Has anyone tried Greek coffee(food)

[ShadowsDad]

I've had Turkish coffee which is probably similar. It was good, it was also 50 years ago. The grounds were so fine as to make them consumable and that was the entire point of the cup. There was no way to just drink the liquid.

Do I like Greek food? Absolutely! Or I did. Some of it I can eat today in ketosis.

How does this compare to French Press coffee?

I have never tried Greek coffee and I haven't heard about it. Sounds interesting

Yeah it's good stuff it can be tricky to get it perfect. Traditionally it's supposed to have a foam layer on top which can be difficult to achieve.

So like french press coffee the grounds are brewed more thoroughly than drip. So both are known for being a thicker brew. French press has more caffeine(than drip) id say Greek should also. I enjoy both but I've had some amazing cups made by french press. Then again I haven't mastered Greek coffee making yet. It can be surprisingly tricky.

I believe most of south east Europe make it a similar way. I've heard Armenian, Turkish and Greek are essentially the same process.

I thought that might be the case. I have a Turkish coffee grinder that I use for black pepper because the grind is so fine, perfect for pepper and it really puts out the pepper. If coffee was in it it too would be ground fine. Maybe it can be duplicated with a blender? Anyway, use the coffee you have and grind it ultra fine (blender?) then just pour boiling water on it in a cup and other than nuances you pretty much have it. Everything in the cup gets consumed, coffee beans and all. BTW, the real deal cup is pretty tiny. It should be thick from the ground coffee and if you can drink "coffee" without drinking the grounds you used too much water. FWIW, I only had one cup of it but that's what I remember. It was different, but not bad. The grounds need to be exceedingly fine. I hope I got that across. I have a grinder that I use for flour, but an alternate use for it is coffee. Yeah, that fine a grind.

There is a key difference between Turkish coffee and other coffees in the broad region (Greek, Arab): Turkish coffee is brewed with sugar in the cezve, whereas elsewhere, sugar is added after brewing/pouring. Either way, it's a fun drink.
