Turkish coeffe

Why is this stuff so bad????????

[King Henry V]

It's really strong, thick coffee which you spoon can stand up in. Personally I hate coffee, so an even stronger flavour is foul for me.

Tasting "bad depends..

I do not like the bitter taste much, so that I stay away from too much pepper and bitter kinds of spices.. I also don't like coffee - any types. Tea is the king.

However, there are so many people mad at peppers and spices almost "to burn off" their mouth. Bitter thrives your hunger, that's the general -and practical- belief..

Turkish coffee has some features that should be kept an eye on for a good taste. You need the genuine "Turkish coffee cup" as small as 3-4 full dessert spoon can fill. And the most vital quality that a Turkish coffee is prepared well is the layer of bubbles at the surface of the coffee. Families who visit another, to take a promise for their sons from the host family's girl for marriage, may take a close look at with the girl's ability to cook. And The Turkish Coffee is a good estimator for the cooking skills of the girl. I love my culture, so pretty and different..

Especially in the city of Kahramanmaras (or Maras during the Independence War. They had the prefix Kahraman (= hero) after the War.), there is a coffee type called Mirra. Only the local people who are already used to the regional food & drink culture can drink it. They say it's hell bitter. You can't imagine how much..

And why is it said that if you put milk in Turkish coffee you get leper?(or something like this, the disease when you flesh falls...bleah!)

[LeftEyeNine]

Wow, I'm hearing Turkish rumors from foreigners ! I don't want this to turn out like the "Turkish Apple Tea" stuff. ~D

I did not hear such a thing. And there were never news like that. Who told you this actually? ~:confused:

Turkish coffee is made up from the coffee naturally grown. The specialty is about the processing and the serving part. It's unlikely for it to cause leprosy.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

maybe it's just a foundationless superstition.

My family seems to love it. I've tried it a couple of times but I'm not big on coffee. I like my espresso for now just fine.

I don't mind the bitterness, the problem is that it's so little of it to drink. Like 5 tea spoons. GAH!

[Mouzafphaerre]

Espresso is my second choice. ~;)

I love Coffee :coffeenews:

I'll have to try this.

[Sjakihata]

I tried turkish coffee when I was in egypt, 2 months ago. I absolutely loved it. So bitter and tasteful, yummi.

[Papewaio]

Latte with two sugars...

I have been drinking coffee since I was seven... ~:eek:

[Xiahou]

I 'try' to make turkish coffee from time to time.... have my own ibrik, ect. I have to brew it with a little sugar though. If anyone has a good set of instructions to make it properly, I'm always open to improvments. ~;)

I mainly drink 'french press' brewed coffee, although I have an espresso maker and a seldom used automatic drip coffee maker as well. Of course, I also have my own conical burr grinder and am considering buying a small roaster as well... ~D

[Reverend Joe]

I drink no coffee. I think it tastes like crap- its only flavor is bitterness. Sickening.

[Mouzafphaerre]

Big coffeecups don't work with Turkish coffee. You should use a small sized fincan. Measure your water with it and don't make more than two at once. If you will add sugar, do it before adding the coffee, when the water is cold. Three teaspons of sugar per fincan (will call it cup from now on) is the intermediate; may vary from two to five. Stir it.

Now, pour three full teaspoons of coffee per cup but don't stir. On light fire, wait for it to dissolve and cover the surface of the water. Take it from the fire and stir. Place it again and wait for it to boil. Don't let the "foam" in the middle disappear and take your cezve away from the fire and let it calm for a few seconds, then replace it on the fire. Repeat this process three times in total and it's done.

Now, make sure you distribute the foam evenly pouring your coffee into the cups.

The English word is leprosy, a leper is the person with the disease.

Thanks, by the way, that's a coffee rumor that will now haunt me for the rest of my life. ~:eek: Hope you're happy that I will never sleep normally again. :hide:

I have been drinking coffee since I was seven... ~:eek:You say that as though it is a big deal or something... ~:confused:

Was a mocha man, but these days I prefer a straight cappucino with one sugar, or two if I'm feeling under the weather. Given the God-awful hours I work, this is often.

It is when the nation was primarily tea drinkers, and by the time I hit Uni I was drinking on average 9 to 12 a day and during study periods 24...~:eek:

Nowadays Australians drink more coffee then tea. :coffeenews:

[ah_dut]

I'm more of a tea drinker personally, I drink Oolong by the gallon, as well as Jasmine, which sounds more then a tad camp. I'm not against turkish coffee per se but it's really too bitter for me
