Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Briki

    Take a small pot called a briki, which is traditionally used to brew Greek coffee.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add 150 ml of cold water to the briki. Then, add 2 tablespoons of Greek coffee grounds.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar (Optional)

    If you desire sweet coffee, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the briki. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.

  4. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    Stir the mixture well to combine the coffee grounds and sugar with the water before heating.

  5. 5

    Heat the Briki

    Place the briki on low heat. Allow the coffee to warm slowly to prevent it from boiling.

  6. 6

    Watch for Foam

    As the coffee heats, it will begin to foam. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflowing.

  7. 7

    Remove from Heat

    Once the coffee foams and is about to overflow, remove the briki from the heat. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Pour the coffee into a small cup, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom. Enjoy your rich and strong Greek coffee!
