Friday, November 19, 2010 Turkish Coffee Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had to work in Turkey through New Year's evening this year at a remote warehouse / office for my company's franchise there. Desperate for coffee in the off hours, a co-worker and I searched the canteen cupboards and found a container of this exact coffee and some sugar. We actually made it in a microwave on low power stirring and watching and, amazingly enough, it came out extremely well. If you like authentic Turkish coffee, this is the real thing and it's as easy to make as hot chocolate.

Product Description:
Turkish Coffee is the name given to a type of coffee whose preparation and brewing techniques were invented by the Turks. It has a unique taste, froth, aroma, brewing technique and presentation... in other words it has its own identity and tradition. The first coffee was made in the Arabian Peninsula by boiling coffee cherries. The new method invented by the Turks revealed coffee's true flavour and peerless aroma. The Turks introduced coffee to Europe where for many years it was prepared and consumed as Turkish Coffee. Turkish Coffee is made from high quality arabica coffee beans from Central America and Brazil that are blended and carefully roasted, then very finely ground. The coffee is mixed with water and the desired amount of sugar and cooked in a "cezve", or Turkish coffeepot. The coffee is served in small cups. The coffee must be left to stand for a short time after serving to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cup.HOW TO PREPARE:It only takes two minutes to prepare Turkish Coffee. Using the coffee cup as a measuring cup, pour one cup of drinking water in the cezve per cup of Turkish Coffee (the quality of the water affects the quality of the coffee). Add two teaspoons of coffee (5 g) and two teaspoons of sugar (as desired) per cup. Blend the coffee and sugar with a spoon over a low flame. When the coffee boils over a second time, pour the remaining coffee into the coffee cups. Allow the remaining coffee to brew a while longer before adding it to the cups. It is customary to serve Turkish Coffee with a glass of water. The water prepares the mouth for the coffee's flavour. When serving a large group, it is best to prepare semi-sweet Turkish Coffee.

Thursday, November 11, 2010 Brass Coffee Mill (Round) 'Turkish Coffee Grinder' Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Looks nice, doesn't work. I love coffee, turkish style, espresso, ect. this is most upsetting to me when the bean enters the device then won't grind, adjustments don't work, I am so angry I haven't even thought of returning it because I'm likely to smash it over the sellers head.

Product Description:
Brass coffee mill with hand carved design. Brass, which is obtained by amalgamating copper and zinc, is durable, hard, and yet easly workable, which made it a prime metal to use in ship making, jewelry, and accessories. Since it is easily hammered compared to the bronze, it has been used in household utensils and cups, bowls, and pans, and it has also been used decoratively in lighting due to its similarity with gold.Pirinç uzerine i'leme yap'larak dizayn edilmi' geleneksel, topuzlu kahve de'irmeni, i'levselli'ini otantik ''kl'''yla birle'tiriyor. Elde y'kama önerilir.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Turkish Coffee Grinder - Brass (X-Large) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this grinder for Christmas and I love it!It works really well and produces baby powder fine coffee wich is needed in a Turkish coffee pot.I really like the hand made'ness of it.Mine has a few cosmetic flaws but it adds to the character, it is Turkish after all.They've been making them the same way forever.
There have been alot of negative comments regarding the fine grind.IT'S FOR TURKISH COFFEE!It's not for a french press, percolator or espresso machine.As far as the adjustibility goes, it is only meant to adjust the burrs as they wear, not to drastically alter the texture of the grind.
I've also read some negative reviews about the finish quality.If you're into modern styling and clean lines this isn't for you.It's made by hand with a sand mold and hand tools.This means that the finish will be a little rough and each one will be a little different than the last, but I think that's cool.
A review of the long version stated that it was unsuitable for use with food because: 1. it's not stainless steel and 2. you cant clean it.While both of these statements are true, it doesn't matter.It's a coffee grinder.The oils from the beans will keep it from rusting and I've never heard of a case of someone getting food poisoning from coffee.I think the boiling water will probably take care of any bacteria that forms.If you're that concerned about your health, coffee probably isn't the right beverage choice anyway.
It does take a few minutes to grind a usable amount of coffee.This shouldn't be an issue though because Turkish coffee isn't meant to be fast.It's a bit of an art to make it right and you should really take your time and enjoy making it.It'll taste better in the end!
All in all a great product!5 stars.Out.

Product Description:
Hand made heavy duty brass grinder with carved designs. It has a very sturdy mechanism with a thick steel rod (3/8") running through it. Handle folds and fits inside the grinder and coarseness can be adjusted. Excellent for Turkish coffee but also makes an awesome black pepper grinder as well! By the way, there are very few people left in the world that still makes these kind of grinders. They are built to last for a very long time.

Friday, September 24, 2010 Turkish Coffee Pot with Medal Handle Large Size (4 Ppl) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the Turkish coffee pot with medal handle large size(4ppl).This is a 10oz ibrik. I usually use 2-3oz water for one person. So this one can serve 3-4 people. I got it through amazon the next day. It looks good and the handle is not as hot as I thought before. I even don't use the glove to move it away from the burner.

Thursday, September 16, 2010 Double Brass Ibrik Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This ibrik is easy to use, easy to clean (just rinse), and it makes a decent cup of Turkish coffee. Although this is a "double" ibrik, I think it refers to demitasse cups (which hold only a few ounces). It will actually yield only one serving in a standard 8-12 oz. coffee mug.

Product Description:
The Greeks call it an Ibrik; the Arabs call it a cezve. Ours are made of brass, tinned inside, and have a wooden handle. You might see others made of copper or stainless steel and they vary in style. We will send with your order directions for making Turkish coffee and our favorite cafe recipes for making dessert Turkish coffees like Africa, Kilimanjaro, and Zebra.
