Papagalos Loumidis Traditional Greek Coffee (Ground)

Papagalos Loumidis Greek Coffee is made using the finest roasted Greek coffee beans ground into a fine powder: yielding a bold full-bodied flavour and texture essential for this classic brew.

Unlike American filtered drip coffee or Italian Espresso, you’ll need a small narrow necked coffee pot called a “Briki” to make Papagalos Loumidis Greek Coffee.

The preparation involves gently boiling the coffee with cold water – adding sugar and ground cardamom or cardamom pods, if wanted – until it comes to a foam. The foam is an essential part of this special brew, as are the coffee grinds that should sink to the bottom of the demitasse-sized cup before drinking. Never stir before drinking and never add milk. Wait a couple of minutes and then savour the taste of Greece with family and friends.

If you’re a coffee lover and have never experienced the distinct pleasure of traditional “Greek Coffee,” you’re in for a major treat! For many centuries, drinking strong unfiltered coffee has been part of daily life, ritual and culture in Greece and in much of the Mediterranean and Middle East.
