World Coffee experience traditional Greek Coffee

I recently went on vacation to RODOS, which is closest to Turkey in Greece, which is a small island with a strong European flavor. In addition to the ancient medieval castles, Knights Street and the charming Butterfly Valley, I was attracted by a traditional coffee.

I stayed in a three-star hotel called AGLA HOTEL, which was small but full of breakfast. The waiter offered a pot of coffee or English black tea with a warm attitude, but there was such a table on the side of the restaurant.

The wall next to it is written in Greek and English:

At first, I didn't know how to operate it, and I was very curious, so I chose a nearby seat for breakfast, but finally an older guest started to make it, and I watched carefully.

This is a coffee heating stove. The red light turns on and off, indicating that the furnace is being heated.

There is an inch of fine sand in the furnace, which is always kept at a certain temperature.

Put the coffee powder in the bottle on the table with two tablespoons into the copper pot, then pour the water next to it into the copper pot, half the amount, then boil the copper pot in the hot sand, often carrying the copper pot to move in the sand, so that the different sides of the copper pot can be warmed, in about 5-7 minutes, the pot begins to foam, but will not spill, so that the coffee is ready.

Pour the coffee from the copper pot into the coffee cup. the stainless steel container on the table is white granulated sugar, sugar and milk. A cup of do-it-yourself traditional Greek coffee is done!

The next day, when I saw that I was in production, a few elderly Westerners were curious and asked me what to do. How do you like it? When I told them, I found that they were also very interested in experiencing it. I thought only those of us who were not familiar with the history and culture of coffee had never seen coffee making in this way, but they told me that they had never seen coffee made in this way. I think there must have been several people sitting together in ancient times, each with a small copper pot and several copper pots burning together in the sand, burning and chatting at the same time. This is the traditional Greek coffee culture. Maybe there are a large number of world-famous philosophers, thinkers and scientists in ancient Greece, which has something to do with this coffee-making process? Haha, it's too far. When there were philosophers in ancient Greece, coffee hadn't been discovered yet.
