Has anyone seen this type of instant coffee available in stores?
(The spray-dried part is fairly relevant, given that the point would be to make Greek style frappé with it.)
As I understand it, Nescafé Classic is spray-dried and then reagglomerated into bigger particles because that's what consumers want. Give it a whirl in the blender maybe? Nescafé Gold is freeze-dried so probably wouldn't work for you.
Hi
Nescafé Classic as used in Greece is fairly unique, and you will be unlikely to source here in Suisse. The closest locally available product will be Red Cup which is spray dried.
OK, Red Cup does the foam thing, but... man, it hasn't gone through the olfactory fine tuning the Greek Classic has. =) I'll have to try one of the cheapos next and see whether they fare any better.

The agglomeration doesn't matter, but the drying process does. Apparently all of the oil is removed in spray drying, which makes the whole sugar-coffee emulsion of the frappé feasible.

Interesting, but unlikely for me. The point of spray drying is to keep the flavor IN. And I doubt that Nestlé would be happy about blasting all the aromatic coffee flavor up the chimney. Still, I don't have a better explanation why spray dried is better ... Is it?
