Talk:Frappé coffee

message: I object to the article "Frappé (Greek)" being renamed "Greek frappé coffee". When you order a frappé, you simply ask for just that - a frappé. You do not ask for a "Greek frappé coffee". It's not like Irish Coffee, for instance. Irish Coffee is a term used internationally for a particular drink, whearas "Greek frappé coffee" is used no where by anybody for anything.
Similarly, we do not refer to Austrian cappuchino or French latté. 
I'm for changing the article back to "Frappé (Greek)".

And it might be correct to comment that 'frappé'  is a french word. (meaning to beat or knock  -as in the ice cubes do in a shaker) On menues the beverage is more often presented as  'Café frappé'. 'Greek' coffee is something entirely different.
It might be appropriate to mention Starbucks' Frappuccino in this article. It's clearly a derivative (perhaps an 2nd or 3rd derivative ;-) --Clconway 08:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What evidence do you have that it's a derivative?  It's a cold coffee drink involving sweetened coffee syrup with milk and emulsifiers (not instant coffee), ice, and a blender.  Nescafé frappé is made with instant coffee, sugar, water, and ice, and doesn't need a blender.  They're both cold coffee drinks, but then iced coffee predates both of them.... --Macrakis 23:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

text: On a related note, how is the Frappuccino "European?" From Frappuccino: "A frozen coffee drink similar to Starbucks's Frappuccino was invented by The Coffee Connection ... who coined and trademarked Frappuccino."  96.37.29.231 (talk) 00:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I oppose the proposed merger. One page is about a drink, the other is about a guy who made the drink.  What is this fondness for merging pages?  -The Gomm 21:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps because the inventor is not notable enough other than the invention of Frappe, so he doesnt deserve an article on his own. It should be expanded to be a proper bio article. Pictureuploader 07:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Yiannis Dritsas was the distributor for Nestle in Greece.
That's all.  That is little enough to be an appositive phrase.  Since no one has found anything else notable about this fellow since the merger was proposed, I am merging it in. If it turns out he later became president of Nescafé International and had three children with Britney Spears (now, that's notability!), the article can be split out again. --Macrakis 23:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. Just write the invention story too, and redirect his name here if you like. NikoSilver 23:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Even if true, this is a rather misleading statistic, as it compares Greek coffee consumption to world consumption and not consumption in coffee-drinking countries.  Although Greeks do love coffee, per capita consumption of coffee in Greece is less than half of what it is in Finland.  Moreover, per capita coffee consumption in Greece regularly ranks below such countries as Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany.  If it seems that Greeks are drinking more coffee, it might have to do with the durability of frappé foam and the custom of drinking frappé slowly over the course of an hour or two or three.Dansyoung 16:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "Most coffee shops do not produce frappe as the simplicity of their make up eludes most Barristas."
I am not sure about that sentence...
Actually, the majority of the Ireland section is a different style.  Could someone with some decent knowledge of the area edit it a bit? I know nothing about frappé, never mind in Ireland, so I'm not really qualified... --FaerieInGrey 20:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
