How to Make the Perfect Cup of Greek Coffee

[@illyriumus2938]

I love Turkish /greek coffee but with my personal and some Albanian touches. I actually roast my own coffee at home. I wish you could try this. I use the Ethiopian green beans instead and roast them medium. I also have the old, traditional, brass coffee mill for grinding the coffee. When i make the coffee though, I use milk 😊. It makes a whole difference. I also do not put any sugar. But, right before serving the coffee, i add a teaspoon of honey into the mug and mix it well. This is my morning every day. Reminds me so much of the days when my lovely dad will wake up always before me and bring me a coffee as soon as I got my day started. Lost my dad to Covid in March and my heart hurts every time I get to drink that coffee alone 😞

Why the hell are you varmints have first comment everywhere on these videos. Let me tell you there is no such thing as anything turkish.

Was introduced to Greek coffee by my husband’s family 30 years ago. Never looked back. There is something different about it vs regular coffee. It is richer, creamier and tastier by far. My MIL taught me how to make it right. I drink it every morning. Also great with koulourakia any time. ❤️ 🇨🇦 🇬🇷

[@anitaevans5361]

I love Greek coffee!! It's the one coffee that does not mess with my adrenals the way that regular coffee does. I drink the coffee mud at the bottom, too. I get an even keel zap of energy that's long lasting minus the jitters. It's even calming, I'll enjoy it after dinner.

[@IRKA-3]

I make Turkish coffee everyday in the afternoon....it wakes us up and we have energy. My friend is Greek and she also makes her coffee like mine..same like you. Thanks for sharing..love your videos.

[@mihaelalahav310]

I miss this coffee. Although I am Romanian, my mother use to drink only this kind of coffee which we are calling it black or Turkish coffee. And that little coffee pot in Romanian is called ibric and pronounce it the same like in Greek only without the I at the end. In Romania we have many Greek and Turkish influences, in language, behavior and cooking. I love your cooking channel because is bringing back many memories of dishes from my childhood and the way you are explaining them.

[@dumitavi1]

Why "miss it", when you can make it Mihaela?

[@2greeksandacamera]

BRAVO EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. Yes I too prefer only the Greek coffee , metrios. According to a major research study done back earlier in Greece, the coffee and the afternoon Greek nap is very good for the heart.

[@ishmainiguez2283]

Have you tried Mexican cafe de olla? The Arab influence is very much alive in the recipe. Lemon or orange poked and is put in a pot with water, cloves, cinnamon, brown cane sugar, coffee grounds, boiled strained or not into a cup....there's various version with cardamom, star anise, etc, just Depends on your family😉 Now I can make my turkish friends some Greek coffee 😂

OPA! You taught me with one of your videos several years ago how to add an egg to bechiamella sauce. It has been a wonderful way to enrich the sauce; thank you. Now I am making this delicious coffee. Saludos from México!

Thankyou! That is the easiest demonstration to follow that I've seen yet! I love Greek coffee! Up to now its been hit or miss being it right. But making a single cup at a time makes sense. Thankyou

[@miriammanolov9135]

That's the brand I use !! Sometimes I use Bravo (whatever I can find !) Couple of days ago, I saw an Iraqi chef who did a video using the Greek/Turkish coffee mixed with toasted cardomom and pistachios (he grinded them and added them to the coffee) I tried his trick, but I ended up with tiny bits of pistachios in my coffee ... I'm going to stick with your style ...old school ❤

Dimitra I love everything you cook thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍to answer your question about why American coffee bothers some people digestion is that the American coffee is filtered and not boiled hot enough so you end up drinking the coffee oils and that is too heavy and if you are like me drinking it on empty stomach that is double jeopardy ☹️

It has been years since I have had Greek coffee. Looking forward to another soon. Maybe the difference is the amount of acid.

[@DimitrasDishes]

They still do that in the villages of Crete. SO fun!

[@petermcquitty625]

Real coffee.

[@robertm.-certifieddaytrade4939]

With ALL Due Respect: Best if you add the sugar to the water, let it dissolve then add the coffee; let the coffee naturally sink to the bottom of the pot BEFORE you start stirring! You want to lift and lower the pot on the fire to keep the coffee heating up without it boiling over, simply because sugar starts to turn bitter above 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You begin to stir when a cream-like ring starts to develop on the walls of the saucepan! You know it’s right if a semi-opaque film is seen on the surface of the coffee which is culturally known as creama! Enjoy....

[@tracypap]

Exactly! My pethera (mother-in-law) always told me you need to watch the foam move from the edges to the center. Grab it off the burner before it boils.

[@birdlover8992]

Hi Dimitra💐...I have had Greek coffee in restaurants....now I can try it at home...One question: do you ingest the grounds that settle at the bottom of the cup.....I never know what to do...thank you....GOD bless❤💐❤

[@rakovsky3901]

What's the deal with a "second foaming" when you boil the coffee? This has been too tricky for me in my experience. For instance, am I supposed to boil it, spoon out the foam, then wait until it goes back to room temperature and reboil it? It might just overbubble then. So tricky.

Which kind of coffee beans are used for authentic Greek coffee? Where I live, I can't buy Greek coffee beans, but I can buy all sorts of other coffee beans. If I knew the kind of coffee beans used, I could blend my own.

[@xelakram]

@Zidane Tribal Thank you! That's not a problem then. I have a burr grinder, plenty of Arabica beans and a suitable coffee pot, too. I'll have to try it out. 👍

[@hellenicsunshine7032]

👍 thank you 😍

[@rachelwise148]

Coffee beans are divided by Arabica and Robusta beans. Robusta has twice the amount of caffeine then of Arabica. It is considered less quality, and it has less flavor characteristics then of Arabica beans. Some American coffees do a blend of both, Robusta being less expensive. Sad to say, is a way to cut production costs.

Where the link to the pot on Amazon? I'm looking for a good pot to make greek coffoe.

[@neilcam2001]

Sea salt. Ba at yoga was into health food etc and I told her I was using salty water to rinse my mouth (recommended by Janina) ba said use sea salt. Of course I just kept on using ordinary salt. Then on la Palma , Olivier,also a health freak said there was a place near finca Tierra we where the sea left a puddle in a rock and the sun dried it out and left natural sea salt. And in far south of la Palma where it is still volcanic, they have an actual sea salt farm which I saw when I went to south to see volcanic steam coming from ground etc.

My wife is Greek and you need to gently warm the water. Then add the coffee. Wait until it sinks in and then add the sugar and stir it in. Also that was over boiled. Not trying to be picky but our way is completely different to yours. Maybe it got lost on its way to America?

Dimitra, I've been watching all your videos and appreciate all your effort. I'm so glad that you enjoy this coffee every morning. And I'm also happy that all the recipes you're giving are called as "Greek", ok with that. Most of your videos' titles are full od Turkish descriptives. Turkey and Greece share the whole history, geography and food culture at the Aegean. And even though I can accept "baklava" as Greek (which I personally don't think so), sorry but this coffee is simply TURKISH coffee. The beans are Arabica. The equipment "ibrik" (cezve) is actually Turkish deprived from Persian. How come it is actually Greek? Trying to make it famous as a Greek coffee is just misleading. I just wanted you know that I disagree and invite anyone with the similar questions in their mind read the article below for the history of coffee from Yemen to Ottoman Empire. And the political effects on the Turkish Coffee to get called as "Greek Coffee" in Greece. Hope this explains what I'm trying to say. Best. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coffee
