The Coffee you refer to is a regional beverage that was prevalent in the Ottoman sphere of influence and can be found in most of the Eastern Med and Southern Europe/ North Africa.
I had a glass in the very Greek, non Islamic, non-Turkish island of Kos this year.......It was called Turkish Coffee , however.
Btw Coffee is good for the liver, apparantly so I drink both Tea and Coffee depending on my mood.
