Dear kokopuffs:

I have to admit that you have mastered the technique of making Greek coffee! Your instructions were perfect!

There is one thing that I would like to add. For those of us who like sugar in our coffee, the recipe is:

Glyko: Equal amount of sugar and coffeee.
Metrio: Half the amount of sugar than that of the coffee.
In Greek Funerals: No sugar.

Also, do not forget to pour the coffee into the cup from a height of 12 inches. This will create air bubbles in the foam. Some coffee shop regulars in Greece are very particular about their coffee. They will order it with a specific amount of air bubbles. The way the coffee maker accomplishes that is by creating more air bubbles than the customer asked for and then they prick the extra bubbles with a niddle.
