But the return of iced coffee also comes with the return of the uneasy feeling that you're being swindled each time you order one. Mazagran, a cold sweetened coffee drink that originated in Algeria, is often credited as the first iced coffee. Iced coffee in its plastic-cupped western form originated in what's referred to as the second wave of coffee, which began in the 1970s. The amount of cold-brew iced coffee you get from one bag of beans is significantly less than what you would get if you used it for automatic drip hot coffee. Just because there's no frothed milk or latte art doesn't mean any less effort is going into your iced coffee.
