One of the most important things which the Greek refugees from Smyrna, and indeed all of Asia Minor brought with them to Greece and countries further afar, was a love of good coffee. Greek coffee, in comparison to other types of coffee, is significant for a number of major reasons.
Unlike other kinds of coffee, the beauty of Greek coffee is that no special coffee machine is needed to make it apart from the briki where it is produced, hot plate and, of course, its ingredients. Apart from this, it is also a very versatile coffee, meaning it can be diluted with water to make it less strong for those who prefer a milder version of it, but, at the same time, still maintaining its distinctive taste and texture.
I hope you enjoy watching this video about something which is a family tradition of ours, and, I'm sure, a favourite of many other Greek families, and coffee coinnesseurs, worldwide.
