Equipment

  • 1 Frappe Mixer or handheld Electric Whisk The most crucial piece of equipment for achieving the characteristic frothy top of a Greek Frappe. A frappe mixer is a small, handheld electric device specifically designed for this purpose. If you don't have a frappe mixer, a regular handheld electric whisk or milk frother can work as well.
  • 1 Shaker If you prefer a more traditional approach or don't have an electric whisk, a cocktail shaker can also be used. Shaking the coffee vigorously in a shaker produces a nice froth.
  • Tall Glass A tall glass is preferred for serving Greek Frappe. It not only accommodates the volume of the drink but also showcases the beautiful layers of froth and coffee
  • Spoon For mixing the coffee and water initially and for adding any sugar or milk.
  • Straw ypically, a straw is provided for sipping the frappe. It allows you to stir the drink as you consume it, mixing the froth and liquid evenly.
