Equipment

  • Briki
  • Demitasse Cups

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Fine coffee grounds
  • 60 mL Filtered Water
  • 1-3 tsp Sugar (Optional)

Instructions

  • Add the Water: Fill a demitasse cup with cold water and pour it into a briki. Use about 60 mL of water per serving.
  • Add Coffee and Sugar: Place the briki on low heat. Add two heaping teaspoons of finely ground coffee per cup of water. Stir in sugar if desired, then let the mixture heat.
  • Heat the Coffee: Heat the mixture slowly for 4-5 minutes until small bubbles form. Remove from heat when the foam (kaimaki) starts rising, then briefly return to heat to let the foam develop.
  • Pour the Coffee: Pour the coffee into cups, keeping the briki low for thicker foam or slightly higher for less foam. Distribute the foam evenly among the cups.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Let the coffee sit for 3-4 minutes to allow the grounds to settle before drinking. This ensures a smoother experience.
