- 1 cup of water
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar
- 3 heaping teaspoons Greek coffee
Important note
Preparing Greek coffee requires the use of a specific type of pot called a briki, pronounced "bree-kee" (see pictures below). It also requires a specific coffee grind, which is much finer than standard drip coffee. These are often carried by specialty import stores and are widely distributed by on-line retailers.

Preparation
- Pour the water into the pot
- Heat over medium heat
- While the water is heating
- Add the coffee and sugar and stir
- Once the sugar and coffee have dissolved into the water, stop stirring
- As soon as the coffee begins to boil, remove from the heat
- Your coffee is ready to be served. When serving, slowly pour a little in each cup first and then top each one off. This allows for the foam that develops at the top of the coffee during the boiling process to be evenly distributed between the cups
- Let the coffee sit for 5 minutes after serving, in order for the coffee grinds to settle at the bottom of the cup. This sediment should be left at the bottom of the cup when finished with your coffee
