Spanish Coffee Culture: The Unexpected Way Iced Coffee is Served

Madrid, Spain – A recent video shared by traveler Oskar_podroze has shed light on a unique aspect of Spanish coffee culture, surprising many international visitors. The traveler, who ordered an "iced coffee," was presented with a standard hot coffee alongside a separate glass filled with ice. "I ordered iced coffee in Spain and got this… it's hot coffee and ice in a glass," the traveler explained in his video, showing the two separate components. He then demonstrated how he had to pour the hot coffee into the glass of ice himself to create his desired cold beverage. This method, known as "café con hielo" (coffee with ice), is a traditional way of serving iced coffee in Spain. Customers are expected to combine the hot espresso with the ice to cool it down. The video quickly garnered attention, with many viewers sharing their own experiences and tips on how to order different types of cold coffee, such as "café frappé," which is more akin to blended iced coffee. The incident serves as a reminder for tourists to familiarize themselves with local customs to avoid unexpected surprises.
