Re: Greek coffee?

Mortor and pestle for grinding all manner of dry food stuffs and
coffee too are almost literally as old as the hills of asia minor.
Spice grinders, posibly of Syrian origin, with a top turning handle,
containing one stationary grinding plate, and one revolving one were
used for grinding coffee as early as the 15th Cent.  The long
cylindrical brass, steel or silver grinder design recognized the world
over as a Turkish coffee grinder dates from about 1665 according to
Ukers.  These can still be bought today (or at least 6 weeks ago when
I was there) in Istanbul's Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar, as they could in
the 17th Cent.  Though this type of mill is tedious to use, it makes
perfect fine powder grind for Turkish/Greek coffee.
