Pathetic
Sourced to youtube. We were making this at boarding school fifty years ago. It isn't that special. -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 10:37, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Funnily enough, both my mother and my wife's mother, who both were in boarding school/kibbutz in Israel about 45 years ago, said the same exact thing. Something tells me this is a much broader phenomenon, just one of those things that kids with time and free instant coffee came up with. Honestly, I'd love to find more anecdotal evidence to back this up. Bowiz2 (talk) 18:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Country of origin
The country of origin of this drink should be sorted out. The infobox had said South Korea, then someone changed it to India, then someone added while leaving India. That entry is sourced to an article from and Indian website that keeps calling it South Korean. Yet the article tells us that South Korea picked up on it and made it a fad after a South Korean celebrity was recorded being served it in Macau, which is neither South Korea nor India. It may also not originate in Macau, but the point is that if that video is where the South Korean fad came from, then its origin isn't South Korea, despite the other source that keeps saying it is. Neither source indicates that it's from India. Largoplazo (talk) 12:14, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- All of the sources I looked at say pretty much the same thing; this is South Korean variant of an Indian drink. Some articles don't discuss any distictions between the variants; however, India Today notes: "However, the only difference is that in our version of the Dalgona, we pour milk over that mix. In the case of Dalgona Coffee, the frothy mix is added on top of iced milk to make it look Instagram-worthy." [1]. I'm fine with both countries appearing in the navbox; the text of the article discusses the origin in more detail. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:20, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
I believe that it was served in Maputo Mozambique in 1996. And long before. BLAKEY1902 (talk) 15:30, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
This has been popular in Paraguay as "Cafe Batido" for many years. There are references online that date back 10 years: [2][3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twa16 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Dalgona in Korean is 달고나커피. Glenn Hong (유민상) is one of the most famous brewer in Korea for Dalgona.
The current variant or form that is globally known as Dalgona coffee (with whipped mix on top and milk at bottom) is distinctively South Korean. Beaten coffee in general may have roots in many other places (India? Macau? Mozambique? Paraguay? etc.), and we couldn’t list all of them in the infobox. 131.111.5.182 (talk) 00:08, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
How is it “distinctively South Korean” when the drink appeared outside of South Korea? The trend is distinctively South Korean, the origin of the drink is not - there is a huge difference between the two. Just seems like people want this to be South Korean so badly for some reason or another when this should just be merged into the whipped coffee page and a small paragraph should suffice, along with “dalgona coffee” being redirected to that page.
Frappé coffee
See wikipedia page on "frappé coffee." This originated in Greece, not South Korea. Yes, it became a trend in South Korea but it did not originate from there. Tatatater (talk) 01:49, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Dalgona origin
This was available in Mozambique before 1996. You can check. BLAKEY1902 (talk) 15:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
