TURKISH COFFEE

I do not quite understand the Western tendency to adopt and then corrupt original products. Why would anyone need a machine to make coffee? Also why beans that went through the digestive system of some animal. It means they came out of some ass.

The original coffee bean - Arabica - was first discovered and cultivated by Arabs. The Turks spread it throughout their empire and thus it is still known as Turkish coffee.

I always get a blend of Arabica beans - half roasted Italian style and half French style. The stores around me do not carry the original roast. Yet, they will grind it for me Turkish grind of course which the finest grind. I usually put some water to boil, measure a large cup of it into a small coffee pot with a long handle, add a heaping teaspoon of coffee and one of sugar. It takes 30 seconds to come to a boil again. I remove the pot for a few seconds, place it on the flame again, bring to a boil and repeat for a third time. It makes two little cups of coffee. After I pour it, it needs to sit for at least 30 seconds for the coffee ground to settle. Sometimes, when I have guests, I pour it into a French coffee press before serving with milk or half and half.

The little shot glasses in the photo are awaiting for some kind of anise flavored drink like: Anisette, Arak, Ouzo or Raki.

Șerefe!
