Oh man, sounds like that barista didn’t know that caffé freddo is absolutely legit.
Now if the customer had asked for Velveeta swirled into that espresso (circles back to original topic), LOL.

There are so many takes on Caffe Freddo, too, depending on where you are (Italy, Greece , Canada, the States). The espresso-based Freddo in a tall glass was a trendy alternative to the Greek Nescafé Frappe in Greece a while back, so then Greek coffee shops in Toronto started offering Freddos, which were different from Italian coffee shop in Toronto Freddos…

In late 70s Italy, caffe freddo was a standard. Bars slung the used grounds from espressos into a 5 gallon bucket, added water and let molder overnight. Strain, sweeten and prego.

Ah, okay, @pilgrim. I haven’t had that type.
The Greek Caffe Freddo is a different beast, born in the 90s. Made with fresh espresso.

Probably a touch of each. “Boys will be boys.” Yeah, I got a jail full of those boys.
