Greek Coffee

Discover the timeless tradition of authentic Greek coffee

Rich, bold and deeply aromatic, Greek coffee is more than just a drink — it’s a ritual, a moment to savour and a connection to centuries of tradition. Brewed in a traditional Greek coffee pot (briki) and served in small coffee cups, this unfiltered coffee is known for its signature creamy foam (kaïmaki) and robust flavour.

FAQs

Is Greek coffee stronger than espresso?

Greek coffee has a bold, intense flavour but contains less caffeine than espresso due to its slow brewing process and unfiltered nature. It is strong in taste but not as highly concentrated in caffeine as an espresso shot. 

For a truly caffeine-free option, Greek decaf coffee offers the same rich flavour and traditional brewing experience — just without the buzz.

What is the difference between Greek coffee and Turkish coffee?

Greek coffee and Turkish coffee are both strong, finely ground brews made in a small pot. The key difference is in the brewing method and serving style:

• Greek coffee is typically roasted lighter for a smoother, nuttier flavour and brewed in a pot with a wider opening, allowing for a thicker foam layer.
• Turkish coffee is often brewed in a narrow-necked pot (cezve), trapping more foam inside, which is not always served with the coffee itself. Turkish coffee sometimes includes spices like cinnamon.

Do you put milk in Greek coffee?

No, it is traditionally served black, without milk. Instead, sugar is added during brewing to achieve different levels of sweetness: sketos (unsweetened), metrios (medium-sweet), glykos (sweet) and vary glykos (extra-sweet).

However, if you prefer a creamier option, you can enjoy a Greek coffee frappe, which is typically served with or without milk, depending on personal preference. A Greek frappe is made with instant coffee, shaken or blended to create a frothy texture and can be customised with milk for a smoother taste.
