Cofee Ebook Testimonial

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 | Add Your Comment

I recently got this feedback and testimonial for the coffee ebook I’ve written and I wanted to share it with you:

“Here is an excellent and comprehensive guide to the world of Coffee. Karolos is clearly enthusiastic about his subject and writes clearly with much detail and vigour - but never boringly.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words - Karolos has gone one better and provided videos of such things as roasting and preparing Coffee Turkish style.

As a final touch, there is a huge selection of recipes based on Coffee that you really should see.”

S. Mountford

I would like to thank you Simon once again for your kind words!

This is a fantastic new coffee mixture! When I first thought about creating it I never expected it to be so good… It’s absolutely delicious and let me explain you why.

The FCS Arabic mocha is Arabic coffee with chocolate. If you love coffee and chocolate you will get in love with this special mixture.
It contains only Arabica coffee which is the highest quality of coffee available. Arabica means more flavour and less bitterness.

The Best Way To Make Turkish Coffee

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 | Add Your Comment

Please let me ask you a question:

Wouldn’t you like an easy and quick way to make Turkish coffee? And also, forgot to mention, a completely effortless one!

Making Turkish coffee with a simple ibik or a Hovoli is nice, but it can get very time consuming… especially if you have a lot guests in your house who drink Turkish coffee (like in the Balkans and in the Middle East).

It’s even worse if you are a professional serving more than 100 Turkish coffee drinks per day!!!

Imagine all the energy and time needed. Imagine the costs of sth like that…

But, there is a solution. What’s the solution you ask? I’m glad you asked :-)

The name of the solution is KafesKafes. A strange name for a great invention, isn’t it?

The KafesKafes is an automatic Turkish coffee machine. Basically, what it does is make Turkish coffee for you in just 50 seconds!

You put as much coffee and sugar you want you press a button and in a few seconds really delicious coffee get served in your cup.

If you think that this coffee is crap my friend then guess again. I was really suprised when I tasted the coffee it makes and realised that it’s far better than Turkish coffee usuallly served in coffee shops.

On the other hand It’s not suprising at all that four years of research and testing were needed until the first prototype was ready.

“It must cost an arm and a leg…”

It’s quite logical to think that ay. If you think of all the costs and time you can save this machine pays all by itself in just a few months if you make a lot of Turkish coffee. By carefully selecting the countries where the company gets its needed machine parts, the cost of production remained quite low. So this translates to lower price for you!

Professional quality, built to last and fully adjustability are only a few of the benefits of this machine which make it so different.

To learn more about this machine, without any obligation, visit http://www.TurkishCoffeeShop.com (there is also a special video of this machine)

Hey, you won’t believe how low the price is…

Greek Coffee

Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | Add Your Comment

Greek coffee (”Ellinikos Kafes”) is one of the simplest ways to make coffee. It is also know as Turkish coffee. Coffee has a very old history… It traveled to Turkey from Yemen and from Turkey it became known in Greece.

It became so popular that people started calling it “Greek coffee” instead of Turkish (or Arabic) coffee. Usually Greek coffee gets roasted lighter than traditional Turkish coffee. Another difference is that Greeks rarely add spices to their coffee.

More Greek Coffee Options…

Sunday, May 11th, 2008 | Add Your Comment

I really like Turkish coffee (also known as Greek coffee) and that’s one of the main reasons I created FreshCoffeeShop. After researching the market for Turkish coffee suppliers I decided to use Sambacafe as my main supplier.

BUT was it enough?

All the reports from the searches in FreshCoffeeShop showed that there was sth missing. People searched for big brands they knew and trusted like Loumidis and Bravo.

So I decided to add more offers in the Turkish coffee category. You can now choose Sambacafe Turkish coffee (highly recommended) or choose Loumidis and Bravo Greek coffee.

One of my personal favorites is Loumidis Arxondikos because IMHO it is a much better blend than the common Loumidis coffee.
