I agree with the previous comment and to be honest there is no rule on how sweet the Greeks like their coffee. I don't prefer it sweet at all but my grandfather for example was putting double the sugar this article describes. I have also written an article on how to prepare a greek coffee here: http://www.deligrecious.com/en/blog/36-organic/79-greek-coffee-how-to-prepare-one I would appreciate your opinion.
Greek Coffee
Finely ground Greek coffee is available at Greek or Turkish specialty stores. Greeks typically like their coffee to be quite sweet, but feel free to adjust the sugar level to suit your taste. After the coffee is poured, the grounds settle to the bottom of each cup; they continue to release flavor but are not meant to be drunk. Prep and Cook Time: about 10 minutes.
