Turkish coeffe

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!

Espresso is my second choice.

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

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...

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

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.

You say that as though it is a big deal or something...

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...

Nowadays Australians drink more coffee then tea.
