He put instant coffee, sugar and water, shook it up and created the first coffee frappe in history. Years later he stated that he could not have imagined that his simple &#8220;experiment&#8221; would lead to the invention of the most famous cold beverage in Greece.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many years the discovery of instant coffee was attributed to America and Satori Kato, who was working in Chicago in 1901.
