Freddo Espresso,[1] originating from Greece (Greek: Φρέντο εσπρέσο, Fredo Espresso, [freɪdo ɛˈspreso]) is a method for making cold esspreso coffee. A small amount of nearly boiling water is forced under pressure through finely ground coffee beans, similar to how espresso is made. Then, it is cooled down quickly by mixing it with ice in a drink mixer. Freddo coffe was first introduced in 1992 by KAFEA TERRA, as a cold summer beverage with creamy texture to promote coffee during the warm Greek summers.[2]
Freddo has become part of the Greek culture. It is not to be confused with the other famous Greek cold-coffe drink, Frappe. The main difference is that Frappe is made with instant coffee and not ground coffee beans roasted for espresso. The Frappe goes back n 1957, which was accidentally discovered by at the Thessaloniki International Fair by Mr. Dimitris Vakondios, a coffee vendor at the kiosk.[3]
