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 😞
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. ❤️ 🇨🇦 🇬🇷
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
GREEK COFFEE IS THE BEST COFFEE EVER!!! I LOVE THIS COFFEE AND I DRINK A BIG CUP OF THIS COFFEE EVERY MORNING!!! ΜΟΛΙΣ ΕΚΑΝΑ ΕΓΓΡΑΦΗ ΣΤΟ ΚΑΝΑΛΙ ΣΟΥ, ΕΙΣΑΙ ΦΑΝΤΑΣΤΙΚΗ, ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΣΟΥ!!! ΚΑΛΗΝΥΧΤΑ ΑΠΟ ΚΥΠΡΟ!!! GOOD NIGHT FROM CYPRUS!!!
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!
Καλησπέρα Διμιτρα ..I had my Greek coffee “metrios” but I use brown sugar like 1/8 of a tea spoon ... I’m in Montréal Canada but born in Chania Crete..
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
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 ☹️
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 ❤
I love Greek coffee, i'v also had my coffee grounds read by a elderly γιαγιά. I like my coffee Sketos. I saw on a 4 year old video that you like people to share there photos with you on facebook, is this still the case as I'v a few Greek dishes i'd love to show you.
Thank you for posting this. I will be on Amazon as soon as I am done with this comment. The area I live in does not have any stores that carry it or the little pot.
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❤💐❤
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....
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.
Here's a silly question... Do you turn your cup upside down and read the grounds??? My Kritikia Yiayia used to... I used to drink so much just to get her to read the grounds... (LOL)
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.
@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. 👍
@@robertov1781 Baklava Musakka Cacık Rakı Borek Yoghurt Doner Coffee even all these are Turkish words Greeks just put Kİ to end of these words they even begun to call Turkish delight Greek delight
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.
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.
What happens if you use an ordinary small saucepan? The flames on my stove would come up right around a little briki. And no I'm not getting a specialized little gas stove AND the gas canister and risk blowing up the house just to try it out. How could you even think about such a thing.
I'm not sure if they have it in decaf. It's sold in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern grocery stores. Amazon also has it. Here's the link:amzn.to/3yG7Ove
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?
it's not greek coffee. It's totally turkish coffee. Greeks, armenian, arabs etc. addopted this in ottoman turkish era. Considering this coffee greek is like considering cricket as indian/pakistani sport.
WRONG! You burnt the coffee!! Put it all together and stir it on the counter and then put it on the range and take it off right with it starts to foam but don't let it foam all the way. This is how my Greek yiayia from Greek showed me how to make it.
ok. there is no such thing as greek coffee. It's called turkish coffee. Even in Greece, it was called turkish coffee until the greek junta. After the junta regime, they switched name to greek.
@@DCCrisisclips says the person whose ancestors settled on Hittites, Phrygians, Urartu, Lidia, Trojans and many more.. Tbh, Ottomans ruled today's Greece for 500 years so technically you are settling on Turkish lands xD.
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

Turkish coffee Turkish Baklava turned out to be Greek I'm laughing at this but I still congratulate my Greek friends they are doing good marketing
Love Greek coffee. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Interesting... thanks for explaining.
In Israel the small pot for making coffee is called a finjan (pronounced fin-jun).
Same in turkey
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
I didn't know, I thought it was instant and put 4 spoons in one cup lol.
My mama always said to boil it three times to the top before pouring 🤷♀️
Looks like she boiled it twice as well ☕
I know I will love this ! Thank you. Dimitra !
Real coffee.
I love greek coffee
Beautiful dishes!
My favorite coffee ☕️
From now on I'll try to get and to drunk Greek coffee ☕ 😋 thank you
Ummm! Never had I ever had Greek coffee

Hi Dimitra, would you please add link for briki? Thank you!
Is this an instant granular coffee?
Yummy 👍😀
No sound!!!
Mine doesn’t rise it juts goes straight to boiling after a few mins
Where the link to the pot on Amazon? I'm looking for a good pot to make greek coffoe.

Can you teach us how to make baklava and souvlaki please?
Check her catalogue of videos. She’s done both.
It's instant coffee? Instant.
So the same as turkish koffie
Is the greek coffee grounds used the same as Italian coffee grounds?
Really
I hope I can find this coffee’,I have never seen it anywhere. Does it come in decaf? Where can I get it?
