Turkish Coffee - How to control the flavor

How to make Turkish Coffee - new knowledge. All of the tips in one video.

As usual with my approach of brewing we control the extraction by color and motion of the foam.

When the coffee starts to "wrap" and go darker - you control the taste. If you want "brighter" coffee (more acidic) - take it off while it's still bright. If want more bitter notes - take it off when it's wrapped completely.

There are 2 types of coffee (in general) - Acidic and "Basic".
And the brewing approach is somewhat different.

With the acidic coffee we sometimes don't brew it towards bitter notes in order to preserve the delicate notes. And not cover them with the "chocolate".

"Basic" coffee - there is no acidity and you can easily brew it darker since all of the flavor is "stored" in the "dark" area. Balance is shifted towards it.

Your videos have genuinely helped me to make my favorite cup of coffee, right in my own kitchen. You've offered me my own personal "master class, " which has offered enough specificity and detail to produce a truly professional cup. Thank you, brother, for everything you are. And thank you for this phenomenal share! 🙏

I made butterscotch Turkish Coffee: several teaspoons sugar in the cezve. Heat till brown liquid. Take off heat. Swirl by moving it in circles. Add butter. Mix by swirling. Add coffee. Swrirl. Add water. Return to heat. Rise, pour off 1/2. Rise pour off half. Rise pour all off

I learned so much from your turkish coffee guide ❤

Long story short: don't be afraid to brew Espresso roast longer (with the full wrap). At least if coffee isn't acidic.

During the second Brewing, I think, it shows exactly what you were talking about. I've been loving your videos. I picked up my cezve after watching your videos and I think this video here was what I've been looking for. Thanks!!

Amazing how you go from a shaven head back to longer hair a couple times a week! Kidding aside, thanks for the videos, always interesting!

Nice job brewing that a bit darker. Can you slow it down a bit once you get the dark ring forming at the circumference? Try getting it to wrap fully, dark, prior to the rising? But good job!

Rising too soon means you need to reduce temperature at the final part. Best done on a gas stove with adjustable flame.

I always wondered how a good specialty coffee would taste using the turkish coffee technique/grind

[caporcea]

Hey man, because of you i’m now intro cezve afer pulling espresso foe years. Thank you. Quick question, i have a 1zpresso jx pro but am loojing for an upgrade, Is Kinu your favourite grinder for turkish?

Great video.
I've been playing around with brew times and recipes.

What I discovered with my choice of bean (dark roast), pot (Stainless steel) and heat (glass top stove), is that the longer and slower the brew time, the better.

Recipe: 8g coffee with 95g water - starting point 60°c-65°c

Brew time: 3-5 minutes on medium heat.

Stir after one minute on heat as you advised, and also a light stir at 2 minutes.

Bean: Toby's estate Woolloomooloo.

Grinder: Timemore C3 at 6 clicks.

I really want a copper pot

New to brewing Turkish coffee... I have a cezve and Sozen grinder set as fine as it will go. I struggle to get full wrap foam when brewing and the foam after sitting in the cup for several minutes is very gritty - maybe it is supposed to be.. not sure.

Do you think Turkish coffee works with Arabica beans?

[Mehran-hj]

Some people say that it works only with robusta seeds, it turns sour with arabica seeds

I compared two brew this morning, one "short", one "full wrap" with an ethiopian coffee (no roast profile specified). The difference was very small. The full wrap had more taste, a little bit thicker. But less bright. At the end of the day, I don't know which one I would prefer. I have a question : do you sometimes adjust your ration? Like 1 gram more of coffee for dark roast, one gram less for light roast?

you dont have to use starbucks coffeee. I live in Turkey. And there is so much option for Turkish coffee. İn my opinion the best coffeee is ‘Abdullah Efendi’ for make Turkish coffee❤

[Chrisgordon]
