Some subtleties of making coffee in a Turk at home
To prepare a truly high-quality product, you should know some subtleties.
1. Try to use freshly roasted grains. Do not be too lazy to find out from the "experts" or to google information about the nearby frying workshop. Buy grains every week, store in closed glass containers. Unfortunately, roasted coffee beans are a product whose smell is very short-lived. The most pronounced flavor in medium-roasted grains.
2. Use traditional Arabica.
3. Grind the grains right before making the drink. For “coffee in Turk” very fine grinding is needed. It is also called grinding "to dust."
4. Use quality purified water. The taste of the prepared drink largely depends on it.
5. Remember that good coffee is not brewed, but brewed. The temperature of the water should be lower than the boiling point, so that the same delicate essential oils do not collapse, giving the drink a special charm. At the same time, the low temperature of the water will not allow the aroma to open.
Fresh grains, pure water, fine grinding - these are the “three whales” on which the preparation of a unique drink rests, giving the body vitality and strength.
6. One of the values of coffee is its aroma. In order for it to spread throughout the room, put a piece of sugar or a pinch of salt on the bottom of the Turks.
7. Observe the correct proportion: ground coffee should be 2 teaspoons per 100 ml of water.
8. Do you want to further improve the taste of coffee latte? Use only whole milk. From it the foam is obtained especially delicious and resistant.
9. To obtain a high-quality product that would please you and your loved ones, constantly mix the contents of the Turks during cooking. This will avoid unwanted lumps.
10. Pour the finished coffee into cups, which previously pour boiling water.
Coffee in turk at home - choose the right dishes for cooking
Coffee gurus believe that the best Turk for making a drink should have a narrow throat. Through it, the aroma does not so quickly come out, the saturation and uniqueness of the drink is preserved. Preferred is the Turk, which has a bottom size of 2-3 times larger than the size of the neck. The thicker the walls of the container, the longer the drink will remain hot. This is an axiom.
As a rule, copper, ceramic, clay Turks are used to make coffee. Which one to choose to make coffee especially tasty? Copper Turk allows you to warm the drink evenly from all sides. The main feature of ceramic coffee utensils is a porous material that can easily pass oxygen, thereby enriching it with coffee particles. Clay Turk makes it possible to prepare a drink with a particularly rich aroma.
For daily instant coffee, a copper cezve is ideal. Other types of Turks require a leisurely approach to preparing a drink, which not everyone can afford.
Particular attention should be paid to the handle of the Turks. It must be made of heat resistant material. Modern industry offers plug-in and screw-in handles. The second option is more preferable.
Light and rich, bitter and tender ... Coffee can be completely different. The thing is the ability to cook it. We hope that now your morning will always begin with a smile from the anticipation of a good start with a cup of your favorite drink.
