Everyone knows: we Italians love espresso coffee! When the summer heat comes, there is nothing more satisfying than a good iced coffee. Here are some tips for a delicious "caffè freddo".

Cold espresso, perfect for summer 

Giuseppe Verdi, one of the most prominent and beloved Italian composers, best known for his operas, once said, "Coffee is the balm of heart and spirit." The great musician was indeed right. Nothing is better for the spirit than a cup of coffee...hot or cold! The truth is that many Italians, even in summer, do not give up their "tazzina di caffè bollente," the hot cup of coffee! Do you remember? Coffee for Italians must be short, hot, and espresso.
