The Skinny on weight loss

No Starbucks coffee or any other coffee franchise here in Kos Greece. Yet it’s a cold (12 degrees) gray day, and I was in need of a very strong hot cup of coffee! Nothing else to do here basically…

Turkish coffee

Greek coffee, cal it what you want, but it looks like this:

Coffee service here today included a spoon, as much sugar as you want and a glass of water. Normally you can specify your coffee: no sugar, medium sugar (1 teaspoon) or a lot of sugar (that’s exactly how I want my coffee: bitter sweet!, like the weather here…)

This is not an espresso from a coffee machine, but it’s the good old way of coffee making : roasted coffee bean, finely ground, normally cooked in a copper or more recently stainless steel little pot with a good handle to poor your brew (in a few goes) in an espresso cup: coffee grind included.

As far as I asked and understood the waiter: you need 1 to 2 teaspoons of grinded coffee for 250 ml (1 cup) of coffee. I guess mine was with 2 teaspoons of coffee

If you are a true coffee fan, you keep on stirring when you drink your coffee, I prefer to leave the grinded beans in the espresso cup.
