Loumidis Papagalos Greek Coffee | Traditional Classic Roast | 16oz

Since 1920, the green parrot on the bag has meant one thing to Greeks everywhere: it's time for coffee. Loumidis Papagalos is Greece's most iconic coffee brand — a classic roast that has been brewed in Greek homes, kafeneions, and kitchens for over a century. The name means "parrot" in Greek, and the distinctive green-and-red packaging is as recognizable in Athens as the Acropolis. This is not espresso. This is not filter coffee. This is Greek coffee — finely ground, brewed slowly in a small copper or stainless briki, and served in a small cup with the grounds settled at the bottom. It is a ritual as much as a beverage. How to Brew Greek Coffee Add cold water to your briki (small Greek coffee pot) — one demitasse cup per serving Add 1 heaped teaspoon of Papagalos coffee per cup Add sugar to taste: sketos (no sugar), metrios (one spoon), or glykos (sweet) Stir to combine, then place over low heat Watch carefully — as the coffee heats, a foam (kaimaki) will form on top. Remove from heat just before it boils over. Pour slowly into your cup, preserving the kaimaki. Wait 2 minutes for grounds to settle. Sip slowly.
