Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Measure 60 ml of cold water per demitasse cup into a briki or small saucepan.

  2. 2

    Tip in the ground coffee and the sugar, then stir off the heat until no lumps remain.

  3. 3

    Set the briki over low-medium heat and do not stir again. It takes 3-4 min.

  4. 4

    When the foam starts to rise, lift the briki off the heat for a few seconds, then return it.

  5. 5

    As soon as the foam rises to the rim again, remove the briki from the heat.

  6. 6

    Spoon the foam into the cups, then pour in the coffee slowly.

  7. 7

    Let the coffee stand for 2-3 min so the grounds settle. Serve with a small glass of cold water and do not drink the grounds at the bottom.
