Drink a cup of filter coffee while eating a spoonful of dirt if you want to maintain the Ankara experience, but it is just a dumb guys failure at using an ingredient imported from Ethiopia than it is a style of coffee
ignoring that this post is probably bait, this is how most of west asia drinks it. including in yemen
Well, if it's done poorly or comes out of a Turkish coffee machine, then it's probably going to be garbage. What was your experience with it? I had it from a machine once and it was absolutely disgusting, but I frankly blame the machine for that.
In my knowledge, the biggest issue with proper Turkish coffee is that it's really finicky and hard to get the grind just right, because it's way finer than most consumer-grade grinders can actually manage to grind. So, since you have much coarser grinds in the cup, they won't tend to stick together like fine grinds, and will drift into your mouth more easily. The coffee will also not be extracted as thoroughly, so you won't experience the full flavor.
I hope one day to have the authentic Turkish coffee experience, and by that I mean having coffee in Turkey that's made by a street vendor with a big bowl full of sand where they heat up the cezve and boil the coffee three times as is apparently the tradition!
We have to talk about how
TurkishCoffee isjust making coffeewrongand pretending it's a cultural invention.I'm about to start a pour over and the dialectics are racing in my mind.
i guess the beans were originally imported from yemen. and in the balkans they get fresh beans, roast them, grind them and make it the same way as in turkish coffee and mix it with milk. maybe that would be a little better, i haven't had the chance to try it.
but it's true, it's not a taste that is easy to like.
The only right way to brew coffee is cold brewing, all other methods are quick fixes for the unprepared.
