The history of this rich in aroma, taste and symbolisms coffee, known as “Turkish” coffee or else “Greek” coffee, starts from Yemen. It is said that Yemen is the first country where this coffee was consumed as a beverage. Soon, this coffee expanded in regions around Yemen and reached the so called then Ottoman Empire. There, a ritual was born, a whole “ceremony” about this coffee serving. This ritual is still alive in our days and seduces everybody who wants to know more about it. The name of this ritual is Ibrik and it is the first method created for brewing coffee, we could say that it is the “ancestor” of all the other brewing methods. The Ibrik method is closely related to Eastern cultures as well as our culture, the Greek culture and is attached to a set of emotions, habits and occasions.
