Redefining Iced Coffee with Nespresso Professional

In Greece, iced coffee isn’t just a summer ritual—it’s a year-round lifestyle. Whether it’s the depths of winter or the peak of summer heat, a Freddo Espresso or Freddo Cappuccino is a staple in hand—at the office, during a walk, or en route to work. The country’s deep-rooted iced coffee culture defies seasonal trends and reflects how Greeks live, socialize, and recharge daily.

That said, summer brings a renewed momentum to this relationship. With rising temperatures and the tourism season in full swing, demand for cold coffee beverages skyrockets. From beach bars and hotel lounges to restaurant courtyards and urban cafés, hospitality businesses turn to modern solutions to meet the needs of a clientele that knows what it wants: consistency and quality in every sip.

This is where Nespresso Professional steps in. For hospitality and foodservice professionals facing heightened seasonal demand, the challenge isn’t just volume—it’s delivering excellence at scale. Nespresso Professional offers an answer with its automated coffee machines—Zenius, Momento, and Aguila—which guarantee consistency, speed, and the ability to produce cold drinks and creative recipes at the touch of a button.

During summer in particular, the iced coffee experience is elevated by blends specially crafted to perform over ice. Take Ice Intenso, for instance—a robust, roasted coffee designed to maintain full flavor and structure when chilled.

Then there’s India, a bold, spicy blend perfect for iced espressos with character, or Ristretto, known for its rich and lingering finish, ideal for more complex creations and coffee cocktails. For those seeking intensity and depth, Ristretto Intenso delivers a creamy, powerful base—even in the simplicity of a classic Freddo.

And for those who prefer to skip the caffeine without compromising on taste, Amaretti Decaffeinato, with its almond and biscuit notes, is a standout choice for cooling, full-flavored recipes.

Such a wide range of options translates into countless creative combinations. From the bold punch of a Freddo Espresso to the smooth foam of a Freddo Cappuccino, the options are many.

This season also favors more adventurous takes on coffee. Coffee cocktails are growing in popularity, offering a sophisticated twist to summer refreshment. Nespresso Professional has developed a series of inspired recipes—from the Nespresso Martini and Nespresso Tonic to the refined Sour Mulata and the fragrant, alcohol-free Ice Intenso Citrus Cooler. Each drink is crafted with carefully selected coffees and ingredients to showcase coffee as the star of any cocktail menu.

What makes these recipes truly stand out is not just their flavor profile, but the ease of preparation. Being able to deliver high-quality coffee drinks quickly and reliably is a strategic advantage for businesses looking to innovate with confidence.

Let’s not forget that through its capsule recycling program and zero-waste approach, Nespresso Professional ensures that coffee enjoyment can go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility—an increasingly important factor in high-traffic tourist destinations.

As hospitality and F&B businesses gear up for the summer season, placing exceptional coffee at the center of the customer experience is no longer a luxury—it’s a key differentiator. With its range of professional equipment, curated blends, and signature recipes, Nespresso Professional offers a comprehensive solution tailored to the market’s evolving needs: quality, ease, and innovation.
