Thursday, December 9, 2010 Deluxe Millennium Gift Set Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had been interested in acquiring an ibrik ever since my first cup of Turkish coffee at Dilettante in Seattle. For some reason I never got around to making the purchase. Well, this was the year I treated myself, and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. This set includes everything that you need to start developing your skill with the ibrik. (And it does take a few tries to get it right.)
The ibrik that comes with the set is a nice size for making coffee for one or two, and has a nice brass finish. The coffee samples are fun to play with and a nice introduction to the different ways in which this style of coffee is prepared (and here I mean the different spices or flavors which might be ground with the coffee beans). Finally, the cups are a nice way to serve it and match the size of the ibrik very well.
Tip: I found that I needed to scrub the inside of the ibrik to get it clean before its first use, which would have been very difficult if I hadn't had an old baby bottle brush laying around.

Sunday, December 5, 2010 Turkish Coffee Spice Mix 2.0 Oz - Zamouri Spices Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As soon as I removed the seal from this jar, I knew I'd be happy with it.This is the perfect product to buy if you're not able to get traditional Turkish coffee ground with cardamom, but have to settle with a generic roast.It's sweet, yet spicy (think gingerbread), and reminds me of my travels in the Middle East. The only problem was that it arrived with a broken lid.

Wednesday, December 1, 2010 Cairo Turkish Style Coffee .5lb Bag Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I do not drink Turkish coffee. I find it too concentrated and bitter. But I LOVE Natasha's Cairo and Beber Turkish style coffee. Why? Because you don't have to use it to make Turkish coffee! You can put it in a regular coffeemaker and it will brew regular American coffee. Use just slightly less than you would of regular ground coffee to compensate for the finer grind.
But why would you want to do that? I'll tell you. Because Natasha's Cairo and Berber taste SO MUCH BETTER than American coffee you will be amazed. Why? Two words cardamom: (Cairo) and coriander (Berber). Both these spices suck the bitterness straight out of the coffee and leave it tasting delicious without even the slightest hint of sweetness, and de minimus calories.
Try it just once. You will be amazed. But be forewarned. You will alsofeel cheated and wonder "why oh why have I been drinking this American swill that I can only choke down with a cup of milk and a tablespoon of sugar all my life?" That's right. Black coffee doesn't have to taste bad. Try Natasha's Cairo or Berber brands and you'll find out why.
BTW, Don't order the other brands because without cardamom or coriander Turkish coffee is even more bitter than American. And don't order the Najjar, even with cardamom. Its not the same quality as Natasha's own blends, maybe because Natasha's grinds theirs in Kentucky, not in Beirut.

Coffee Cairo is Turkish coffee, spiced with cardamom and cloves, a blend closer to the first coffee of the 16th and 17th centuries. They drink it this way in most of the Middle East, in Middle Eastern restaurants in America, and of course, in Cairo.

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.

Thursday, October 14, 2010 Extra Large Brass Ibrik Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It will do the job, but is really plain.
In the pictures it appears very stylish and expensive, but it's a really basic item/cheaper materials when you look close-up.
In my opinion, slightly overpriced for the quality.
The coffee I made in it was ok, but don't expect anything extraordinary...
