Greek coffee

soniaP · September 01, 2018, 09:51:46 AM

I don't drink coffee but my daughter's boyfriend really likes and will be his first visit to Arillas next week.

Can anyone recommend the best places to sit and have a greek coffee. Also buyng it in the shop to make yourself - is there any recommendations for a certain type?

Bardis Sun studios - right on your doorstep Sonia!

Just ask for a coffee Sonia but say NOT Nescafe... Greek coffee is very strong and an acquired taste. Once you have tried it you know what REAL coffee tastes like 😀

Hi
With a Metaxa in it, Greek coffee (black) goes down a lot better

If you make it yourself you need a Briki to make it. Also you need greek coffee (obviously!) as it is ground very fine,
you leave it in the cup when drinking it.

here is a link. Just copy and paste.

Funnliy enough Bobby offered me one just as wr were coming home but I opted for two quick Mythos instead 😂

I would have been the same Karl only I would have opted for Retsina.

Hi Sonia,
I'm not sure, we were at Bardis the last 2 weeks in June last year, we were a party of 3, me, hubby & our friend Pauline.
You do look familiar from your profile pic!

Hi -nornally we are there last week in June and first week in Jully but last year we were there last week in July. Maybe we were there at the same time another year.

I love very strong coffee, my favourite being Italian expresso and I very rarely drink instant. However, I'm not a great fan of Greek coffee. Maybe I haven't had a decent one yet but so far I haven't really enjoyed it. It's not down to the strength, I just don't think the taste is brilliant.

Sonia. Don't bother with the coffee. Just get him trained to consume lots of Retsina 😂🤣
