  Coffee in Greece
The latter, and more recent kind of Greek coffee, is served with ice and made from a special type of coffee which is sold powdered or in small grains.
The Greek coffee may be served in four different ways: “sketos” (without sugar, strong and bitter), “metrios” (one teaspoonful sugar); “glykys” (sweet but boiled more than one time, so that it loses most of its froth).
Once the coffee is ready, leave it to settle for one minute, so that the powders of the coffee are gathered in the lower part of the “briki”.

 Reading Greek Coffee
This method of fortune-telling, known as tasseography, or tasseomancy (kafemandeia in Greek), has been practised for centuries and originates in China, where tea leaves were read in the bell-shaped cups (before that, monks used to read patterns formed on the internal part of bells in temples, so the handle-less tea cup was a logical progression).
The trick is not to take it all too seriously, but also to consider the possibility that some, if not most of it may be likely, indicative of something important or de facto true; certainly everyone who has had their cup read comments that what it reveals often is uncannily spot-on.
Once the coffee is finished, the cup should be held facing out on its side and be turned three times clock-wise, whilst spilling out the sludge and simultaneously spreading it around the entire surface of the cup.
