Had real Turkish coffee for the 1st time

Wow, that's strong

The description at the place I had it said the coffee is very finely ground, and not filtered. They also added a touch of cardamom, and a little cube of sugar for each serving.

It was good but expensive. Not sure I'd buy it again, but I wouldn't mind learning how to make it. I wouldn't want it every day.

I had it once. Definitely rocket fuel.

Don't forget to floss after drinking, unless you want fine coffee grounds in all your spaces. Other than that, however, it can be great or terrible, depending on who's making it. It's basically espresso x 10.

You were in Turkey?

Wasn't Turkish coffee but had this at a trade show.

The people that own the place are originally from Turkey. I would ass-u-me that it's fairly authentic

I used to get it often at the homes of my Armenian friends. Best coffee ever. Not hard to make but you have to have the authentic beans to begin with.

the turks tend to boil it with the sugar rather than adding sugar afterwards

Yep. It is simple to make but can be easily scorched. I love it but I sold my "coffee pot" in a move a few years ago.
