What is Greek coffee??? ....Greek coffee is similar to Turkish coffee and other coffees in the region, such as Armenia, Cyprus, Serbia and Bosnia (it made its way to Greece during the Ottoman occupation). For Greek coffee the beans are roasted at a specific temperature and ground down into a fine powder. Greek coffee is boiled, rather than brewed. How do you make Greek coffee??? ....Greek coffee is made in a tall, narrow coffee pot called a briki, which is used to heat water, ground Greek coffee and sugar on a stove. The general rule is to use one teaspoon of sugar for each teaspoon of ground coffee unless you prefer it without sugar (in which case omit), or for a sweeter version add more sugar. The coffee pot (briki) is then put on the stove over a low heat. Once the coffee starts to foam, remove from heat, let the bubbles disappear and then heat again. When it foams again, it is ready. Pour it into a cup and add milk if you prefer, though the best way to enjoy Greek coffee is black and sweet.
