Product Information

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in Greece today, and Greeks enjoy it at most times of the day. There are literally hundreds of coffee places everywhere around the country, and coffee drinking is a huge part of the Greek culture. What kind of coffee do they drink in Greece? If you prefer a Turkish coffee that’s hassle-free to brew, the Arzum Okka is our choice. The Turkey-based organization is long-established and trusted, having been formed in 1966. The company’s Okka Turkish coffee maker has been on the market since 2014 and is hugely popular in the domestic and international markets. We love the design, too. Espresso and cappuccino, which were invented in Italy at the beginning of the 20th century, are very common throughout Greece. These days, most cafés have Italian espresso machines.

One of the first establishments at the time was the “Bavarian Café”. Commonly known as “Gruner Baum” (Green Tree), it functioned as a multi-purpose coffee shop / beerhouse / restaurant / library / bowling club. It was mostly frequented by King Otto, Bavarian officers and other expats.First of all to make Greek coffee make sure to use cold water. Use the coffee cup to measure the water needed for each cup of coffee, so that you have the right proportions. Also make sure that the heat is medium to low. Ellinikos Kafes” is served with the coffee granules at the bottom of the cup, so give it a little time to rest after serving. And remember to serve with a cold glass of water and to sip slowly while enjoying it’s full aromas and blends! Variations according to proportions of ingredients Add Coffee And SugarAs we mentioned above, Greek coffee has 4 different types depending on the sugar amount. There are conflicting accounts regarding which was the first coffee shop, or kafeneio, in Greece owned by a Greek national. Some people claim that it was founded in Nafplion, the first capital of the Greek state.

If the previous machine is too expensive for you, the Arzum Okka is a more affordable alternative from the same company. With a 15oz capacity, the pot will brew 3-4 cups in one go, so it’s not ideal for large households. However, it is a great size for beginners and will work well if you brew for single-serve use or a few people at a time. A briki, also called a Turkish coffee pot, is small in stature with a long handle. It comes in three sizes of two, four, or six cups. When preparing coffee, you need to make enough according to the size of the pot, e.g., for a four-cup pot, make four cups of coffee. It’s an important factor when the foam is forming, and Grecians love their foam! Sometimes that will involve a greater challenge than actually brewing the coffee but it will be worth it. Conclusion You’ll need to use the correct size Briki, which is dependent on the number of people you’re serving coffee to. When choosing the size of the Briki, it should be able to hold the number of cups you’re serving, plus one.That’s the secret to creating the right amount of foam (kaimaki).Another thing to consider is the experience. If you want the experience to be as authentic as possible for you and your guests, elegant Turkish coffee cups and saucers are vital. Also, if you buy a Turkish coffee set, you may save more money than if you buy each element separately. To serve your Greek coffee, fill half of the first cup. You should fill the second cum completely. After filling the second cup, fill the remaining of the first cup. This will enable a relatively even distribution of kaimaki in both cups. Heat It UpTurn on your heat to medium-low setting and stir the coffee until it dissolves. After it dissolves, don’t stir again. Heat slowly and wait for foam to rise. The richer the foam, the better the coffee.

There are three separate ways to brew Greek coffee. Unsweetened or sketos, sweetened or metreos, and very sweet glykos will determine the amount of sugar the Greek coffee is prepared with. When brewing or sampling your first Greek coffee, you should start with a sweetened version. You will be able to adjust the amount of sugar you use in the future according to taste. Sugar is another thing you’ll need before making Greek coffee. Many people enjoy their coffee with a bit of sweetness, but you don’t need to add sugar to your coffee if you don’t enjoy drinking sweet coffee.First-time travelers to Greece are always surprised by the numbers of locals sitting around at cafés at any time of the day.But what’s the story behind Greece’s most popular pastime? Let’s find out! A brief history of coffee and coffee beans Metrios: Metrios, which is the most popular coffee type in Greece, is semi-sweetened. It is neither too bitter nor too sweet. The Italian word “espresso” is widely used to describe a small shot of coffee with a strong flavor, served in a special cup. The brewing method uses high water pressure and finely ground coffee beans. While filter coffee is available at coffee shops in Greece, it is not among the most popular types of coffee. Unlike traditional Greek coffee or espresso, it is light in flavor, and typically contains less caffeine.

In smaller towns and villages, cafés are often the focal point of the community, where locals go to gather together and discuss the latest community news.
