  • Turkish coffee ----> BL8QCaO6KMs&feature=related

  • How you say coffee in Armenian? I mean pronounce?

  • @stern535 Coffee in Armenian is soorj.

  • @dkalajian Thanks :)

  • keep on trucking my armenian friend

  • Thanks for sharing such an important video! Making the proper Armenian coffee can be a difficult science.  We appreciate a good tasting soorj, thanks for sharing!

  • Turks inherited all their cuisine including coffee from Armenians...Nomadic Turks had nothing before they invaded historical Armenia...

  • @BeautySavesWorld i agree with you 1000%.what did the Mongols have before invading historical Armenia.other than beating each other with ropes.

  • Very good video. :)

  • Thank you so much. Very well done. Enjoyed immensely. Armenian grandfather and his brother came to Canada via Ellis Island, from Harput. Grekor and Hagop Ekmakjian.

  • nononono, put the sugar after having the coffee in the cups

  • how many cups of this stuff would you say is OK to drink daily? I keep it to 1 and a half in the mornings. I think if I drank 1 at night I would not fall asleep.

  • i think the coffe is the same only the way to prepare is different

    but its the best coffe :)

  • Doug, I used to live in Dar' rhan, S.A. and my father and I went to a little shop that made coffee exactly the way you do. They had a hired coffee maker and that is all he did all day. He poured the coffee into little glass cups in a stream about two feet high. In Jordan I got coffee so sweet I could almost stand a spoon in it. In Vietnam I got coffee with condensed sweetened milk. Weakest coffee I ever had was on a Sioux reservation. It was like very weak tea, no sugar or milk. Yuk!

  • Kim kardashian drinks that everyday that's why she's hot

  • @ TheFamilyGuyLove Whoah! Great counter-argument! Yes, the turks do call it turkish coffee, so in a sense they do have their own type of coffee. It isn't historically armenia's discovery or turkey's. The arabs gave it to the persians, they gave it to us. Then When the turks conquered and pillaged our lands, they stole it. I guess if you count theft as a reasonable means of creating a culture then yeah they have their own coffee.

  • @fade123d actually it's armenian coffee. The turks only began drinking it after they conquered armenia in the ottoman empire, then it was spread throughout the middle east and some eastern european nations, so please don't try and pretend your people had anything to do with influencing any culture in the middle east, they've only taken from the arabs, armenians, and persians to make their own. That's just sad.

  • @xxPurexxFabulousxx its actually turkish coffee.

  • Hi Doug,

    I just started making Armenian coffee instead of Cuban espresso (many trips to Miami taught me to appreciate Cuban coffee). Your video was helpful. I am now looking for a good tabletop single burner because our stove is a flat top and the heat is not consistent. My father never drank Armenian coffee but I am sure my grandfather, Nishan, did. I also enjoy a good shot of Raki. Do you know how to make Raki? Ha. Ha. Take care, Mark Mathosian (Boca Raton & North Carolina)

  • :D its turkish coffe :D armenians always do the same things , Blaming turks all the time also showing the Turks Culture like its their own. :D its just funny

  • I am an American and I love love love Armenian coffee, the flavor, the boldness such yummy goodness! An Armenian friend just gave us the pot and cups and the coffee as a thank you and I am super excited to practice and share with my American coffe drinking friends and treat them to the wonderful goodness of Armenian made coffe. Thanks for posting a great easy to understand video!

  • cool!

  • Lol he made it sound souch more complicated than it is. I'm armenian my self and it takes me far less time to prepare it. And I'm sure any beginner could do it faster. Most of the stuff he said was icing on the cake. And FYI most Armenian hate the foam and take it off

  • An Armenian friend pointed this out to me after I made a blog post about Lebanese coffee. I think for best results I'll have to start making my own, and now I have somewhere to check back on my method. Thanks.

  • Doug wonderful video!! I know everyone has their own way, but i've received better results by not stirring the coffee as you did before putting it on the flame. What i do is after i add the coffee/sugar i put it on the burner. Once heated, the coffee and sugar sink down and it will dissolve into the water on its own, and thats when i stir..... also i dont stir the coffee after i remove it off of the heat.....in any case great video, thank you, and keep them coming!

  • Thank you! I just shared your video on my blog. I hope you make more. I especially like the discussion of the culture and traditions which you include along with the explicit and easy to follow directions.

  • Doug, wonderful presentation and instructions. You are natural for this. I hope you'll continue to introduce the Armenian kitchen to the rest of the world. Good job and thanks.

  • Σας γαμώ όλους, μουνόπανα Τούρκοι!

    All Turks, fuck off! Lovely greetings from your friends the Greeks.

  • In Bosnia we call it Bosnian coffee! :) My Ethiopian friend calls the pot "dzezva", just like we do! I think this is really the original way of making coffee. It generates the best taste too...

  • Lovely video. What a nice looking coffee- plenty of crema. It the same as Greek coffee too.

  • i make this for my mom and dad so i no it all :]

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks for sharing Doug. When I was a much younger, I use to make Armenian coffee for my grandfather every night. Though I drink it often when in Armenia, I had forgotten how to make it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

  • You're welcome!

  • awww mannn.. lolol.. i just threw some colombian foldgers with a little bit of sugar in the pot.. boiled it instead of putting it in the coffee maker and thought i actually had some armenian.. i did it all wrong..

  • your good

  • your good

  • Can u explain why do I have to buy armenian coffee from Arabic and Turkish shopes and why is coffee pot is same with turkish pot .. if coffee from arabic and turkish shop and coffee pot same as turkish then why do call it armenian coffee .. u guys r funny

  • WHERE IS THE CIGARRETT????? YOU NEED THAT WITH THE COFFEE!!!!

  • how did that towel NOT catch on fire ?

  • the best way to do armenian caffee

  • @HyePower23 Im Armenian and my grandparents had to escape in 1905 to NYC. But I dont think Turkey is a p of s as you say, and I also think each race has its own contributions to mankind. I dont think Turks are cowards either. We need to stop the hatred really at this point. Nothing can change the past. We lived 2gether with Turks for 700 years. There must have been some good times too, or we would have left Sivas and Van and Urfa and Adana and gone straight to Yerevan.

  • @3rdStoneObliterum ok their are cowards in every race, hyepower23 is reffering to those turks that did genocide such as the government or the soldiers. They were ordered to deport Armenians and on the way they raped women and children, killed them, etc., i think you know the rest. Where my point is you can't just say we can't change the past and leave it as that. It's because of you current genocides are taking place. Thats why the Holocaust happened Hitler himself quoted, "who todday.......

  • @3rdStoneObliterum ...remembers the annihlation of the Armenians." Hitler saw that the Turks got away with and thats when he decided to go along with the Holocaust. Remember that history repeats itself. I didn't want to comment about the Armenian Genocide on a video like this but I felt like I had to.

  • @arthurkirakosyan7 brother I understand you believe me. we can never forget it. but continuing the hatred to Turks is wrong, hatred and anger only destroy you inside. Turks should admit to the gov't agenda of Armenian genocide however.

  • @3rdStoneObliterum I don't hate Turks, as a Christian I'm told to love everybody even my enemys. But please dont say Turks aren't cowards because they are soldiers killing helpless Armenians with no weapons to defend themselves? If that isn't a coward I don't know what is.

  • armenian-iranians add everything together mix it well and heat it up and duing heating u strr it...its much better

  • he put wayyyyyyyyy to much coffee

  • god bless you,enjoy the coffee

  • Armenians dont have coffee, my Grandmother came to Armenian from Syria in 1947 and took coffee with them my Grandmother told me Son our Armenians dent know what coffee is

  • Check out my first video!!!

  • its officially turkish coffee :)

  • @aslizz STFU please go read a book,

  • l would suggest u to patent it asap,otherwise if these poor turks see that,probably they will just jump over and call it turkish coffee.Pudding head poor barbar idiots...

  • hmmm its ok, and i do love coffie but, rather go starbucks, Sorry

    atleast i tried lol

  • its bitter .... not strong :(

  • Thanks. I just made a pot. And to the poster below it IS Armenian coffee, because we are Armenian! It can be Turkish coffee at your house.

  • Bollocks !!

    Greeks call it Greek coffee, Bulgars call it bulgarian coffee, arabs call it arabic coffee, serbs call it serbian coffee, romanians cal it romanian coffee, and no surprise you Armenians call it armenian coffee

    lol!

    what do all those above mentioned nations have in common?

    Answer: Former slaves of the bad old Turk :)

    but when u think about it I can understand you, how could you possibly enjoy ur coffee when u name it after a nation which left a very bitter taste in ur mouth?

  • If you really love coffee, thank an Ethiopian. They discovered it, and the Arabs brought it to Asia Minor. By the way, Arabs and coffee both got there before the Turks. So call it what you like, but I think we can all agree it's lot better than anything called Starbucks.

  • Comment removed

  • @dkalajian I like the way u handled dat.

  • @dkalajian ottoman empire 1555, the first mention of turkish coffee

  • @dkalajian lol, Yep Ethiopians did create the first form of what we know coffee is today. My family are Eritrean and they have traditional coffee ceremonies where they roast, grind, and boil their own beans they buy. Its really strong and resembles espresso. Each country has their own variation of coffee and the way they prepare and serve it.

  • @dkalajian you handled that very well. Alvin1923 was a real asshole there and you handled it quite well, much better than I would have.

  • @dkalajian WELL ITS NOT CONFIRMED YET,.. THEY SAY THAT IT WAS DISCOVERED IN YEMEN AND ETHIOPIA BUT ARABS IN YEMEN ARE THE FIRST WHO USED IT THEN THEY BROUGH THAT THING TO THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST,.. AFTER THAT THE TURKISH COUNTRY THAT WE CALL IT OTHMANI SPREAD COFFEE TO THE WHOLE WORLD WHEN THEY TOOK OVER THE ARAB WORLD

  • @Alvin1923 dont forget kurdish

  • @Alvin1923 im armenian and i agree :)

  • @Alvin1923 that is funny but so true lol!

  • @Alvin1923 You are a cock sucking sakatat yemegi. I bet you get fucked in the ass by ataturks children. In Iran when they refer to an idiot, they say TURKA KHAR, which means DONKEY TURK. Now I don't believe this is fair to the DONKEY. Everybody on the planet knows this about TURKs. You fucking assholes claim you invented coffee, why don't you go get fucked in the ass by ataturks children like the way you like it.

  • @Alvin1923 "Answer: Former slaves of the bad old Turk :)"

    You mean to sat good old Turks! I love them! They thought people good things, like hygiene and other innumerable goodness's, to ignorant and backward people. Only backward bigots like you do not see that.

  • Not nearly as many as in LA, but enough to support Armenian churches in Boca Raton, the Fort Lauderdale area and several others around the state.

  • Glendale's beautiful, but so is Florida! Believe it or not, we have Armenians here, too!

  • well world knows it as ''Turkish Coffee''idiots!!!!

  • very bad :(:( bböggg

  • shut up turk

  • Looks amazingly tasty. i need to get one of those pots.

  • turks call it turkish coffee, arabs call it arab coffee, greeks call it greek coffee, serbs call it serbian coffee, bulgarians calls it bulgarian coffee. the list goes on and on...

  • so?

  • so, It's not armenian coffee. it's a coffee belongs to balkans, middle east and caucasia...

  • no one says it originated in Armenia, it's the way Armenians drink coffee. You have a problem in your head and it's called nationalism. Coffee doesn't belong to anyone and no one calls it balkan, middle east and caucasus coffee. I know what your problem is you want everyone to call it Turkish coffee, but can't take the fact that we don't. To us it's Armenian coffee and thats the way we gonna call it. Coffee doesn't belong to anyone so shut up and explode from inside.

  • according to your comment, it seems that you have a little problem called "nationalism". I use a supranational term I say it belongs to a "certain georgraphy", I didn't use any ethnical term. and you say that it belongs to a "nation", to armenians. so, I think you are 100% idiot...

  • Who says it belongs to Armenia?? You are the one with a problem cause you are hyper vigilant of words ambiguous enough they could mean that something belongs to Armenia. Even though this is not the case for this video, you are still frustrated. The guy makes numerous times a connection with mid eastern Assyrian etc cuisine. If you listen to him you'd understand. Also look in the description. No one claims this coffee to belong to Armenia. It's the WAY of drinking it. Typical Turkish fascist !!

  • there is no uniqeness, there's no special way of drinking it. in all these regions it's made with same cezve, with same style, same kind of tools and drunk in same ways with little fincan. saying this is typical turkish fascism? If I were fascist I should say that it's Turkish coffee. I think you are a nationalist who didn't realize it yet....

  • You shouldnt think too much it will hurt your brain.The fact that a lot of people drink coffee the same way explains why everyone calls it a different name.Its origins are ambiguous. We dont have a problem if Turks call it Turkish coffee or Greeks call it Greek coffee. It is you with a problem when we call it Armenian coffee. Stop hiding your true intentions. And go to videos with Turkish coffee and say it's not Turkish because others call it their own. You are making a problem out of nothing.

  • ok we are not gonna make it. this turns out to be a classical turkish-armenian conversation. and that's what I hate. enjoy the coffee....

  • if you would for once stop your fascist thoughts and listen to what the man says in the video you'll understand everything. just listen the first 25 seconds!! He even makes a joke about the fact that everyone calls it their own coffee. I quote: "Today we going to make Armenian coffee which is a unique coffee except for all the other coffee made in the near and middle east. Really it's all remarkably similar"

  • I just repeated what he sad. I travelled all aorund the balkans, middle east. nearly all foods are same and many traditions are same. but when you ask people they say that aaah this food is unique to us. greeks says that this food is greek, arabs say the same, turks say the same, bulgarians, armenians say the same etc. etc. and they always talk in a very sure way that the food belongs to their own nation. what I tried to say, we all have commonalities, this is not fascism.

  • Well then you have a very odd way of saying it. Cause really from the way you say it, it sounds like you are bothered by the fact that we call it Armenian. Thats why I wander if you are also bothered by the Turks calling it Turkish. And I suspect you are not. So if you really wanted to emphasize our commonalities this sure is not the way to do it. Cause it sounds like you want to "correct" something (that is wrong in your eyes) not observe an ironic fact like the guys does in the video.

  • what would you say if I search for turkish coffee and just coppy paste your comments? Wouldn't I sound like a nationalist dick?

  • you can copy and paste every comment of mine to any turkish site with my nickname. I always say the same things to turks....

  • Calling something Armenian doesnt forbid anyone ells to call it something ells. We drink it this way its known to us as the way we drink it. To Greeks it might be known the way they drink it. So they call it Greek coffee. It doesnt exclude one another. The fact that you are bothered by this name reveals your intentions. Non nationalists wouldnt be bothered by it. Like I said why dont you go to videos about Turkish coffee and harass them as well??

  • you dont actually need to use cold water, you can use hot water if you have a water tower with the function of providing hot water, you also do not need to boil it twice, once it rises you can take it off and serve it. plus, the coffee doesnt actually "disolve" the grains fall to the bottom of the cup, so only drink about 3/4 of the coffee or you'll be drinking grains, and its nasty in my opinion but some people like it.

  • Very well done Doug. Armenian diaspora needs more people like yourself to introduce the Armenian culture to other people around the world. 5 stars Bravo!!

  • Thanks very much!

  • Nice message at the end. Truly a link to the centuries.
