For your first bag you get your money back, no need to send it back. Just tell us what you did not like.

Is a freddo espresso the same as iced coffee?

Not quite. A freddo espresso is a double espresso whipped with ice cubes and served over ice, with no milk, no syrup and no ice cream. It tastes of coffee, not of dessert.

What is a freddo espresso?

Freddo espresso is a Greek iced coffee: a double espresso, whipped with 3 to 4 ice cubes for about 10 seconds and poured over fresh ice cubes. Whipping creates a dense foam on top. More in our freddo espresso guide.

What is the difference between freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino?

A freddo espresso is just espresso and ice, while a freddo cappuccino adds a cap of cold, frothed milk. Both start the same way: a double espresso, whipped with ice cubes and poured over fresh ice cubes. Both recipes are on our site step by step.

How do I make a freddo espresso?

Pull a double espresso (60 ml) and whip it with 3 to 4 ice cubes for 10 seconds in a frappé mixer. Then pour it into a glass with fresh ice cubes.

Which coffee works best for freddo espresso?

A strong espresso with a firm crema works best, because ice dilutes the taste and the crema carries the foam. Use whole beans and grind them just before pulling the shot. FREDDO Espresso is made for this and tastes just as good hot as espresso, cappuccino or americano.

Do I need a coffee grinder?

FREDDO comes as whole beans. A bean-to-cup machine grinds them itself. For a portafilter machine or moka pot you need a grinder, set fine for espresso.

Can I make freddo espresso without a frappé mixer?

Yes, a shaker is enough. Shake the double espresso (60 ml) hard with 3 to 4 ice cubes for about 10 seconds until it is cold and foamy, then pour it over fresh ice. The frappé mixer is only the more convenient option because it whips the foam more evenly.

How many drinks does a 1 kg bag make?
