illy caffè North America (#)

„She reminds us that growing up in Yugoslavia, the ritual of drinking coffee was always an important aspect of her life. "Yugoslavia was occupied for 500 years by the Turkish, and drinking coffee was an integral part of the culture there. The farther south you went in Yugoslavia, the slower the coffee drinking ritual was. Half the day could be spent drinking coffee." She goes on to explain that when approached by illy, she had already been working on "The Coffee Table Book", a book that would contain a little bag of coffee that you could make, and then sit down and drink the coffee with your book.“

Tips on Coffee - The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (#)

„Needless to say, the whole thing becomes an international comedy of errors. Allen is an elegant prose stylist, providing countless insights about people and his beloved brew: ``Turkish coffee is like a clenched fist in a cup, tight, bitter, and black. The Yemen version, which comes glowing golden in a large glass tumbler, is a lighter, whimsical brew, deliciously sweet.'' In Vienna, Allen discovers how the invading Ottoman Turks brought coffee to Europe, transforming the whole continent. The author describes precaffeinated Europe as deadly dull, ``a lot like Nebraska on a slow weekendchurch or beer.'' Coffee was a harbinger for European political reform, especially in England and France.“

BBC News | EUROPE | Double vision in Macedonia (#)

„It could be the King's Road in London's Chelsea, were it not for the high speed gabbling of the television announcers as Macedonian television shows fuzzy pictures of two Albanian terrorists being shot dead, hand grenades in their hands. Three quarters of an hour away in Tetovo, Albanian men sip their Turkish coffee in the cafes and talk about the war, their misery at the repression of the Macedonians and how much they support the rebels in the hills. Every now and then the Macedonian army let rip with a machine-gun at the hills where the rebels are hiding. Then the men in the café listen to the gunfire, and shake their heads.“

Moka Pot (Stovetop Espresso) Coffee Brewers: All Stainess Steel! (#)

„ Stovetop Espresso (Moka Pot) Brewers - This model is discontinued - we are going to carry a new model of Bialetti Moka Pot - that will be coming in the next few weeks - Maria 1/14/05 Moka Pot stovetop brewers produce a dense concentrated cup that's something between espresso and Turkish coffee. Coffee is packed into a filter between the lower chamber (that you fill with water) and the upper chamber that will contain the finished beverage after brewing. Since the water is forced through the cake of coffee by pressure, the process bears more resemblance to espresso extraction that infusion (gravity-based) brewing.“

CoffeeKid - September 11 Tragedy (#)

„Yesterday, as I was out and about (no pun please), I made an effort to reach out to anyone in our multicultural society here in Vancouver who was of a different culture resembling the Muslim faith to say hi, to let them know that I for one will not play the game of ignorance and place accountability on a culture and race that are for the most part as shocked and humbled by September 11th's events as I am. My neighbour across the street, a Pakistani (and fellow Canadian) gentleman I've spoken to briefly but congenially in the past came over at my invite and we spent an hour or so discussing the events of Tuesday over some Turkish coffee, something he (and I) really enjoyed.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black (#)

„** The machine has a higher RPM than other machines. This makes it easier to reduce grind times and with additional speed, can reduce whole beans to powder in less than a minute (I've had a Black n' Decker that couldn't grind beans for Turkish coffee if you held the button for half an hour). ** the housing is oval and the lid is flat. I'm not an engineer or physicist, but I think the flat lid and oval shape allow the beans to fall back towards the blades for further grinding (again, my Black n' Decker allowed the beans to spin around the lid in a whirlpool pattern that was pretty to look at, but pointless for actually reducing the grounds to the small particles I wanted).“

Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method (#)

„Middle Eastern: This is the most popular method for drinking coffee all over the Middle East, Greece and Turkey and is often misnamed by Americans as Turkish Coffee. Another form of coffee infusion, this method uses a long handled narrow necked device called an ibrit where very fine, powdery coffee grounds are placed with sugar and water. Put on the heat to boil, the liquid inside begins to rise and a dark foam will come though the small opening of the ibrit.“

Amazon.com: Books: Harem: The World Behind the Veil (#)

„Croutier has a personal edge over most harem writers: All the women of her family lived in harems, and taught her about them. They taught her the important things to be pleasing to a man, such as removing the body hair with a homemade lotion, the particular use of henna, and making excellent Turkish coffee. The paintings add more than just prettiness; they illustrate the feelings and ideas about harems throughout the ages. This book is matter-of-fact, yet accepts that many Westerners had and still have very erotic, exotic ideas about harems, leading to flights of fantasy.“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

„As the coffee heats up, it should start to foam, but you don't want it to foam over the edge of the pot. The foam (kaymak) is key in Turkish coffee, and an absence from the top of the coffee can be an embarrassing faux pas for the person brewing. After letting it foam up three times, pour the coffee, foam first, into small demitasse cups. Pour slowly so the grounds settle to the bottom of the pot rather than slipping into cups.“

It is boiled in the pot, often with elaborate rituals.It makes the type of coffee known as Greek coffee, Turkish coffee or Arabic coffee depending on where you are and whom you support. The coffee is not as strong as espresso but has a muddy flavour due to the sediment taking up about one third of the cup. It is normally drunk black with plenty of sugar.“

„In France doctors protested against the use of the good brew with not much success. 1669, coffee became fashionable in Paris when the turkish emissary Soliman Aga treated the kings court to a black cup of coffee. Though ridiculed by french writers the use of coffee grew. The first simple coffeehouse opened the same year by an unnamed Armenian.In 1724 a Sicilian, Francois Procope opened a coffeehouse which still is in use (Café Procope).“

„Going back in history, the Greeks definitely have had their own traditional way of preparing coffee: in an ibrik, short, strong and sweet. Throughout the coffee world this traditional coffee would normally be called Turkish coffee, but, if you value your life, don't call it that to a Greek. He or she will claim that the Turks learned the skill from the Greeks during an uninvited stay some hundred years back.“

First fill the ibrik 2/3 full with water, add sugar to taste (if you like your Turkish coffee sweet) and top it with a heaping teaspoon of finely ground coffee. The coffee seals the narrowtop creating an oven effect. As the water begins to boil it will foam up through the coffee.“
