Greek Coffee
Know more about Greek Coffee first
The world’s first coffee shop opened its doors in 1475 in Constantinople by Greeks under Turkish occupation.
Greek coffee is very similar to Turkish Coffee & Arabic style coffee. The secret to Greek coffee is the roasting and milling process.
Greek Coffee must be roasted light (just before the 1st Crack in roasting terminology) and is left to cool and then milled very finely by a special grinder known as a brass mill grinder. In recent times Greek coffee can be ground be either a pulveriser or special millstone grinders.
Greek coffee is best enjoyed because of its kaimaki (froth). Although Greek coffee is a stronger type of brewed coffee it is still makes for a very enjoyable cup.
The pot used for making a Greek Coffee is called a briki where water, sugar (to taste) and ground Greek coffee is combined and brewed until ready.
The traditional Greek coffee blend is mainly made from coffee beans imported from Brazil. Traditional Greek Villagers also added chickpeas when roasting their coffee beans for added lightness and flavour.
