2003, Inge Adriansen, Nationale symboler i det Danske Rige, 1830-2000: Fra fyrstestat til nationalstater, Museum Tusculanum Press, →ISBN, page 424:Indholdet er derfor ikke forskelligt fra danske kaffeborde i 1950'erne, men serveringen og forløbet er anderledes, og derved får kaffemikken sit særlige grønlandske præg.- Therefore, the content is no different from that of the Danish coffee parties in the 1950s, but the serving and the process is different, and it is thus that the kaffemik gets its particular Greenlandic touch.
