How to make coffee in the Turk: useful tips

Coffee is considered to be a unique drink. Thanks to its exquisite aroma and unsurpassed taste, it finds popularity in all countries of the world. Leading manufacturers have developed many options for coffee machines, but none of them will not give the taste the way Turkish does. A simple device, which we will talk about today, will help to reveal all the qualities of ground grains. Consider the important aspects in order, we give practical recommendations.

 How to make coffee in Turk

Which coffee to choose

Before talking about cooking ground coffee, you need to choose the basis for the drink.

Coffee variety
The most popular varieties are Robusta and Arabica.As a rule, “Robusta” is used extremely rarely, because the final composition is strong, tart, bitter. In our country, the Arabica variety has gained wide popularity - coffee with optimal bitterness and mild acidity.

Coffee grind
Depending on the degree of grinding, large (coarse), medium, fine (fine) and ultrafine grinding are distinguished.

Coarse grinding is used in cases when coffee is prepared in “express” coffee machines or filtration coffee makers. In addition, on the basis of coarse grinding, you can prepare a drink in the Turk, it will turn out without sediment.

Experts call the average grinding universal. With it, you can make coffee in a professional machine or at home on the stove - in a Turk.

Finely ground coffee is chosen by people who have available geyser equipment for brewing a drink. Also, the composition is great for cooking in the Turk, but the appearance of sediment.

Ultrafine or ultrafine grinding is used less often than all others. On the basis of this type of brewed real Turkish coffee, it is also used for coffee makers, which imply the output of the final product through small grains, similar in structure to the flour.

Important! All the necessary information about the variety, grinding and degree of roasting is on the front side of the package. If you have a coffee grinder, give preference to whole grains that need to be grinded just before cooking.

Coffee class
If we talk about the quality of coffee beans, there are 4 classes: the first, second, highest and premium segment.

Of course, the best option is considered a premium class. In this case, the grains will be ground uniformly without large particles. However, if it is not possible to purchase an extra-class, give preference to a higher or medium one, you should abandon the low option immediately.

Degree of roast
The taste of the finished drink, its strength and consistency depend on the roasting of the grains. There are 4 degrees (1-4). If you do not like too strong coffee, choose the second or third stage. Connoisseurs of soft drinks fit the first category of roasting. It all depends on individual preferences.

Choosing the right Turks

Turk is an instrument that came from ancient times, it allows you to fully convey the taste and aroma of the selected coffee.Of course, coffee machines simplify the process, but they are inferior to the "manual" cooking option.

 Choosing the right Turks

Coffee brewed on the stove using the Turks (it is also called the Cezve) is a truly unique delicacy. For this reason, it is recommended to approach the selection of accessories thoroughly.

Types of cezve
Depending on the available subspecies, clay, ceramic and copper Turks are distinguished. All of them have a number of features and properties.

  1. Clay Turk. The device is bad because the walls absorb the taste and aroma of coffee beans. For this reason, when choosing clay pots, it is important to consider that it is recommended to cook only one variety in it. Otherwise, the taste and smell will mix and spoil the invigorating drink.
  2. Ceramic Turk. Initially, it was in this celebrity that coffee was prepared by our ancestors. However, due to excessive fragility and fragility of the device went into the background. If you have a ceramic Turk in good condition, give preference to it.
  3. Copper Turk. Due to the fact that the jazz has thick walls and the bottom, the coffee is heated evenly. This variant of cooking is considered the most common, but the taste and aroma are transmitted only by 90%.

If we talk about other types of dzhezv, allocate silver and gilded Turks (collection series). It is better to refuse them, since such devices were made for decoration, and not for household use.

Technical characteristics of the Turks
When choosing a cezve, give preference to a variant that has a narrow neck and a wide bottom. This design ensures uniform warming up, as a result of which water boils away much more slowly.

If we talk about the volume of the Turks, one mug accounts for about 65-70 ml. water. It is important to remember forever that the size of the cezve directly affects the taste of the finished drink. If possible, better get a small-sized Turk, in which you can cook 1-2 servings of coffee.

What can replace the Turk

Not all people have a Turk, and everyone wants to enjoy a natural drink. In order not to buy cezve, consider the current replacement options.

  1. Geyser coffee machine. The device is considered to be analogous to the Turks. It consists of a lower compartment for water, a tap, a container for ground coffee and a kettle for the final drink.After pressing the “Start” button, the water in the lower compartment warms up, passes through a faucet that is directed towards the coffee grounds. The finished composition flows down, filtering the ground grain. As a result, you get a delicious coffee without froth and blotches.
  2. French press. Household appliance not intended for brewing coffee. You can brew the crushed kernels, insist them and strain. This replacement option is suitable for people who are accustomed to drinking coffee in a large company, as well as those who do not like to observe the remnants of ground beans in a cup. The taste of the final drink is much inferior to the Turk and geyzernoy coffee maker.
  3. Stewpan or saucepan. If you have a stew-pan in the kitchen or a small-sized thick-bottomed pan, use the dishes to brew coffee. The downside of this option is that the thick rises along with the foam and settles very slowly. At the same time the aroma disappears, distorting the entire drink. If you decide to make coffee in a saucepan / stewpan, cover the dishes with a lid and leave a small gap for steam to escape. Make sure that the coffee does not boil out and does not burn, these are the most common mistakes.
