Recently, a foam coffee has become an overnight sensation on Instagram, sweeping across South Korea. When making foam coffee, it is essential to use instant coffee; ground coffee beans are not suitable, and some claim that three-in-one instant coffee cannot be used for foam coffee as it does not yield a thick milk cap. However, I managed to make it with three-in-one instant coffee despite not being able to find coffee powder.
Its ingredients are simple, and the whipped coffee foam is dense and delicate. When mixed with milk and stirred, it is exceptionally delicious and has an outstanding texture.

Ingredients for Dalgona Coffee:
– Coffee: 30g
– Sugar: 30g
– Hot water: 30g
– Milk: 250g
Method for making Dalgona Coffee:
Step 1: Combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a 1:1:1 ratio in a cup or bowl.
Step 2: Use a whisk at high speed and beat for about two minutes.
Step 3: Whip until thick and set aside (Friendly reminder: Do not make large movements at the beginning, or the coffee will splash everywhere. Once it becomes slightly thick with a bit of texture, increase the movement without splashing).
Step 4: Add ice cubes to a glass, then pour in milk.
Step 5: Add some coffee cream, and the Dalgona coffee that has become popular overnight in South Korea is ready.
Step 6: Stir well before drinking, and you will have a sweet latte. It is recommended to use a larger cup and not fill it too full to allow for proper mixing with the milk.
Step 7: Foam coffee is also known as 4000 times coffee, named so because it requires 4000 whisks to create a coffee milk cap. Whisking 4000 times by hand might be too much for one’s arm, so it is advised to use an electric mixer in practice.
Step 8: The super popular 40000 times hand-whipped coffee cream is a viral drink that can be made at home.
Step 9: A casual photo posted on social media attracts countless likes, so everyone should give it a try.
