Turkish coffee and Cyprus coffee are the same thing?
where is it from originally? i just wonder why the same beverage goes by 2 different names. it's not like it's Greek coffee and Turkish coffee.... if it's the same thing, than why not just pick one name for it.

and that also reminds me of something my GC told me once. he didn't know what a lime was, and said the GCs called them "green lemons." is this true? this also makes no sense to me. too many syllables to say "green lemons" when one could easily just say "limes." or why not call them all limes?-- so there would be "yellow limes" and "green limes." greek is such an ancient language, and they eat alot of lemons/limes, no matter what color they are, so why not call them what they really are?

i don't get it. can anyone explain?????
thanks.

So Turkish coffee is the one that spills over two thirds of your desk and is very hard to get rid of?

I think glikolemono is also another Greek name for lime. English sailors used to take limes on long boat trips, before engines were discovered and thus they were the cause for English people in general earning the nickname "limeys".

Limes are rich in vitamin C which prevents scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency disease.

Everything is worth a try at least once. If you are happy with Cyprus coffee, stick to it. I am hooked, whenever I dont get it I suffer from withdrawal symptoms.

Is it still next to Halkin Sesi?. They were the ones adding nohut unu to their coffee. You could taste it. Yes it is nice with a characteristic Cypriot flavour.

i think it is funny about the Nescafe being a type of coffee offered in CY. to us in USA, that is crap, yuck, fake coffee, and not offered at all. if you order coffee here, is is most like what you offer as "filter coffee" but our coffee beans are much better. (thanks Colombia!)

i did enjoy the Cyprus Coffee on my vacation.

If you use straight Mocha coffee beans for the making of Cypriot or even Turkish Coffee you will see the difference. Cyprus Coffee wouldn not taste the same without adulteration (or should one say without the added ingredients)
