Just wanted to thank all members here for info on Turkish Coffee/style...just got a stainless steel Turkish coffee pot for $10-bucks, some Turkish coffee....I'm in heaven!
Mehmet Efendi Coffee is the oldest Turkish Coffee brand, and it's still a family run business.

Their coffee is absolutely delicious. It comes in a vacuum tin box. Amazon and others carry it for

about $19.x/per pnd

Just had some while smoking a bowl of Irish Oak. A good way to start a weekend.

A lot of folks tend to over think coffee creating a ritual and making it out to be more then what it is. Just a simple Moka pot on the stove works well for me, inexpensive with a lot of flavour and kick.

Turkish coffee is a great way to start the morning. It isn't really over-thought, it is the original way to enjoy a cup of coffee. If you think about drip coffee makers or espresso machines, a simple pot on the stove with water and coffee grounds is much less complex, cheaper, and much more flavorful.

After watching a video on brewing it doesn't look all that laborious. I could set aside my cowboy coffee and give it a try.

If you like French or Italian roast you will like Turkish style coffee. It is ground to a very very powder fine consistency and cooked over flame or element in a pot. It is very very concentrated. I usually take my darker stronger tasting roasts black, but Turkish style coffee is usually served with sugar and sometimes with cardamom or other spices. I like all of them, but sugar and cardamom is my favourite cup of Turkish coffee. My girlfriend is from Lebanon and I have another friend in Israel...between the 2 of them I never run out of high quality coffee.

the stuff with cardamom and sugar is also really good when combined with milk, cream or even a little vanilla ice cream and served on ice. The coffee is also a fantastic way to flavour brownies or chocolate cakes. Oh yeah, it also makes a great alcoholic drink with bailieys or kaluah or any other like liquor, a little vodka, ice, milk, cream or ice cream and shaken vigorously.

With cardamon here!

Without cardamon here!

And for your Ibrik you can get one at Bed Bath and Beyond or get one online as in here!

No need to buy any Ibriks that are more than $20 until you decide you like it. They all do the same thing just some are a little more ornate then others.
