It's strong with a thick crema which means preserves the aroma. We call the weak coffee with a lot of water in it "wash up".Quote:

Been going to one lately because I've been making my own gyro meat (really an American meat loaf with a mixture of beef, lamb, and Greek spices[emoji1787]). Haven't had Turkish coffee in a long time and it sounds great.Quote:

Coffee originated in Yemen, from there many people took it, including the Byzantine Greeks. By the fall of Constantinople in 1453 there were 500-700 coffee shops in Byzantium.Quote:

Don't forget, they are a people without an ancient history, they were nomads and wherever they went, they saw and copied things. They copied this technique of boiling coffee from the Persians.
The turkish coffee is single, lighter and in a different cup, it has herbs in it and is more aromatic, e.g. cardamom.
The Greek one is single or double, stronger in flavour, differently roasted and more finely chopped, it's served in different cup.
The one i drink is a blend from Coffee island, is 70% arabica and 30% robusta although sometimes i choose 80% arabica and 20% robusta from Brazil, India and Ethiopia.
The procedure is as follows: you put exactly the amount of tap water you want in the briki (coffee pot from Cooper), pour the sugar first and then the coffee, NEVER the other way around!
You wait a few minutes for the coffee to sink and drag the sugar down with it. You turn the heat (preferably gas) to very low, wait a bit and with the special spoon you stir many times, around 40 left-right and then another 40 right-left.
You let the mixture settle and wait for it to boil, depending on whether you want a strong flavour or more aroma, you take it out when the cream reaches the top or the end of briki rim, this point requires great attention. Also you have to pay attention the distance between the briki and the cup, short means no bubbles so thicker crema (stronger) and higher means bubbles thinner crema (more aroma), some people tap the briki lightly on the kitchen-bench to settle the cream some not. you empty from briki to cup gently so you won't spill anything.
Depending from the single or double, the quantity of the coffee-sugar and the boiling method some of the most well-known variations of the Greek are the following: plain light boiled, plain boiled, plain heavy. Slightly boiled, slightly heavy, slightly light. Moderately boiled, moderately light, moderately heavy, Yes and no boiled, yes and no heavy. Sweet boiled, heavy sweet, many sweet boiled, many heavy sweet, many heavy half.
Back in the good old days especially in villages-small towns the Cafe owner knew them all, nowadays it's impossible and things are more simple.
This weekend’s smokes.

Sunday Afternoon smoke.
My Fathers "New Blend" Vegas Cubanas 5.5x44.
Wrapper (I think) Habano Rosafdo.
This was a gifted cigar, second time get one of the New "green" Vega Cubanas.
Did not like this cigar before, still don't...May be fine, but not for Me.
Anyway despite Wind caused two touch ups of uneven burns, the Cigar did burn well. Good construction, neither too firm nor too soft.
