Also known as Turkish coffee, Greek coffee (Ellinikos kafes<\/em>) is made by boiling finely ground coffee beans. Like Turkish coffee, it is unfiltered, and one of the simplest coffees to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Greek Coffee<\/strong>

What you’ll need:<\/em>

Greek coffee pot (briki)
Freshly roasted coffee
Conical burr or Greek coffee grinder

To make, begin by grinding freshly roasted coffee beans into an extra-fine powder the coarseness of talc. (To achieve this fine grind, you’ll need either a traditional Greek coffee grinder or a conical burr grinder.) Next, fill the briki 2\/3 full and add the recommended amount of ground coffee; for thicker foam, add a little more coffee than needed. Heat the briki, and watch as the boiling water bubbles through the coffee grounds; remove from heat when the water begins to foam. Let coffee settle, then bring back to a boil twice more, allowing it to settle between each boil.

Greek coffee can be made in four different ways:

Sketos: Strong and bitter, without sugar
Metrios: Medium strength, with a teaspoon of sugar
Glykys or Vari Glykos: Medium strength and honey-sweet
Glykys Vrastos: Sweetened, but boiled more than once to lose its froth

Serving Greek Coffee<\/strong>

Traditionally, Greek coffee is served in demitasse cups or decorative discs, and paired with dessert cookies like koulourakia, baklava, or halva.

With the proper equipment and coffee beans, you can enjoy a strong, sweet cup of Greek coffee from the comfort of home. Or, present it as a coffee gift with an\u00a0international<\/a>\u00a0flair by creating a custom\u00a0coffee gift basket<\/a>\u00a0complete with a briki, Greek grinder, and pound of freshly roasted Greek coffee beans.
