Hi Jeff,

Was that Turkish style coffee? (ground very fine, boiled lightly in a
small pot, served in a small cup.) I've tried to reproduce this on my
own but its never palatable. I suppose I'll have to go to Greece or
Turkey to sample it made properly.

Yes, the product is the same whether it be Greek or Turkish. At the
risk of being flamed in enternity by a legion of irate Greeks who
still remember bitterly the Turkish atrocities of the '23 war and
neglect to remember their equally horrific misdeeds of that same war,
much of what is so proudly kept as their culture today actually comes
from the Turks. All my relatives and 95% of the Greek population of
Australia would deem this statement sufficient to warrant my sudden
demise - I'm very serious. You should be aware that Crete in
particular, where my family originate from, was Turkish until 1912.
That famed Greek national dish - mousaka - is Seljuk Turkish in origin
in both the recipe and the word. Essentially the food is pretty much
the same apart from the more devout Turks not eating pork. Same with
the coffee. In fact, in Sydney, most Greek homes I have visited use
packets branded in Turkish.

You obviously like your coffee. In Australia and New Zealand we can
buy at a reasonable price, Espresso coffee machines that come standard
with a steam attachment for heating and frothing the milk for
cappucino. I don't mean the one I have on the boat in which the finely
ground coffee is but in a sealed sieve like funnel in between the
water which is heated to greated than boiling point which then erupts
through the funnel up into the top receptacle (I'd make a lousy
technical writer). I mean smaller versions of the cafe type that pump
the water to pressurise it. - I wrote all of these words so that I
could ask if these are not available in the land of the free.
