In this blog post, we introduce you to the Frappuccino variant and, as always, give tips and tricks for a successful home-made Frappuccino!
Frappuccino, what is that actually?
The name is derived from the French verb "frapper" (meaning "to beat") in combination with the suffix "uccino" of the beverage cappuccino. In this case, however, "beating" is more to be understood as "bumping", because ice cubes are crushed for a Frappuccino. More on this later.
In addition, as already indicated, the term cappuccino creeps into the drink name, because in addition to the ice cubes, almost the same ingredients are used as those for a cappuccino. Milk and cream are the order of the day!
The history of the Frappuccino
The cold drink became famous in 1996 through the Starbucks coffee house chain. Starbucks' Frappuccino is particularly popular as a so-called "Java Chip" variant with chocolate sauce and drops. But its origins date back to 1992 with George Howell, the managing director of the coffee house chain "The Coffee Connection," which was bought by Starbucks in 1994.
He learned about the "café frappé" coffee trend from Greece, in which instant coffee powder is shaken with cold water in a cocktail shaker until frothy, then served in a latte macchiato glass on ice.
With the help of his then co-worker Andrew Frank, he succeeded in developing his own creation of this drink, which uses freshly brewed espresso or coffee instead of instant powder.
Already at this time, Frappuccino received an official registration as a trademark, which was also acquired in the course of the takeover of Starbucks.
