I need a good grinder. That should be can grinding from very fine (for Turkish coffee) to grow (for French press). I don't see any video about it in your channel.
Hi there, I wanted to ask if the size is important when using the Cezve? Like if I make 2 cups of coffee but in a bigger brewer like a 270 ml, will this be too big? Will it still brew well or will the big size not work to produce foam with a smaller amount? I am learning to make Turkish coffee with your videos. Thanks 👍🏼.
had my first turkish coffee from a restaurant in Seattle, Washington. These coffees are amazing! Served with a side of homemade turkish delight; best morning treat.
@@thisrocks place was literally called "turkish delight" lol. It's right next to pikes market and a couple of spots down from the starbucks right there.
David James ah I walked past there a few times but didn’t stop in. Shame! I might be back again for work later this year so I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks for getting back to me :)
@@DJ-jq8if That's Pike Place Market, there's no possessive. It's the market on Pike Place. Anyways, I'll have to check that out when things item up again, if this pandemic hasn't ended them.
Turkish coffee can be very sweet if it's done right. Here's my recipe. I use 200 ml water and 7 gr (one tea spoon) coffee, I like mine more mild. 6 clicks on the Commandante for the grind setting. Coffee of choice: Ethiopia, Brazil, Costa Rica. Takes about 8-10 minutes to brew. 1. Heat up the water to around 50 degrees (from 45 to 60 works best, since it doesn't 'burn' the coffee grounds). 2. Add coffee in the water and stir lightly till it's saturated (until the clumps disappear), takes 6 seconds. Stir by the edge of the cezve (it matters 🤣). 3. In about 30 seconds (or more, depending on the water temperature you added your coffee grounds), a 'cap' will start to form, I like to lightly stir at the top (4 stirs/4 seconds) when I see it. 4. Wait for it to start forming a 'cap' at the top again. When you see the coffee just breaking the cap, remove it right away from the heat. 5. Pour fast in a cup. If you have a cup with a smaller diameter bottom it will help settle the grounds there, so they are not agitated while you drink. You can meditate with your coffee for a couple of minutes until it cools down, I wait at least 10 minutes. The taste/smell changes as it cools down, similar to cupping. 😊 ---- Troubleshooting: Don't use very strong heat, as it might burn your coffee. You can try to add the ground while the water is in room temperature, to be sure you don't burn them initially if you add them while the water is already too hot (over 60 degrees). Softer water improves taste significantly. Hard spring water doesn't work as well. Use a metal cezve or brewing container, I have a glass one and it is trickier to heat up, resulting in a different taste. ---- Best brew I've had was at a camp, using cooled down fire wood, it took a while for the water to heat up, which resulted in the sweetest cup ever. Hope this helps anyone, feel free to ask questions! 🙌
@@coffeesomething yes, brew (heat up) a cup just one time. Using this brew ratio makes the coffee very mild, similar to filter, the caffeine is very low, you can drink a lot of these and always have fresh warm coffee available throughout the day :)
Just back from a trip to Turkey and Israel/Palestine last week. Bought coffee in Istanbul, as this was the "thing to do." Bought a Turkish coffee pot from Amazon this weekend. Watched this video a few times and gave it a go. The BEST coffee I've ever made at home. I'm in complete awe. Thank you!
I didn't really like coffee, but after reading Dune in 2016 and a couple of descriptions of coffee drinking, I was interested in this drink. I started with orders for espresso in a cafe, but gradually I delved into this topic myself. Now I have several cezve at home (for home and away), and one moka. ☕
I have been using this method for 2 years now with great success. My mum laughed originally when she saw me using the scale but she now does it the same way after she tasted my coffee ;)
My personal notes: - Grind freshly roasted coffee - Start with 7 grams of very fine coffee for each cup - Add water in circles with ~1:10 ratio ~60°C - Stir 10-15 times max - Brew until 1 foaming (most traditions foam it 3 times but then accommodate introduced bitterness with sugar or cardamom) - Slow down heat to control the rise of foam to the tip - Do not stir while brewing - Pour into angled coffee cup - Serve with water and something sweet like a date or raha - Wait 2-4 minutes - Enjoy ☕
In Egypt, we never preheat the water before mixing it with the coffee powder. We use cold water from the fridge and some people put an ice cube and we remove it before it boils
Recipe: 7 grams of very finely ground coffee (3 clicks on comandante) 70 grams of 60 degree water Put coffee into ibrik Pour water quickly into ibrik Give 10 to 15 stirrs Put on low temperature Around 1 minute turn down the heat controlling the rate of rise Take of the Ibrik when foam reaches rim. This should be around 2 minutes Serve with water and something sweet
Because Kratos is Greek. In Greek revolution he killed all the Turks by tearing off their limbs and heads. The only thing he kept is their Turkish brikis. He then used the briki to boil and drink their blood mixed with coffee.
I'm from Balkan area and this is a very good video how to make good coffee. Only one part that was missed in Coffee selection is how is roasted. Each region will have their own way of brewing and will require more or less some adjustment to your taste. We roasts coffee at home and use 100% Arabica coffee bean's, dark roast works for us.
The whole ritual from hand grinding to sipping is such a joy. Thank you for bringing turkish coffee back to my life. Ever since I became a coffee nerd I had shifted away from the traditional coffee we drink at home to pour overs and other popular methods for specialty coffee.
Thank you for including accurate measurements (and the ratio). I've seen other tutorials that just use a teaspoon for the grounds but don't give any guide about how much water (meaning, how big of a cup they're using.) I tried it using your method and it was quite good, and not bitter at all, even without any sugar. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear and easy to understand instructions for someone who has never made coffee this way before! I tried reading other articles and videos and all of them left me with questions still on how to make this correctly. Your video I had no problem understanding!! Thank you so much! Great job at explaining!
*I want to say that ANY Armenian, Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, Middle-Eastern mom/wife can make the most amazing coffee with this method. Power to the Moms in our lives.*
Interesting method! I will put in practice what I just saw in the video. Love brew coffee and learn new methods. Thanks for all and the tips. Hugs from Puerto Rico!!
Thanks for he recipe. I'll have to try this. I usually make my Arabic / Turkish coffee with a ratio of 6.5 or 7% (in 100ml of water or 100g I use 6.5g of coffee) with no sugar. I stir it, but I have to admit it's always bitter. I'll definately try this.
I bought one of those cezve from Specialty Turkish Coffee, and another one from the same maker but without the little dimple on the bottom. For whatever reason, the results from the dimpled one was better. Better convection?
The dimple at the bottom and curvy shape of the pot create a gentle turbulence and prevent clumping. There for no need to stir during brewing which increase the over extraction.
There are actually many methods, and the one in the video is definitely an option. My grandmother would separate the foam when it's about to boil, put it in a cup, and then pour the foamless coffee on top.
I had my first Turkish coffee in Dubai next to Burj Khalifa in a cafe.... It was so good that i have been addicted to Turkish coffee ever since..... It's not for everyone
The next time I see a coffee brewing video posted by some 20-something kid who's done it one or two times and declared themselves an "expert", worthy of posting an instructional video (that's UA-cam in a nutshell), I'm going to link here, to a real, experienced professional who's likely been making coffee longer than the "expert" has been alive. Well done.
@Evocati That's one of the downsides of being in coffee business. Most of the time we say "it's okay" and people assume it's just meh. Okay translates to very good. Drinking high-quality coffee and trying more than 10 cups everyday alters your perspective so you don't hear "it's great" from people around industry that much. If you hear that, that is really an exceptional cup of coffee.
I like to keep the coffee in the cezve instead of the cup. Brew, set aside, wait, and then pour into a cup. That makes the grounds remain at the bottom of the ibrik, and the cup is clean coffee.
This seems like the hardest recipe in the world... seriously! I tasted the BEST Turkish coffee up north in my state and well it was the first ever, but it was bitter and foamy of course. I asked how he did it and he says a special traditional way and with spices. I wish I knew what spices they were! It seems like there's quite a few varieties in Turkish coffee over here too :( It was a Greek restaurant, but I think it had not only Greek foods on the menu,
If this is the hardest, how do you even survive in this world? lol This modern approach to specialty Turkish coffee brewing is still one of the easiest coffee brewing methods.
I personally pour the coffee at waiting a few seconds, so that the grounds settle in the cezve. I also their away the foam, because foam contains tons of grounds. The shape of cezve is already a decanter. If you tilt the cezve at the end of brewing, and wait a few seconds(like 10-20 seconds), the grounds settle at the bottom corners of the cezve. Then, you pour slowly, and make a decanting. Since the grounds are going to be at a low point of the cezve during the pouring, you can sometimes get such clean cups that you might think it's filtered. If you like the traditional methods, go for it. But I don't like grounds. Throwing away the foam and decanting the coffee gives significantly less grounds into the cup.
Btw. that coffee roastery he has coffee from has some very good coffee. I had Mokha from them apart other things, which is very nice for this exact type of brewing. Except they dont have it right now. :D
Thank you. Where can I get a burner/heater like this please & what is it called? I'm looking for sth to keep my Turkish tea hot & a candle one is not strong enough.
Turkish coffee is also traditionaly way how people brew coffee in east europe/post soviet countries. And i must say this is the best method to brew any bad/supermarket coffee. You got super overextract bitter base, but with some suggar it taste much better than bad americano or instant coffee. It just have tons of body, and with this bitterness contrasts very strongly with sugar. Probably from a gastronomic point of view, this is the most justified case when sugar can be added to coffee. I am a barista now, i am make "Third wave" things, but I just can't say anything bad about this kind of beverage. Very good video. There are not much information in web on how to make Turkish coffee in the tradition of the third wave. I suspected that it was necessary to somehow reduce the extraction. But there are mostly traditional recipes online - These recipes insist that the water should be at room temperature and should be heated to a boil for 4-5 minutes. And this is basically exactly how my mom (and many other people in my country) makes coffee at home. I know from experience that it will be super bitter anyway. I brought in excellent light Nicaragua from work and it was barely better than cheap coffee from the supermarket. Despite the specialty beans, it was the same traditional "bitter" turkish coffee, which wanted to add a ton of sugar. I will try this method, but I'm afraid it will be bitter too. Maybe it is worth reducing the heating time even more? Start at 70 degrees?

I like my Porlex Mini II, but it is not even close to be able to grind to powder size. So I'd rather purchase pre ground coffee than to purchase a hand grinder for 250+ bucks. Ofc its not that good, but it's not bad either.
Good point, it’s always a trade-off. Comandante is a great all-around grinder but it’s cheap. I think there are some cheaper grinders dedicated for powder size grind size you need but that would be just for this one use.
I too have Porlex Mini II and I am disappointed by its inability to produce powder fineness as well. 😞 But it is new (a couple of weeks) so I hope that with further using the burrs could get weared and be able to get closer to each other and maybe... 😉 In fact I think it already grinds a little bit finer than it was able to at the beginning. I'll see.
@@PontiacCZ Frankly speaking, I am pretty sceptical about Porlex Mini being able to grind powder-fine for this type of coffee. You will soo, hope it will work!
Turgay is the best I know in specialty Turkish coffee making. And Turkish coffee is my all time favourite as it's the richest cup because you are unfiltered and have brew continuing until you sip the last drop.
Here's to all the coffee snobs. Hands down this is the best way to drink the coffee bean. With a touch of sugar it tastes like hot chocolate or something (no spices for me please).
I'm an espresso guy, and it remains my favorite type of preparation method, but Turkish is pretty much equal to it. It can be so smooth just by itself even without sugar.
@@uadhlagash7280 I used to drink it with sugar, but with age, as I started to drink coffee for its taste, not just for the morning caffeine fix, it started bothering me. Coffee made this way doesn't need anything. Sugar can drag you away form its perfect taste
It's really fresh to hear someone call out common mistakes, and say that the mistake will cause bitterness due to over extraction... Rather than the common 'youll ruin the crema!!!' I guess the worse the crema/lack of, usually means over extraction/a bitter cup...
I learned how to make coffee thanks to your video. And I'm addicted to coffee reading now :D There's a creepy guy on Etsy. I don't believe in such things, but..Woww
C4G is ideal for 3-4 cup brewing. We do not recommend for one or two cup brewing. If you brew for 3-4 cups I can recommend you to use less coffee 1 to 11/12 ratio. Because of the size and material mass of the pot the brew time will be longer than smaller pots. Longer brew time might increase the extraction.
Every site/video shows a different temperature, either cold or room. This is the first I've seen 140 Fahrenheit for the coffee prior to cooking - is that correct?
Two factors are at play to keep the powder from getting into your mouth. First is the grind size. Those ultra fine grounds, even finer than espresso, have almost no CO2 in them so they sink to the bottom more effectively than a drip/pour over grind would. Second, the drink has to sit in the cup for a few minutes before you can drink it, giving sediments in the drink time to move to the bottom. When you drink it, you take small sips in between bites of the sweet you are having with it. You would never just pour it down your mouth like you might with a drip style coffee drink. So you won't get any sediment really until the very last sips
@@dishanknayal6118 Most Middle Eastern and Greek restaurants serve this beverage. Though Greek restaurants will typically call it Greek coffee because Turkey and Greece aren't exactly on good terms right now. But it's the same drink.

It just have tons of body, and with this bitterness contrasts very strongly with sugar. Probably from a gastronomic point of view, this is the most justified case when sugar can be added to coffee. I am a barista now, i am make "Third wave" things, but I just can't say anything bad about this kind of beverage.
Very good video. There are not much information in web on how to make Turkish coffee in the tradition of the third wave. I suspected that it was necessary to somehow reduce the extraction. But there are mostly traditional recipes online - These recipes insist that the water should be at room temperature and should be heated to a boil for 4-5 minutes. And this is basically exactly how my mom (and many other people in my country) makes coffee at home. I know from experience that it will be super bitter anyway. I brought in excellent light Nicaragua from work and it was barely better than cheap coffee from the supermarket. Despite the specialty beans, it was the same traditional "bitter" turkish coffee, which wanted to add a ton of sugar. I will try this method, but I'm afraid it will be bitter too. Maybe it is worth reducing the heating time even more? Start at 70 degrees?
I think a description of the utensils used should be noted. It looks like a copper which is a great in keeping even heat
How do you get your 60⁰C water first? Does that kettle have a setting for it?
Thank you so much. Well explained. 🤘🏻☕️
How many clicks for the grind size you guys used with the commandante grinder
Very good presentation! Thank you.
Thanks for the video! - what kind of scale is that?
What was the burner? It’s seems to be a nice size for the stand.
Looks like it's www.rekrow.com.tw/en/product-225310/Elegance-Micro-Burner-RK4203.html judging by the model number pictured at www.specialtyturkishcoffee.com/shop/coffee-accessories/stcstandx/
We use Rekrow micro burners. We specifically use the model on the video because of the flame quality, easy control and portability.
@@twifkak Thanks so much for sharing the links.
Thanks Kratos ❤
Ok,vamos a probar asi
Woher bekommt man den Erhitzer? Und warum benutzt er ein Holzstück zum rühren, statt Metalllöffel?
Thank you so much!
I am Turkish and I know how to make coffee really well but here I am lol
well done , top tips
Glad you enjoyed it.
That's an amazing video. ♥️🧿
I like my Porlex Mini II, but it is not even close to be able to grind to powder size.
So I'd rather purchase pre ground coffee than to purchase a hand grinder for 250+ bucks.
Ofc its not that good, but it's not bad either.
Good point, it’s always a trade-off. Comandante is a great all-around grinder but it’s cheap. I think there are some cheaper grinders dedicated for powder size grind size you need but that would be just for this one use.
I too have Porlex Mini II and I am disappointed by its inability to produce powder fineness as well. 😞 But it is new (a couple of weeks) so I hope that with further using the burrs could get weared and be able to get closer to each other and maybe... 😉 In fact I think it already grinds a little bit finer than it was able to at the beginning. I'll see.
@@PontiacCZ Frankly speaking, I am pretty sceptical about Porlex Mini being able to grind powder-fine for this type of coffee. You will soo, hope it will work!
@@EuropeanCoffeeTripplease recommend...
Perfect, thanks!
How mani clicks did he use in the Comandante for this recipe? (I usually use 5 but I´m curious)
Turgay is the best I know in specialty Turkish coffee making. And Turkish coffee is my all time favourite as it's the richest cup because you are unfiltered and have brew continuing until you sip the last drop.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Can someone please share what is the fuel source in the burner? Thank you!
Here's to all the coffee snobs. Hands down this is the best way to drink the coffee bean. With a touch of sugar it tastes like hot chocolate or something (no spices for me please).
I'm an espresso guy, and it remains my favorite type of preparation method, but Turkish is pretty much equal to it. It can be so smooth just by itself even without sugar.
@@uadhlagash7280 I used to drink it with sugar, but with age, as I started to drink coffee for its taste, not just for the morning caffeine fix, it started bothering me. Coffee made this way doesn't need anything. Sugar can drag you away form its perfect taste
@@swatkabombonica4103 what taste? It is very bitter without sugar
@@sakuragi_hanamichi3263 if it's too bitter it's either you're using low quality coffee or you're boiling your coffee too much
Sugar bad
Turkish coffee is really a nice wake up slap in the morning after breakfast xD
It's really fresh to hear someone call out common mistakes, and say that the mistake will cause bitterness due to over extraction... Rather than the common 'youll ruin the crema!!!'
I guess the worse the crema/lack of, usually means over extraction/a bitter cup...
Yes...., grinds size, ratio, temperature, type/roast/age of coffee. They can make difference in flavor and texture of good coffee
You need specialty coffee, specific blends such as the Turkish, or Greek blend. Most prefer the Greek blends as they are more aromatic
How long do you grind the coffee in an antique turkish grinder ?
Thank u for sharing 🥰
Thank you where do I get your coffee heater ?
Thanks!
I learned how to make coffee thanks to your video. And I'm addicted to coffee reading now :D There's a creepy guy on Etsy. I don't believe in such things, but..Woww
Can you please tel me the maker of the coffee pot and copper funnel?
Is the 1/10 ratio recommended for the larger C4G STC pot as well?
the ratio is not affected by the amount of coffee you brew. so the C4 would be a nice big one :D
C4G is ideal for 3-4 cup brewing. We do not recommend for one or two cup brewing. If you brew for 3-4 cups I can recommend you to use less coffee 1 to 11/12 ratio. Because of the size and material mass of the pot the brew time will be longer than smaller pots. Longer brew time might increase the extraction.
Every site/video shows a different temperature, either cold or room. This is the first I've seen 140 Fahrenheit for the coffee prior to cooking - is that correct?
Yes. 60c water
best goes with marlboro's its a turkish tradition to light up a smoke beside coffe.
they love Turkish coffee and Turkish delights at breaks with family or friends
More curious where he/you got the device to hear the pot?!
Nice. If I use less than 6 clicks in C40, the ground beans do not go through.
Boiled coffee or cowboy coffee is easy and the best just put coffee in any pan add water bring it to a boil let the grounds settle drink
How do not get the powder in your mouth while drinking it? When did he filter it ?
Two factors are at play to keep the powder from getting into your mouth. First is the grind size. Those ultra fine grounds, even finer than espresso, have almost no CO2 in them so they sink to the bottom more effectively than a drip/pour over grind would. Second, the drink has to sit in the cup for a few minutes before you can drink it, giving sediments in the drink time to move to the bottom. When you drink it, you take small sips in between bites of the sweet you are having with it. You would never just pour it down your mouth like you might with a drip style coffee drink. So you won't get any sediment really until the very last sips
@@jarynn8156 that's interesting...would like to try that ...thanks for the info 👍 😀
@@dishanknayal6118 Most Middle Eastern and Greek restaurants serve this beverage. Though Greek restaurants will typically call it Greek coffee because Turkey and Greece aren't exactly on good terms right now. But it's the same drink.
Where can I find one of those burners??
very good ❤
I try to carry full of Turkish coffee but always split some why?
Where can u get the mini burner and stc stand..?.
