeks ago and found that I like the frappe more.
YES THANK YOU! PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE THE WORST SHIT OF THEIR LIFE AFTER TRYING THIS! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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 :)
I love frapé! Have you ever tried a frapé float? With a scoop or two of vanilla inside! It's out of this world!
Tried this - it is heavenly ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, my drink of choice when in Greece ! Love it.
My favorite when on the beach in Greece. After the coffee, a shot of ouzo to wash it all down...ultimate buzz. lol
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.
Greek Frappe is the best⭐️ especially with Nescafe Frappe coffee. I also tried it with instant espresso & it is amazing!!! Love watching you 🇨🇦
If you try it with Nescafe espresso it’s like Fredocappucino the best coffee in Greece.
@@darlasis Is that the brand they use in Greece? My father always used Maxwell House and it was amazing....Going to pick up a Nescafe next time I go shopping 😁
Yes Nescafé is the best for making frappe and Fredocappucino really good.
@@darlasis Thanks so much🌿🌿
I have made iced coffee for years. I tried your Greek Frappe yesterday & my wife & I love it. Thank you. 🏴 🇬🇧
Frappe wins!! I’ve been drinking fraps hot and cold forever... the best coffee ☕️
how do you drink frappe hot?
@@niki-maria Frappe is a cold drink. Frappe means "Beaten" in French. It's the coffee shaken with the iceblocks.
@@jomichat1975 Thanks for that description. I am a greek who regularly drinks frappe and freddo espresso, I was just wondering what Diane meant by drinking it hot.
Here's a tip: Contrary to what most people think, you don't need to buy imported Nescafe from Greece, just buy regular Nescafe instant coffee for half, or even a third of the price. Εις υγειαν!
Nescafé instant coffee in Greece is spray-dried. There is a difference
@@HellenicLegend7 That's debatable. Maybe if you're a frappe connoisseur. For the average person there is no difference.
Nicely done. I'm Greek and I love Frappé! Please do a video on Papoutsakia. Thank-you we enjoy watching you and greetings from Canada!! 🇨🇦
There is already a papoutsakia recipe on her channel.
Γεια σου Δήμητρα , ελληνικό καλοκαίρι χωρίς φραπέ δεν γίνεται !!!! Χαιρετισμούς από Κρήτη.
γινεται και παραγινεται με ωραιο ελληνικο καφέ
Just came across your channel and it is full of great recipes!!!
I'm new to this coffee style and it is pure genius! I mean the frappe of course. Brilliantly easy way to make a refreshing cold coffee drink for coffee lovers! Thank you so much!!
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!
Totally agree!
Finally, thank you Dimitra! I have been trying to recreate the memory of the frappes on the beach in Crete. And we have a heatwave in Sweden!
Frappe all the way! 😄 I was waiting for someone to make this video to compare.. both drinks are good but nothing beats a cold frappe in summer time ☺️
I've made the iced Frappe twice since I watched your video yesterday! Delicious!!!
I tried both and it just tastes better the way we do it! Frappe all the way🇬🇷
It really does! Love my frappe :)
I am so trying this! I just made your tzatziki the other day too! So good. Thank you!
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.
Wendy's serves a decent cold brew. I always get it with a splash of cream.
I adore your videos and really hope you get a new mic soon because my speakers rattle even when my sound is on low!
Congratulations Dimitra on your 100k subscribers; love your all your videos and the recipes are tasteful also.
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! Ill try to make this I'm not a huge glass of milk fan either I refer milk with my cereal or hot cocoa or frappe, but I have to have decaf coffee.
The TRUE FRAPPE! No Frappuccino
Looks rich and strong,just the way I like my coffee. I’m not a huge fan of cold coffees or lattes but this one looks like it’s worth trying especially when it’s 100 degrees. It sure beats Starbucks prices! !
Oh yes!! How much for an iced coffee? A million dollars??!! lol! No thanks, I’ll make my frappe at home. Thank you very much 🤣
You should definitely try making Frappe at home - it is super easy and fab! And will cost you next to nothing, compared to Starbucks iced coffee, lol 👍
Amen sister!
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 make it English style. Make strong instant coffee(decaf for me) with a little hot water. Put in jug with lots of ice. Add cold milk. Sugar to taste. Vanilla sounds nice and will try that.
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.
My daughter and I will be visiting Greece this spring. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to exploring your channel before our visit.
So the only difference between the two is how much you whisk it and the dash of water you pour in before the milk?
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.
Awesome...What about a hybrid of the two? Make the frappe, add some of the dalgona, and a scoop of ice cream. Mmmmm
Nothing beats Cafe Frappe hands down 💯
Frappe? Isn’t it a French word? I’m Portuguese and was born in Congo. The “Frappe” was very common in my family. I wouldn’t say that it’s a Greek coffee style per say. Maybe we can say that it’s European. My past elderly neighbour who is from Poland also prepared it.
I don't even drink coffee, but I was very curious to see what the Dalgona is..... Have a great summer!!!
Dalgona coffee 👎
Φραπέ or Frappe 🇬🇷 👍👍👍 Love-Love-Love it on a hot sunny day. I'm same as you are - in between the σκέτος and the μέτριος με γάλα. Even brought a φραπέ shaker cup from Greece to Scotland...along with a μπρίκι and a couple of big packs of Λογμιδης Παπαγάλος Παραδοσιακός coffee. Loving all Greek is in my blood, with one of my granddads being half-Greek. Thank you for all your fantastic recepies 😍👍☕🥤🏺❤️💖
And by the beach 🏖 haha! In my dreams :)
@@DimitrasDishes Yes, to enjoy it to the full - beach is the must! ❤️😊👍 Unfortunately, can't make it to the beach this summer. My balcony will have to do for now until all this virus stuff and other issues are resolved 😬🤔🙄
I have the Hamilton Beach milkshake maker and the wisk makes the best frappe foam!
😊🥰❣️ love your videos!!!
BRAVO Dimitroula . 🇬🇷
Frappè for ever!🇬🇷❤️
Give me a frappe any day of the week
That looks so good! I will make it this morning. Sooo... a real Frape is nothing like the frozen drink at mcdonalds. I know nothing about greek food but after finding this channel ther÷ is so much id love to fix. It looks so good for my babys too as im pregnant with twins 💕
🥇 Greek Frappe. The Dalgona version looks like a bad tummy ache, for me 😂 Thanks for the review Dimitra! Stay safe :)
I like frappe better! This is the best!
Thx 4 the comparsion & demonstration. Also i don't use reg sugar. No 1 ever said u cud use a sub. Also on ur demo used a Mason jar. Which I hav. Ezier. & u can adjust ur frappe.
I’ve loved frappe for quite sometime. Please post a video for spanakopita. Thank you!!!
TWO Tablespoons of coffee and TWO Tablespoons of sugar! Jezz American obesity and anxiety.
I just made a keto version using monkfruit sweetener. That recipe also called for 2 Tablespoons each (instant coffee, sweetener, and water). Since this would be my third cuppa joe this morning, I cut the quantities in half and served it over 4 ounces of plain almond milk. Perfect and delicious!
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 usually buy the nescafe greek one instant. Is nescafe regular here in states just as good
Φραπεδαρα!
But it's better with nescafe greek. Or is there really a difference
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.
Nothing beats the Greek version of anything- Frappe all the way 🥰👍
It’s so good! And very simple to make :) you can’t beat that 🤗
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
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.
Personally I prefer the frappe but they’re both very good
Me too!! Love my frappe especially in this heat :)
Clearly the Greek frappe is my favourite!!!! Exactly out of the mentioned reasons!!!
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? :)
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 like the frappe because I don’t use any dairy with my coffee🇬🇷🇺🇸
Its better when you whisk the dalgona with milk before you put milk so the dalgona and milk would be evenly cooperates
I love that greek coffee frappé
So good ❤️ Greek coffee! Thanks 🙏
Dalgona is well known to be overrated flavor-wise however it is definitely a much more beautiful experience. It’s good for blogs.
I agree. Very impressive to look at but, for me the taste has to be there too :)
If you are one of those who "eats with their eyes" then sure, Dalgona is your drink. But if you are looking to satisfy your taste buds, then look no further than Greek Frappe!!!
Frappe is the standard!
Yes it is!!
I must try today. Thanks
I can just picture Gus Portokalos scoff at the Dalgona...
Leila, he tried it, said it tasted like windex
How much water and milk do you add after?
It's a winter's day where I am, you need to cater for us too! I still love you.
Dimitra,
What is your favorite instant coffee to use for Frappe?
It just doesn’t taste nearly as good when I make it at home.
Nescafe, definitely.
Dear Dimitra, I want to be one of the first to congratulate you on 100k subscribers. I will be engaged in life outside of my laptop and I did not want to miss the occasion.

Omg!! Thank you so much!! I can’t put my phone down. All day long, I’m counting down 🙈 so excited!!
Thank you so much for your support and for being a part of this community. I appreciate you so much 💙
Frappe for sure!
Dalgona is an overcomplicated and in efficient Greek Frappe....
I love a Greek frappe - or two to be honest. I prefer it sketos.
I made the dalgona and it was really good but more for photos
You need to put it on top of iced coffee
I just tried your Greek method and I prefer it to the Dalgona. No more need to go to Starbuck's for my iced coffee!
Yay!! Simple, economical, and tasty! Enjoy 😊
Yeah, you don't need to go to Starbucks, you can do it on your own home, and drink anytime you want 😉
Maybe be the milk on bottom first
You want Frappe you do it the Greek way. You want Kimchi you do it the Korean way.
wowwww Dimitra
Parfait!!!
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
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.
I love frappe cause I'm Greek :-) the other one looks like overload.
youre gonna have a bad day in the bathroom after trying this xD
@@JMarswav That's a bonus!
the important thing is that it's tast like coffe hhhh gd work
When you keep stirring it mixes well
I love my country 🇬🇷
Best coffee ever 👌❤️
May pour it in the glass first then add milk I am coffee addict I just may eat from the bowl yummy
But, wouldn’t that ruin the beautiful cloud of coffee? That froth is tasty!!
you really wanna have a bad day, dont u? exploding diarrhea........
@@JMarswav Good times!
I do the Dalgona over coffee... It's like wow!
Oh I forgot... Dalgona over hot coffee!
Duh don't drink the one wirh milk with a straw
I agree
What does the sign say on the microwave? Can't make it out.
It’s part of my logo: cook, share, create memories 💙
I had to cover the window on my microwave because it was causing a glare from our lights when filming videos :) my niece did the calligraphy.
Frappe και πάλι Frappe. 💝
@@DimitrasDishes Love your logo and your niece did a great job even though I couldn't see the writing. Xx
My mom loves u. So do I
Love you Dimitra Love you love you. Good girl so sweet. Keep up the good work.
Frappe all the way 😂 🇬🇷
Licking your fingers is a huge turn off.
Can I use decaf dried coffee?
Yes! You can use any instant coffee including decaf and espresso. Enjoy!
@@DimitrasDishes Thanks. Love your channel!!!
Interesting
Freddo cuppacino is the best...only greek is best 💖💖💖💖
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations!!!! You deserve it!!!
I perfer frappè
