Γεια σου Ορέστη, hello Orestis, yes I've read the book. It was called Turkish coffee also in Greece till some decades ago, the name was turned to "Greek" coffee after the "troubles" with the Greek population of Istanbul in the 50's - 60's, as a "revenge". I remember, as a child, people still ordering a "Turkish" coffee in the coffee shops...Good Friday to you too Χρήστο!
Love you call it Turkish, as it is Turkish :D No doubt you've read Η. Πετροπουλος "Ο Τουρκικος Καφες εν Ελλαδι"?
Indeed, in fact most open-minded people still call it Turkish (as it's also called in the Balkans!), Arabic coffee is somewhat different, mostly because it includes spices such as cardamom, eucalyptus bark etc.Γεια σου Ορέστη, hello Orestis, yes I've read the book.

Merry Christmas to all.
