MURCIA - The question many people ask, how many ice cubes should be in a 'café con heelo' or coffee with ice cubes in Spain. Many may not know this form of coffee drinking, but others swear by it in the summer. But there has been a discussion for years about how many ice cubes a 'café con heelo' should have now.
Many Spaniards still swear by the traditional café con heelo (coffee with ice cream). By default, this coffee consists of a café solo (espresso) that has a little more coffee than usual. A glass with ice cubes is served along with the coffee. There are also readers who prefer to drink a cortado with ice (or even a carajillo) but the original is the espresso or café solo.
If one drinks sugar in the coffee, it must first be put in the coffee and stirred before the coffee is poured into the glass with ice. There are variants such as in the Comunidad Valenciana where a slice of lemon is put in the glass and it is called "cafe del tiempo".

The rule throughout Spain is basically two ice cubes, but in the Murcia region people prefer to drink this cold coffee with an ice cube, while the inhabitants of Navarra prefer to drink the café con heelo with three cubes.
In general, most study participants indicate that they prefer to drink a café con heelo with two ice cubes (47.6%) followed by one ice cube (22.6%) and three ice cubes (21.3%).
