      We drink so much coffee... from babies.... all day.... all stages of life... and, in terms of taste and history, we stand in the middle between West and East, and with a food palate that goes thousand of years back. The only enemy is contemporary neoliberal capitalism, its new spreading market culture and aesthetics... It homogenises and - at the same time - kills everything.... Resist and pick the good from the bad from what you see.

    You missed one of the most amazing coffee shops, guys! "2 goulies and 2 mpoukies". Nikos and Tânia are well known baristas from Creta that have been competing many years in national and international events. Really friendly atmosphere and socking consistency in their daily espresso shots. 😉

    • @keithpp1
      @keithpp1 3 роки тому

      Correct, except Nikos prepares the food and Tânia brews the coffee.
      Closes early for Athens, and when closed, will not find.
      Sadly the video highlights lack of knowledge of Athens coffee scene. Cannot explore Athens within a couple of days. Nor drive everywhere. Walk, everywhere within walking distance in the centre. And on a wet cool day, take the Metro and visit Mind the Cup.

    Coffe culture came to Athens from turkey otherwise Greek people like alcoholic drink . culturally this poor European country look like turkey.

    • @lastmountpit
      @lastmountpit Місяць тому

      Yes, coffee wasn't popular in Greece until recently (after WWI). People would drink shots of alcoholic drinks (tsipouro, raki) in the morning or during their lunch break. Coffee culture came to Greece with the Greek refugees from Mikra Asia and Pontos. Greek coffee though, is grinded and brewed differently from turkish coffee, because people here were using flour grinders to grind it, so it's much finer than the already fine Turkish coffee. Explosion in popularity of coffee in Greece however, happened when instant iced coffee started getting served. That transformed into today's freddo espresso and freddo capuccino, during the third wave coffee movement. Cultural wise, for sure Greeks are a lot like Turks but also a lot not alike and that's because they both are religion heavy countries and their respective religions are very much apart. Greeks were influenced by the Turks during the turkish occupation but that went the other way as much as. The difference between the west coast turkish cities and people versus the eastern ones is a proof.
