How to make Turkish coffee?

[agriss2009]

I LOVE turkish coffee!

[jamesmcashan1]

the simple Turks win, they have espresso with no machine. the pot ("harita" in Harabi Espanol) fits in a pocket. it cooks on camel dung if that is all you find. but the religion of tradition puts foul grit in the mouth. get a strainer screen, büyük yağ mutlu Turk!...i have studied food and science for decades. i have inspected thousands of food services personally (and by network). good to smell the coffee and not drink, it can cause heart attack and stroke! - james mcashan for the US Senate

MMM !! MMM !!! MMM!!!



[CoutureSista]

I want to go to TURKEY! YA!

[dollsofvalley]

I'm a coffee lover... and make various types of espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, etc. But that just looked brutal - like caffeine tar or mud! Seems easy to make, so I think I'll try it. It's just a very different way of making coffee.

[SirGeorge8600]

I am a Greek who LOVES Turkish coffee! For 10 years I had been drinking crap bitter espresso with lame syrups for taste and now I know the best coffee in the world! Thank you Turkey!

[mkhaled55]

really effective at morning or at work and also healthy for brain activities

[caprice2020]

by these way you can get all the flavor from coffee.

[lobzdik]

is sugar necessarily for the foam? I can't seem to get any foam to stay? ((

[lauraleesmithagain]

@lobzdik I have the same problem. I'll get the foam in the ibrik and then I pour it into the glass for drinking.... but by the time the drink cools down enough for me to drink without burning myself (about 5 minutes) the foam has completely evaporated from the cup. I can't figure out how to make the foam stay in the cup long enough for me to drink it.

[a9nyt]

@lauraleesmithagain I guess you overheat your coffee. Remember foam doesn't come from boiling coffee, in fact boiling it is bad for taste in any process of making coffee. Although, I guess you might have to boil it to get the foam if your coffee is not ground finely enough. This coffee is ground finer than espresso, so it's not easy to obtain. One way - to buy a turkish grinder (sort of like a pepper grinder), another one that might work - use one of those domestic electric grinders.

[yotober]

@lobzdik no it's not. The coffee itself and the way you make it determines the amount of foam.

There are 15 haters whom do not care about taste at all.

[zomb1e89]

europeans met coffee in 1529 by courtesy of turks

[hwangbo101]

I love it

[DemirCanberk]

Coffee has 3 levels to serve , pure , medium , and high sugar.

But whats important is after you drink it , you close your glass to the bottom.

And a friend fortune about the marks that coffee give off (left overs)

[Balkanrowdy]

no sugar! my life is sweet i need no sugar please mustafa!

[themodularmodular]

so you don't filter for turkish coffee?

[vkfkts]

@themodularmodular No you don't, coffee powder settles down the cup.

[dayuhl2u]

I love this stuff at my local Mediterranean restaurant! I'm so going to buy a set from the website!

[joeldamianicigan]

Does it taste better than good drip coffee?

[AzaxSyndrome1]

yes this is the REAL PURE COFFEE

[deviouswun]

'Black as hell, sweet as love' is how I love mine. Turkish coffee is the best.

[fade123d]

Coffes history come from Ottoman Empire,it is us who made the coffe first.So there is nothing to be suprise.Coffe is one of the biggest culture we have.

[ETWFTW345]

@fade123d you are wrong there, I'm afraid it was the Arabs who made coffee first.

[norelojon]

@ETWFTW345 I think its history goes to Africa, but Turkish people introduced the coffee to the Europe and West. Even the word coffee comes from Turkish word Kahve. (However, Turks got it from Arabs, and Arabs got it from Africa) The world's first coffee house was in Istanbul, opened in 1554.

[ETWFTW345]

@norelojon this is true but you could also say that the word coffee comes from the arabic word quahwi but it is true that turks were the guys who really made coffee popular lol

[mohammedholly2]

this is how we make it everyday... my husband taught me how to make it. It is soooo good!

[r1oot]

turkish coffee=jetfuel

[aporia82]

@r1oot hahaha that's true. it would have a jet effect on one's brain :)

[Ilkhan28]

Ive been trying to make this but to make it just right, according to the instructions on the site, there's a few things make a difference which he does not mention in the video. Size of the pot and amount of coffee prepared in it, and that you should not let it boil or your foam will evaporate. Maybe my problem is I'm trying to make coffee for one in a 12 oz ibrik :( I'll eventually get a 6 oz one but ive tried making more coffee per my ibrik size, but now cant get it to rise without boiling.

[Ilkhan28]

@Ilkhan28 addendum; it seemed to be stuck at the "foaming" stage but would not rise after I turned the heat down.

[TheGoodChap]

The Turkish coffee I have at a very small Mediterranean restaurant had if I remember correctly, cardamom in it. Gives it a very distinct taste. I love this coffee a lot!

[sablelieger]

This is the perfect definition of good coffee; not that "Starschmucks" crap.

To paraphrase "Grimes" from Black Hawk Down. "Is all in the grind." :D

[SirVantesAFC2PUA]

would like to try this one day, seems to me like you can make this with instant coffee??

[kerefeka1]

@SirVantesAFC2PUA

No, you can't make it with instant coffee. It has to be fine coffee powder. You can make it by yourself by grinding roasted coffee beans with grinder (the instant coffee is prepared with other methods).

[queenshebac]

Al Hamdulilah I am very fond of Turkish coffee and my friends suplly me with Turkish Delights, a real treat!

[shereef92]

delicious



[foofita7]

oooh I am addicted to this coffee :D

[49fiori]

I think that you should first put the water to boil on the stove, add some sugar, than add coffee when the water starts boiling, stir on fire, wait until it boils to the top, remove it from the stove, wait 10 seconds for it drop, put it back on fire and let it boil one more time to the top. Add cardamon with the coffee.

This is it.

[brownrevolution]

Espresso and Turkish coffee are in a whole different levels. Turkish coffee is not filtered and contains way more caffeine than espresso due to the fact that an espresso does not steep enough to pull out all the caffeine. Second Turkish coffee tends to be more bitter and the flavor fluctuates because the grounds are kept in the cup. They are both good but just different

[Spherical3]

Crap. My grinder doesn't do a fine enough grind.

[majawow]

Definitely recommend WITHOUT cardamom, because the flavor of that spice is too strong and kills the taste of good coffee. And don' t put too much sugar, you can always add more after you taste it.

[estebanflyer]

who shot and edited this video....

[Sirchud68]

Yummy

[Gweezian]

Very nice!! My Quick Mill grinder allows for "turkish coffee" grind so I can do my own.

[dieselboi91]

why don't you filter out the grounds?

[101687623]

@dieselboi91 because it is powder forn and falls to the bottom of the pot because of the way it is formed it will not let the gounds go in

[nightfireivey]

This is the whiskey of coffee!

[LimeGirl08]

The best turkish coffee I've had was when I was waiting for a bus in Amman and it was 6 am in the morning. I bought it in a corner from a cart and it was SO delicious. Later, I had Turkish coffee again from a a TUrkish place, but it just didn't taste as good. I wonder why..

[dental2th]

what was he doing it 00:04

[clownsandjugglers]

I think he is grinding the coffee beans into a fine powder.

[99999999988888888]

Why would you need a glass of water on the side?

[HerrJohannesPaul]

Because this coffee is strong. If you don't drink water with it the coffee taste lingers for hours.

[nightfireivey]

@99999999988888888 Like espresso this can be upsetting for a weak stomach or it's used for better taste.

[deadgirl2010]

i mean WoOoOoOoW

its look delicious

[dgllamas]

@deadgirl2010 It is! I first tasted it in Egypt, and upon the first taste, fell in love. Egyptians flavor it with cardamom, which make it AWESOME. If you can either make Turkish coffee or buy it somewhere, please do. It's wonderful.

[baris66]

Turkish Coffe are the best !

[BARONSCHWARZWALD]

what is th roast of the beans?

[hardassteel]

I have had turkish coffee before, it is good.

[CelestialTorment]

The Best coffee in the world (Im not turkish :) )

[TMxoxo]

turkish coffee is so good..i love it..just LOVE IT.. hele bir aksam ustu oldunda, butun yorgunlugunu bir guzel turk kahvesile atmak, tek kelimeyle HARIKADIR

[azrausa]

I love Turkish coffee,I thing it's help with my digestive.

Mustafa bey,Cok guzel yapiyorsunuz,Bi sey eklmek istiyorum,Tepside dantel ortu eksik:)

[SylvanaForrester]

Turkish coffee is like a drug to me. I was so happy to see that the man in the video uses the same brand I use (I have a Turkish market near me so I'm lucky). But my pot is not the highest quality (the metal is a little thin) so I have to keep an eye on the flame. I didn't know about equally distributing the foam among the cups, so thanks for the tip! If I have more than two cups I start talking a mile a minute and feel like I can fly home and my family says, "good, maybe you SHOULD fly home!"

[5hak3itup]

turkish coffee improves sex life

[AlaskaBandit]

wow xD

[Bakuninite]

errrm, can I do this with anything other than a traditional coffee pot? Turkish Coffee pots are sort of in short supply where I am.

[mountainbirch]

in short supply--yeah, me too. I used ebay. Just ordered a second, larger pot today, in fact. I tried a greek stainless steel pot, but I didn't like it as well, it has a curved bottom, which takes so much longer to heat. So I just bought another copper turkish pot. I think they work better--just my opinion-- now that I've tried 2 styles of tiny pots. It is hard to find anything similar. Similar may not be close enough, that was my strategy with the greek pot.... not so good

[AlaskaBandit]

It is not about the size of pot; its metarial. It should be 2 or 3mm copper.

[ilteriskhan]

real coffee

[mountainbirch]

I would state that this is WAY more economical than an espresso--with the same thick brew and much less fuss. The equipment is cheaper, the amount of coffee is less without sacrificing any taste. That's important in today's economy. No special appliance required, only a small pot

[efe122]

yepp

corporations like starbucks sell people coffeee diluted with milk which tastes like crap

and is packed with sugar

whereas turkish coffee is healthy, affordable and very rich

[xuxingon]

mi piacciono tutti !! capuccino, turco, espressoooo boh

[nighTURKmare]

oruç felan kalmadı... :S

[nighTURKmare]

i like TURKiSH CoFFee , brilliantttt...

[Thycid]

forget all that "frappamochalattewhatever" crap with pounds of whip cream and sugar. this is REAL coffee my friends.

[CaffeineMan33]

This stuff is delicious...better than espresso and cappuccino.

[FraNe91]

@CaffeineMan33 My preferred home-made coffe is the turkish one, but if you drink coffee in a café nothing's better than italian espresso (if drunk in Italy of course).

I swear it's totally different from any "italian" espresso you can take anywhere in the world! :D

[caprice2020]

@CaffeineMan33 I agree with you

[gofret22]

Thanks so much! I never knew how to make Turkish coffee the correct way and when I followed your directions it turned out FANTASTIC!
