Answers:
The frappachino is generally referring to a frozen version of the cappachino which is traditionally served hot.

The frappachino is a highly marketed term strummed up from corporate America.....namely Star Bucks. My God, how original. Stupid corporate bastards!

The spelling is frappuccino. It's a mixture of coffee with water, milk, syrup that's blended to a milkshake like consisitency. The name was originated by a coffee company in the Boston area (Coffee Connection) that was aquired by Starbucks. In New England - a frappa refers to a ice cream milkshake.

A cappuccino is an Itailian based coffee drink that's prepared with espresso, hot milk and foam. It's different from a latta, which has more milk, less espresso and little foam.
The beverage is named after the color of the Capuchin friars habit, which is light/darkish brown with a white hood. The name of the friars themselves (and the monkey also named after them) comes from the Italian word for hood, "cappuccio" [kap'put:?o], which is also often used colloquially for the beverage. The '-ino' suffix denotes a diminutive in Italian.

easy
cappuchino is hot
frappuchino is cold and taste better
