    the trick is how you prepare it... b,121b,121I have never had it from a coffee shop, I guess the process has a few more steps b,121b,121essentially you pour the grounds in the cup, then add hot water... stir and let it settle and enjoy.. expect a mouth full of ground your first couple of times, until you get the hang of it

    font class="post"1b,121b,121every kind I have had has a different flavor then regular coffee, I think they add a different kind of bean to it.. like a coffee bean that is not roasted. b,121b,121it has a distinct flavor

    So it's coffee that brings Muslims (Turks) and Jews (Israelis) together? Who knew the secret to world peace was a disgusting beverage!

    I make it using a butter melting pot, much like the one in this still-lifeb,121b,121img src="http://www.jamesporterart.com/ArtSL-MeltingButter.jpg"1 b,121b,121this baller Starbucks coffee, ground on turkishb,121b,121img src="http://www.starbucks.com/shop/images/product/san_a.jpg"1b,121b,121w/ some sugar and an assortment of spices. b,121b,121You can find ta standard recipie online and fine tune it to your liking. Or just go to any middle eastern restaurant and pay $2.50. S'all good either way.b,121b,121The funny thing is they don't even really drink this in Turkey, so I've been told. It's all about this super potent black tea drink over there.

    Has anyone tried Ethiopian coffee? I've had a mere tom thumb sized cup before and was well buzzed for a couple of hours. Tasty too.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Yeah Ethiopian coffee is and best consumed in small doses. Damn tasty though, I always tend to blend it with a slightly less intense coffee so you still get the taste but slightly less of the jitters.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Vietnamese coffee is the shit but I can't F*ck with it too much. The condensed milk just kills me. Years back, there was this spot in Houston where you could get one made with chocolate condensed milk. Not like they added chocolate but actually found chocolate condensed milk somewhere.

    Super fine grind with cardamom for sure and sometimes pepper? or other spices? Always sludge up in your grill.b,121b,121Is this a regional difference thing? Because the rest of the thread basically states any coffee finely ground in a brass pot?b,121b,121I am confused.b,121Please school me.
  • mannybolonemannybolone Los Angeles, CA 15,028 Posts
    From what I understand, you could define turkish coffee at least two ways:b,121b,1211) by its brewing methodb,1212) by its ingredients and particular flavor
