I need a good grinder. That should be can grinding from very fine (for Turkish coffee) to grow (for French press). I don't see any video about it in your channel.

I noticed the silent "it's okay" comment after tasting the brew. That's usually my reaction when I make a coffee too, hah :)

Haha, great catch. Sometimes when making coffee in front of the camera you are not 100% sure about the resulting brew but in this case, it went well!

Why is Kratos teaching me how to make Turkish coffee and why do I love him?

[@StopFear]

Because Kratos is Greek. In Greek revolution he killed all the Turks by tearing off their limbs and heads. The only thing he kept is their Turkish brikis. He then used the briki to boil and drink their blood mixed with coffee.

Turkish coffee can be very sweet if it's done right. Here's my recipe. I use 200 ml water and 7 gr (one tea spoon) coffee, I like mine more mild. 6 clicks on the Commandante for the grind setting. Coffee of choice: Ethiopia, Brazil, Costa Rica. Takes about 8-10 minutes to brew. 1. Heat up the water to around 50 degrees (from 45 to 60 works best, since it doesn't 'burn' the coffee grounds). 2. Add coffee in the water and stir lightly till it's saturated (until the clumps disappear), takes 6 seconds. Stir by the edge of the cezve (it matters 🤣). 3. In about 30 seconds (or more, depending on the water temperature you added your coffee grounds), a 'cap' will start to form, I like to lightly stir at the top (4 stirs/4 seconds) when I see it. 4. Wait for it to start forming a 'cap' at the top again. When you see the coffee just breaking the cap, remove it right away from the heat. 5. Pour fast in a cup. If you have a cup with a smaller diameter bottom it will help settle the grounds there, so they are not agitated while you drink. You can meditate with your coffee for a couple of minutes until it cools down, I wait at least 10 minutes. The taste/smell changes as it cools down, similar to cupping. 😊 ---- Troubleshooting: Don't use very strong heat, as it might burn your coffee. You can try to add the ground while the water is in room temperature, to be sure you don't burn them initially if you add them while the water is already too hot (over 60 degrees). Softer water improves taste significantly. Hard spring water doesn't work as well. Use a metal cezve or brewing container, I have a glass one and it is trickier to heat up, resulting in a different taste. ---- Best brew I've had was at a camp, using cooled down fire wood, it took a while for the water to heat up, which resulted in the sweetest cup ever. Hope this helps anyone, feel free to ask questions! 🙌

[@sedeat0118]

I didn't really like coffee, but after reading Dune in 2016 and a couple of descriptions of coffee drinking, I was interested in this drink. I started with orders for espresso in a cafe, but gradually I delved into this topic myself. Now I have several cezve at home (for home and away), and one moka. ☕

The whole ritual from hand grinding to sipping is such a joy. Thank you for bringing turkish coffee back to my life. Ever since I became a coffee nerd I had shifted away from the traditional coffee we drink at home to pour overs and other popular methods for specialty coffee.

[@bfflorida2311]

I'm from Balkan area and this is a very good video how to make good coffee. Only one part that was missed in Coffee selection is how is roasted. Each region will have their own way of brewing and will require more or less some adjustment to your taste. We roasts coffee at home and use 100% Arabica coffee bean's, dark roast works for us.

[@SpectruMetaL]

Usually, Arabica but we try to do with any kind of beans around the world. Just those have to be fine ground. Ofcourse fresh ground too.

[@davidsOO50]

What is your roasting method?

[@TarekMidani]

My personal notes: - Grind freshly roasted coffee - Start with 7 grams of very fine coffee for each cup - Add water in circles with ~1:10 ratio ~60°C - Stir 10-15 times max - Brew until 1 foaming (most traditions foam it 3 times but then accommodate introduced bitterness with sugar or cardamom) - Slow down heat to control the rise of foam to the tip - Do not stir while brewing - Pour into angled coffee cup - Serve with water and something sweet like a date or raha - Wait 2-4 minutes - Enjoy ☕

@Evocati That's one of the downsides of being in coffee business. Most of the time we say "it's okay" and people assume it's just meh. Okay translates to very good. Drinking high-quality coffee and trying more than 10 cups everyday alters your perspective so you don't hear "it's great" from people around industry that much. If you hear that, that is really an exceptional cup of coffee.

I bought one of those cezve from Specialty Turkish Coffee, and another one from the same maker but without the little dimple on the bottom. For whatever reason, the results from the dimpled one was better. Better convection?

[@coffeesomething]

I think the better inner turbulences while brewing bring a positive impact to the extraction…

[@specialtyturkishcoffee]

The dimple at the bottom and curvy shape of the pot create a gentle turbulence and prevent clumping. There for no need to stir during brewing which increase the over extraction.

Turkish coffee is also traditionaly way how people brew coffee in east europe/post soviet countries. And i must say this is the best method to brew any bad/supermarket coffee. You got super overextract bitter base, but with some suggar it taste much better than bad americano or instant coffee. It just have tons of body, and with this bitterness contrasts very strongly with sugar. Probably from a gastronomic point of view, this is the most justified case when sugar can be added to coffee. I am a barista now, i am make "Third wave" things, but I just can't say anything bad about this kind of beverage. Very good video. There are not much information in web on how to make Turkish coffee in the tradition of the third wave. I suspected that it was necessary to somehow reduce the extraction. But there are mostly traditional recipes online - These recipes insist that the water should be at room temperature and should be heated to a boil for 4-5 minutes. And this is basically exactly how my mom (and many other people in my country) makes coffee at home. I know from experience that it will be super bitter anyway. I brought in excellent light Nicaragua from work and it was barely better than cheap coffee from the supermarket. Despite the specialty beans, it was the same traditional "bitter" turkish coffee, which wanted to add a ton of sugar. I will try this method, but I'm afraid it will be bitter too. Maybe it is worth reducing the heating time even more? Start at 70 degrees?
