Do I have to choose between coffee beverages generally, or those that are in my consumption list? Well, if the case is coffee beverages in general, I would get rid of the frappe. Not only it is made with instant coffee, but also it has sugar and milk… gross!

If I have to choose between my brewing methods, then… I don’t know… I will have to choose between the AeroPress and V60 for being similar in the final result. I will most probably keep the AeroPress with me.

About my favorite brewing gear, it is the hand grinder! Not also it looks clean and cool, but it also brings excellent results!

Oh, no! 🤔 I wasn't expecting to hear frappuccino at all. 🙃😆

I hope I'll have the one that I've been craving for the longest time before they ever eradicate it.
@yelimarin shared a lovely glass of frappe recently. It's one of those I have in mind 😋

That is the beverage that has the least meaning for me and I would never buy myself one. Maybe when the end of the world comes and there’s nothing else coffee-based left, I would enjoy one 😁

Definitely a strong candidate here! While I love a good iced flat white, I find a lot of these frilly, excessively sweet iced coffee desserts drinks superfluous. :D

PS: That AeroPress is slick af.

... and bloody pricey, too

I love everything with coffee, frappuccinos are a delight as a dessert to kill cravings from time to time. I make them at home and it is quite an event. On my blog, I have a video with the recipe.

Hehe! So does your Frappe actually taste coffee?

Yes, Milly, I make it with instant coffee and it is delicious.

Ok, that's good to hear. Why Instant and not brewed real coffee, though?

That frapp looks yummy and tempting.
And now I'm craving one like this frappuccino that my son had when he was home a couple of months ago at a breakfast place we have nearby.

But health is first, so instead I'll stick to my morning black coffee for now;) Cheers! ☕️

Wow! That's decadent and tempting. I would have one of those once a year for a sugar fix. It's been ages since I last had anything like that. I do stick to just Black coffee daily.
That's a divine cup.😋

Black coffee for me, please, although I can order some frappé as dessert 🙈 For me, it doesn't count as coffee.

Your hand grinder looks like the Christmas gift I'd love to get this year ❤️😌

For me the coffee is black all the time! No sugar added, no creamer, no milk… nothing! If coffee is good enough it doesn’t need any “boosters” at all.

This grinder cost me about $50 and it is in the mid price range of manual grinders, yet offers amazing quality. I bought it from AliExpress with free delivery to Bulgaria. And looks amazing too!

I'm more flexible about coffee, I guess, partly because I'm not a connoisseur. I hope to try many more options before I say that there's nothing else for me that can be called coffee other than black coffee. But I tell you, so far black coffee is number one for me, indisputably. My spirit and stomach won't take anything else first hour in the morning!

And thank you for the info. I might buy a beautiful hand grinder like yours! It's affordable 😃

I like having a frappe as a dessert sometimes, basically coffee ice cream! It's value to me as caffeine rates pretty low however. I need coffee that I can drink by the bucket 🤣

The hand grinder is beautiful, what a sleek item! 🙌

Actually the caffeine content in the instant coffee is highest among the coffee beverages, but I really don’t know how much coffee do they usually put inside.

You are right that frappe can replace a dessert sometimes 😉

Frappuccinos are too sweet and always end up being more of sweet than coffee. But I don't know if I wanted to get rid of them, hehe. Occasionally I can have one not as coffee but as a dessert.

I love your coffee grinder, I love the simple design.

I've had some frappes that had very little sweet with rich strong coffee, but that was many moons ago at an Austrian lady's Coffee Shop in Jamaica:)
I still dream about them. Since then, I've only ever found ones that are too sweet or too icy =that give me a headache. Those, yeah, it should be illegal to sell them 😆
