Well, what can I say? we have been in the Balkans for three weeks and Turkish coffee is what everyone drinks… unless they are young. Then it is Nescafe… which SHOCKS me. Nes, they call it. Vanja was raised on this coffee. It is not for me, though I can appreciate it. He now prefers his espresso at home, and I like my filtered coffee, or a good cappacino. But, one must have a Turkish coffee at least once…. and definitely see it made by hand. The crema on the top is the secret of the good maker, so that machine looks like a gold mine to me!

I’ve not had Turkish coffee before, but Elie’s enthusiasm is contagious – I want some! Can’t spy any Turkish coffee machines around here though, so I guess it’s the old fashioned way for me.

The only time I experienced the awkward texture of Turkish coffee was in Yugoslavia many years ago. Maybe, they didn’t know how to make it well…because the experience was to say the least unpleasant.
I would have to give it another try…maybe from that machine you’re so impressed about ;o)

Flavourful wishes,

Dear Joumana – I love it when people all over the world use modern technology to nurtuer ongoing traditions like this turkish coffee right here! I can never get over how strong and thicker it is than regular coffee…love it!

This is such a great story.

Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors

I have seen machines that grind, and make all the sorts of coffee, including demitasse espresso at fancy car dealers, I never knew that there was one for middle eastern coffee. I like how the coffee has a fine foamy top, and it is a skill to assure that each guest receives a fair share of the foam.

As a coffee addict who has never had Turkish coffee..I feel ashamed. I need to find someone with one of these machines. Pronto.
