It’s true. Thermal expansion also happens to cast iron pans as well. Whenever I have to clean an iron pan after using it on a stove I would have to wait several minutes and then clean it with hot water instead of cold or even room temperature water. I do this so that the pan doesn’t go through thermal shock and doesn’t create a crack.
That's not how physics works buddy, you need to go from one extreme to the other, 20° to 100° is nowhere near fast enough of a temperature change nor is it extreme enough. Or if you're French it would be around -2° to like 60° or so

I think this is a thing in southern Italy btw. Just so tourists seeing this video don’t get disappointed lol. I lived in Florence for several months and never saw this. But I read about it online a lil and others in the comment section here are mentioning that it’s a thing in southern Italy. They’re not that into icey things in Florence besides gelato lol
How I do this at home: Put coffe in a glass bottle, freeze it vertically, than take it out, put it in a big enough (I use a much smaller bottle than him) cup of hot tap water (not boiling water) so that the coffee gradually melts, when it is half liquid and half frozen shake it hard so that has that peculiar consistency. Also I enjoy hot espresso without sugar, but this needs sugar, cold bitter coffee really isn't great if you ask me. So just put some sugar in the coffee before freezing it.
You know, i did a little research paper on this. You'd need to drink about 46 cups of decently strong coffee within an hour, to reach the LD50 of caffeine. Is it possible? Yeah. Likely? Nah. Will you shit your pants? Yeah.
That is cool but Ive never seen this had in Italy and my Italian friends had never heard of it (one from Florence, one from Torino and one from Milan). Is this an "Italian" iced coffee or did you see an Italian make it once? Two very different things because if its the latter, microwaving white bread with a slice of american cheese and eating it with cold fish and chips fish is now an Australian grilled cheese because i saw an Aussie do it once.
My only issue is the wording, it should be called a frozen coffee, not an iced coffee, when ice is never added. We’ve had frozen coffee drinks for years, usually they have Italian sounding (to Americans) names, like Frappuccino, or Coolatte. It’s just weird because iced tea, iced water, iced coffee, are all drinks that we add ice to, & slushy drinks, we add the word frozen to, like frozen lemonade
I would take this over the sweet American version anytime. 🙌 I hate sipping an iced coffee with so much sugar after you're done, you feel like you've got carpet tongue 😅
As someone who is friends with an italian from Rome, the first time he asked me if i want iced coffee i thought he was trolling me, he literally put a shot of expresso in a glass with a couple of ice cubes, and said don't worry i added a teaspoon of sugar so it isn’t bitter.
I would think Italians would think it sacrilegious to put espresso in the freezer but that's just how I expect Italians to think of doing anything out of the ordinary.
simply take a single shot of espresso, add some ice cubes and put them in the shaker tool (like barista use for cocktail). Put it into a nice glass, usually a cone shaped glass but whatever you prefer and add whatever you want on top, cocoa, chocolate, or as we do a single coffee bean. Drink will be refreshing with a nice foam on top@@BentleyGadget

I'm from north east part of Italy, unfortunately I never had this type of ice coffee but I will absolutely try it this summer. When you order Ice coffee here they put coffee and ice in to a shaker, I love it ❤
Barista suggestion: hold the shots with water. Not enough water to make an Americano, but enough to stop the espresso from oxidizing and getting that horrible burnt tangy taste. You could also hold it with simple syrup, I guess. Or milk. Just something to hold it and keep it from going yucky.
I ordered an iced coffee in a random little cafe Rome. They looked at me like I'm mad. I said "just make a regular coffee, and put ice in it! So i had a hot coffee, in a small latte glass with an oversized cylindrical icecube in it that tasted slightly sour. Yeah, iced coffee isn't really a thing in Italy for most people, even on 40-degree days.
Italian coffee culture is very varied it seems. I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but something that comes close to the video is the granita al caffè that I have had in Naples once.
Tastes really good! Also works scaled down for me. I dose 18g of coffee grinds and pull two espresso shots with it, repeat that and after it’s frozen only use one shot to melt it, afterwards I drink it myself 😂 Thank you for the recipe got a few others hooked now
I do not know why Mediterranean countries always seem to do coffee better. You’d assume the people that make the best hot drinks would’ve been in the colder areas, Northern Europe. But no.
guys chill out the bottle wont shatter since its been frozen on its side rather than standing up there wont be heat going around the entire glass in a ring shape which is what is needed to break glass with thermo expansion
Pro tip. If you live in a hot dry area drinking hot coffee or tea will actually cool you down. It sound counterintuitive but it makes you sweat which will cool you down. It doesn’t really work well in hot humid areas though.

Ohhhh I need to try this! I love straight espresso but idk how this could be any kind of iced coffee since it's frozen and it's espresso. Does this mean I need to plan my drinks days ahead or do a form of meal prep on Sunday and make enough for the week? That seems like a big jug for one drink.
Italian coffee beans are usually borderline burnt, idk if that translates well when you’re not using fresh Italian espresso because it becomes harshly bitter when you let it sit too long.
From what im seeing in the comments, the Italians dont claim this. And science says this is a bad idea. God bless the rational people out there informing people.
You can find several similar versions either made with mock pot or the fact that coffee granita made like this (usually with sugar) is popular in the south. As well as shakerato and similar versions akin to the Greek espresso Fredo. You also see this professional settings in a ‘slushy’ machine. Again. Usually diluted, and sweetened. Italians are synonymous with gatekeeping, whether it be coffee and food. That their one Version from their village is the only way. What science backs this up? There are so many tempered glass bottles you can buy. It’s an interesting case study on behavior that people lean towards faceless comments as truth rather than what’s posted.
Hear me out guys, and this won’t work for everyone: freeze the espresso into ice cubes, then (and this is why it won’t work for everyone) dump the cubes & fresh espresso into a metal cocktail shaker to mix it all up

I was wondering how it didn't shatter.
If you use thinner-walled glass bottles, the heat difference bends the glass instead of shattering it. A thicker-walled glass bottle would shatter
@@BentleyGadgetevolution
not all glass will shatter under changing temps, probably made from a stronger glass that can withhold the differences
This isn't the year 1880. If you have a thick glass container used to transport goods, you could drop it out of a window and it won't shatter

Ohhhh I need to try this! I love straight espresso but idk how this could be any kind of iced coffee since it's frozen and it's espresso.
Does this mean I need to plan my drinks days ahead or do a form of meal prep on Sunday and make enough for the week? That seems like a big jug for one drink.
Yo, that looks amazing!!
So, almost a dozen shots of espresso? Helth 💯
The fact that this is that full of strictly espresso is truly wild 😆
I love an iced long black so I'll have to give this a try!
Another coffee treat to try!!
Italian coffee beans are usually borderline burnt, idk if that translates well when you’re not using fresh Italian espresso because it becomes harshly bitter when you let it sit too long.
Italian iced coffee; espresso slushee, chilled with more espresso.
American iced coffee; coffee milkshake.
From what im seeing in the comments, the Italians dont claim this. And science says this is a bad idea. God bless the rational people out there informing people.
You can find several similar versions either made with mock pot or the fact that coffee granita made like this (usually with sugar) is popular in the south. As well as shakerato and similar versions akin to the Greek espresso Fredo. You also see this professional settings in a ‘slushy’ machine. Again. Usually diluted, and sweetened.
Italians are synonymous with gatekeeping, whether it be coffee and food. That their one Version from their village is the only way.
What science backs this up? There are so many tempered glass bottles you can buy.
It’s an interesting case study on behavior that people lean towards faceless comments as truth rather than what’s posted.
Damn that's science and art
Freeze in ice cube trays.
Put in blender.
No chance of shattering.
Strangely that sounds good
Hear me out guys, and this won’t work for everyone: freeze the espresso into ice cubes, then (and this is why it won’t work for everyone) dump the cubes & fresh espresso into a metal cocktail shaker to mix it all up
I would be tempted to drink it all in one sitting
Mother of god I feel like I could fly to Saturn with the amount of caffeine in this
I damn near thought I was hearing Bandit talking to us on how to make an Italian Iced Coffee
As Italian, never did, seen or heard about this in my entire life
Then you may need to get out more. So many places serve this drink. It’s not done this way, but done in a slushy machine. Live a little
