Welcome to Frappé Nation
Some look at a glass of frappé and see only a mixture of instant coffee, sugar, water, and ice. The citizens of Frappé Nation look at the same glass and see a symbol of idyllic summers in Greece.
The frappé is not merely a morning pick-me-up or a refreshing afternoon break. The fabulously foamy iced coffee lifts moods, stimulates conversation, announces your connection to a lifestyle unique to Greece, and connects you to it when you’re away. It is nothing less than a modern Greek elixir.
Frappé Nation: the book
In Frappé Nation: Ora Gia Kafe (Time for Coffee), the first book to document the frappé way of life, authors Vivian Constantinopoulos and Daniel Young investigate the bond between modern Greeks and their national drink. This special relationship is rooted in an ancestral thirst for public dialogue and interaction, hence the chapter they devote to “The Ancient Art of Greek Conversation.” Other chapter titles indicate the scope of Vivian and Daniel’s cultural exploration:
* The Story of Greek Coffee and Coffee in Greece
* From Kafeneio to Café to Cafeteria
* The Invention of Frappé
* The Science of Frappé Foam
* The Frappé Formula (how to make a frappé)
* The Frappe Diaspora
