That´s because they can´t handle the truth, and truth is they were a province of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years, and a lot of what they eat and drink traces back to that time period, and vice versa, i.e. a lot of things Turks eat and drink have some Greek background just as well.
Coffee spread around the world when the Turkish siege of Vienna/Austria failed and the Turks had to go back. They left their huge coffee supplies back there and some Polish man named Franz Georg Kolschitzky knew what coffee was and how to prepare it( most Europeans at that time didn´t ) and invented the first coffee houses in Vienna.Coffee used to be called Türkentrunk in Germany, meaning the Turk´s drink, not Griechentrunk ( Greek´s drink) Today, Vienna´s coffee houses have a reputation as being among the best in the world.
Turkish coffee (mokka/ Türk cezve kahvesi) is prepared differently, I drink it on special occasions and love it, I also love tea and German filtered coffee. Turkish coffee helped the Turkish troops to stay awake, it was a popular drink among the Akinci troops, the Janissaries and , of course, all kinds of folks in the provinces , including Greece. It goes way back to Ethiopia and/or two Syrian merchants who first introduced coffee to the Turkish Sultan .
I don´t have any problems with Greeks even though they butchered thousands of my people around 90 years ago ( my grandgrandmother witnessed this) but I think it´s hilarious when they try to claim everything for themselves.It´s also sad, actually, cause most former enemies like Mexico and the USA, France and Germany, Germany and Poland and Russia and Germany have settled their differences somehow. Even my Greek friends laugh about this re-naming of things sometimes ( but I don´t mind, let them call it Greek coffee..next thing you know, they´ll call Dönerkebap Greek..oh no, wait a minute...that´s already GYROS . One day I went to this job related seminar and two Greek women used it as a plat form for their propaganda and urged the participants NOT to buy Turkish pistachios, which I found ridiculous considering it had nothing to do with the seminar, but it just goes to show you.
Pistachios from California and Iran taste better than Greek or Turkish pistachios anyway, but hey...
Today, tea and ayran have become the traditional drink in Türkiye...Turkish coffee is still very popular, but people drink HUGE amounts of Turkish tea from the Black Sea region.

Good, smooth, esspresso, from a bar by the harbour in Naples, best in the world.

yummmmm, I'm one coffee into the day so far.

we keep folgers at home, but I prefer the darkes roasts, black please- leave all the sh*t out!

Strong, really strong, stronger than strong coffee is best!

I'm so damn boring - I don't drink coffee or alcohol (usually) or smoke. I do occasionally like the taste of coffee, but more often than not I prefer my caffeine in the form of:



But even that is just occasional now - down from 2 or 3 a day to about 1 a week.

im kind of a coffee junkie....but i like with cream and some kind of flavored creamer.

my personal favorite is the SOY french vanilla one, i just really like the soy bean taste that comes through

but any of those other ones would do in a pinch

I'm heading down to the cafeteria now to get me a cup.
Can't start on those TPS reports without my cup 'o joe!
