Home made Nescafé Frappe
Looking for blog posts about Nescafe, here's an interesting view on Nescafé: Instant Coffee, anyone? is a post by Chrissy, who apparently got hooked on Nescafe while living in Greece for a while. In her post she promotes the delights of Nescafe served in a...hmmm..."new" way:
When I used to live in Greece, all the coffee houses used NesCafe for all their hot & cold drinks; when made right, these coffees will beat anything Starbucks can put out in a New York minute!
So if you want to test my theory, just pull out your shaker or your hand mixer, use 1-1/4 tsp. of NesCafe in a tall glass with abt. an inch of milk in the bottom [and as much sugar as you need] and blend it until you get a thick, creamy froth. Then slowly pour your cold water [and more milk if you need it] without wrecking the foam and possibly add a few ice cubes.
It's summer, it's hot, and I think I'm gonna try this :-)
as a true coffee snob, i am simply delighted to have discovered (or rediscovered...forgot i had nescafe long ago on a hiking trip) Nescafe Taster's Choice, thanks to a colleague at work who let me know it's not just another 'instant' coffee.
after bouncing from melitta to french press to mr. coffee/gevalia machines to senseo to espresso to turkish/greek and then back again, i am very happy to include nescafe as another valid, PREFERABLE, form of coffee! i admit, i know only the TC versions (the three basic strengths/styles).
i am intrigued. why isn't there an international distribution of ALL the nescafe styles of coffee? i see amazon.com has a good bit including an argentine one. but i'd love to get ahold of and sample them all. glad i have a relative working on a degree in the UK. i know what i want her to bring back for christmas!
cheers and glad to have found this blog!

I lived in the midwest during the Starbucks' boom. Because I had a long lasting Greek boyfriend, I was never tempted to even try it! Several years later I moved to Seattle and I find myself telling the people about "real" Frappes.
Don't be fooled by the Mexican labeled Nescafe, it's different. It has to be Greek. Might be Turkish instant.
