What is Greek Coffee?

The Greek people have a long History in coffee. More specifically Europe’s first coffee shop opened in 1475 by Greek people in Constantinople, the ex-capital of the Byzantine Empire, soon after the occupation by the Turks. That was followed by the establishment of more coffee houses in Constantinople, all of them specializing in preparing and selling Greek Coffee. The trend soon spread to the entire Greece and continues up to today.

The Greeks continue to prepare and savior the same recipe, although enriched with new flavors of Coffee Beans, (mostly from Brazil and other Latin America countries) up to the present day. The making of traditional Greek coffee is a secret of professional producer’s that keep antagonizing each other for the preparation of the best blends and flavors.

Greek coffee is best prepared in a traditional brass pot with a narrow neck, which helps building up froth and enhances the flavor. Ready to consume Greek Coffee is a strong brew, served with froth on top and the coffee grounds in the bottom of the cup. Although it can be served in larger cups, the traditional small cup is best because it allows the proper amount of froth, which adds to the unique taste.

Greek coffee can be enjoyed bitter (sketos), semi-sweet (metrios) or Sweet (glykos).

For all Greeks, preparing and drinking Greek coffee is a ritual-like process.

Greek Coffee is a health enhancing beverage. More specifically several scientific studies have found Greek Coffee to be more beneficial than other types of Coffee (e.g. filter, espresso) for the human health (especially for the cardio-vascular system) and enhance life longevity.
