Frappe  vs  Latte

do you know the difference? 

What are the big differences between a frappe vs latte?  Learn all about these two coffee drinks, and figure out which to order next!

Frappe

Pronounced as “frap-pay” or sometimes “frap,” frappe is a cold blended drink with a slushie consistency, because it has been shaken, blended, or beaten!

Latte

Latte, pronounced as “lah-tay,” is short for caffe latte. It is a hot coffee drink invented by the Italians by combining shots of espresso and steamed milk.

Main Ingredients in a Frappe 

This drink consists of instant coffee, water, and milk.  These are all mixed together in a blender or shaker! 

Main Ingredients in a Latte 

A latte uses just 1 shot of espresso but 2 ounces of steamed milk. A latte is definitely milkier than a cappuccino, and it is topped with a thin layer of froth or foam! 

So, which to get?  Latte or frappe?  It really depends on your mood. If you like something cold, go for a frappe. If you need to warm up, go for a cup of caffe latte!
