Greek coffee recipe. How to make the best Greek coffee!

What is Briki?

• A Briki is a small metal pot, usually of copper, with a long metal handle, used for preparing Turkish, Arabic, or Greek-style coffee. Arabic name ibrik, Greek name briki. The word of origin is jazwa, a burning log, which was used to heat the pot.
• First, it is best to buy a copper briki, the smallest size you can find preferably. This will help to cook the coffee in a better way. If your briki is not copper or is large, then you will not get the best results.
• Although the best Greek coffee is made on the embers of the fire, it’s a little difficult to have such an item at home. Therefore, a portable gas burner (unless you have a gas top cooktop. However, a small gas burner is preferable).
• How to make Greek coffee
• Put a cup of water in your briki, or two if it’s double coffee and so on. Your measuring water guide will be the coffee cup you will be drinking from.
• Water should be at room temperature (not too cold and not too hot). Put the briki on the burner and turn it on ( low flame). When the water starts to warm up, put 2 teaspoons full of Greek coffee (for single coffee) and the sugar you want (2 teaspoons for sweet, 1 for medium or none for no sugar).
• Now pay attention. Do not rush it, boil it on low heat (good coffee is made with love and attention).
• Mix well only at the beginning and while boiling do not mix it again.
• Allow it to boil until you see it started frothing on top. but be careful here, remove the briki just when the coffee goes to make the first boiled bubbles.
• IMPORTANT: Do not let it get to boiling point completely.
