Athens Coffee Guide | European Coffee Trip

[@peterbell4190]

Here in Greece drinking coffee is something holy for us :)

[@AlexisRivera]

In our island of enchantment a variety of coffee is produced. You can not miss the cup in the mornings and at all times : ) From: PUERTO RICO

[@kaheldan]

I wished you guys talked more about the coffee, and how their roasting differed from each other.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Cheers! That would be quite nice but we have usually limited time to make these videos and roasting is rather a complex thing. We will try in the future.

[@alexlazaridisf.7276]

Yes, I enjoyed the video but would enjoy 1 video per coffee shop!

[@josecmatalca]

Gracias por compartir sus vídeos, son geniales!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you!!

[@errantedenod]

Great channel!!! I want to taste all those coffees.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you, hope you will have a chance to taste them:) Check also our website and Instagram for the latest updates.

[@nikid5568]

You could have shown each shop's signature coffee or at least what they offer. This video was most suited for interior design. You must visit Greece again

[@sidbokhani3427]

I like this one

[@footvolley.athens]

You missed one of the most amazing coffee shops, guys! "2 goulies and 2 mpoukies". Nikos and Tânia are well known baristas from Creta that have been competing many years in national and international events. Really friendly atmosphere and socking consistency in their daily espresso shots. 😉

[@keithpp1]

Correct, except Nikos prepares the food and Tânia brews the coffee. Closes early for Athens, and when closed, will not find. Sadly the video highlights lack of knowledge of Athens coffee scene. Cannot explore Athens within a couple of days. Nor drive everywhere. Walk, everywhere within walking distance in the centre. And on a wet cool day, take the Metro and visit Mind the Cup. medium.com/the-little-bicycle-coffee-shop/standart-guide-to-athens-coffee-culture-810c2b1e705

Very Interisring

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you!

[@paulcaswell2813]

Oh for more of the real Greek coffee - the total reverse of Expresso for simplicity. At home (in Britain) it's the only coffee I drink. I was taught out in Greece - one of the best things I ever did!

[@MSDeliQuent]

and only thing you need for that is a powdered coffee, like a dust, and ibrik, a lot of sugar and cinamon

[@sandeepshiwakotee3704]

Guys, i lov all of ur videos.. all love from nepal.. hope to see u soon

It is really just coffee and ice (+ sugar if you want) .

[@keithpp1]

@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip No way sugar. Need correct size glass. Freddo espresso not as simple as looks.

[@Mahyuddin-cf]

Have you try coffee from my region?

[@biomanization]

Too much ruining around. I would have more liked it if you settled in, spoke with the Baristas, and understood their individual styles and tastes.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks for a valuable feedback!

[@keithpp1]

Agreed. Too little time in any one coffee shop and gives no impression of the coffee shop, a couple days insufficient time to visit coffee shops let alone Athens, and in Athens walk or catch the Metro. If anything video sadly highlighted lack of understanding of Athens coffee scene.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

@@keithpp1 stop complaining. When YOU spend your own money going around the world to see coffees, and YOU spend your own money up loading and editing video to put on KZbin, THEN You can give criticism and complain. My only question is- What DOES YOUR video look like? Where did YOU go to bring world wide info to others living rooms and kitchens? ☕ Ass. M. Illinois. 🇺🇸

do vienna

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

It’s on the list for this year. Stay tuned!

[@Dscrl-]

Nothing about the taste, just showing the brands 👎

[@keithpp1]

No, not showing brands. The coffee shops visited would be insulted if referred to as brands. They are coffee shops where they take a great pride in what they serve. Exceptions Samba and Coffee Island. Samba at best mediocre coffee, Coffee Island the Greek Starbucks.

[@quaxenleaf]

Just places...in rapid succession but nothing special about any particular coffee.

Nice Turkish Coffe

[@didiloveu2]

Sure dude...... in Turkey !

[@kendallnicol3338]

And it is not Turkish. It is Arabs' invention.

[@bravestar7]

Coffe culture came to Athens from turkey otherwise Greek people like alcoholic drink . culturally this poor European country look like turkey.

[@lastmountpit]

Yes, coffee wasn't popular in Greece until recently (after WWI). People would drink shots of alcoholic drinks (tsipouro, raki) in the morning or during their lunch break. Coffee culture came to Greece with the Greek refugees from Mikra Asia and Pontos. Greek coffee though, is grinded and brewed differently from turkish coffee, because people here were using flour grinders to grind it, so it's much finer than the already fine Turkish coffee. Explosion in popularity of coffee in Greece however, happened when instant iced coffee started getting served. That transformed into today's freddo espresso and freddo capuccino, during the third wave coffee movement. Cultural wise, for sure Greeks are a lot like Turks but also a lot not alike and that's because they both are religion heavy countries and their respective religions are very much apart. Greeks were influenced by the Turks during the turkish occupation but that went the other way as much as. The difference between the west coast turkish cities and people versus the eastern ones is a proof.

[@stayhungrytiz2762]

It seems there are so many nice coffee shops in Athens. Great video, guys!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

There are even more of them now.

[@Mukawakadoodoo]

@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip i wonder how many of them survived the pandemic

[@gamatoutsikos]

@@Mukawakadoodoo probably more than the average in other countries. Coffee culture is strong in Greece and they won't sacrifice the joy. Take out works a lot too so during lockdown they were going strong

[@Mukawakadoodoo]

@@gamatoutsikos that’s awesome to know. I’m planning a trip with the mrs to Greece and would love to stop by some of these shops. The best coffee I’ve had so far was in india.

​@@Mukawakadoodoo during the quarantine coffee shops still worked for take away coffee or delivery so they had work like normal

[@chachofg]

i am spanish , but the best barist in europe are the greeks , I was surprised by the number of different ways they have to prepare the coffees .

[@georgesduroy410]

We drink so much coffee... from babies.... all day.... all stages of life... and, in terms of taste and history, we stand in the middle between West and East, and with a food palate that goes thousand of years back. The only enemy is contemporary neoliberal capitalism, its new spreading market culture and aesthetics... It homogenises and - at the same time - kills everything.... Resist and pick the good from the bad from what you see.

[@aokiaoki4238]

We are addicted to coffee. We re like junkies making drugs

[@kendallnicol3338]

A good coffee makes my day.

That is a Greek style 👍🏼

[@mrxyz2k]

Actually if pronounced Qahwa as it written, that’s the Arabic name for Coffee.

[@MSDeliQuent]

I miss the mornings with greek coffee. This is my tradition, 3x coffee a day, at least, and depends on the part of the day, the cold or the hot one. Frappe, cold brew, freddo, "greek coffee"....

I am from Greece γεια σας

[@oposkainaxei]

What‘s his problem with articles? Why don‘t he use them?

[@tsoliaspn354]

Can you please review and propose good Coffee Cups that support Freddo drinks? Meaning: - Supports straw - Keeps the drink ice cold - Supports moving of the drink without spillage risk

[@MSDeliQuent]

You mean almost every glass that is with double bottom and walls? :) because this is what you are looking for and it will cost you no more than 10 euro per pair of them? :)

[@DimitrisDimopoulos.]

Forget the taresso ! One of the best in Greece

[@keithpp1]

I agree taresso, one of the best coffee shops in Athens. They spent too little time in Athens and showed little understanding of the coffee scene in Athens. Coffee Island, the Greek Starbucks, no one who loves coffee would would be seen dead in Coffee Island, any more than they would visit Starbucks or Coffee Berry (another Greek Starbucks).

[@DimitrisDimopoulos.]

@@keithpp1 Exactly ... But I can't judge them , because Athens is one of the best cities in the world to drink coffee . There are thousands of coffee shops with very good coffee quality !

[@keithpp1]

@@DimitrisDimopoulos. No, there are not thousands of coffee shops in Athens with good coffee, maybe with bad coffee. A couple of years ago maybe half a dozen worth visiting, last year over a dozen. medium.com/the-little-bicycle-coffee-shop/standart-guide-to-athens-coffee-culture-810c2b1e705

Haha Sean! It is true that some of our days are full of coffee (not all of them. Beer does help in these situations to neutralise a bit!
