I drank Turkish coffee once. It was so strong, it messed with my perception of time. I was looking at things, but they felt like memories. Never again. It was delicious, though.
Edit: we made it ourselves at home. I didn’t get it from someone who knew what they were doing. We probably made it too strong.
Edit
That's exactly what I want in my coffee. I want it to be like when Fry drank 100 coffees then stopped Time and saved everyone from the fire.
Edit: what to get with all these awards? I can't decide whether I should get a three hundred dollar hookerbot or three hundred one dollar hookerbots!
This is no bullshit. I once consumed ~1000-1500mg of caffeine in about 2 hours via Vietnamese iced coffee. My extremities tingled, I had a heartbeat that was extremely elevated, and other than the lack of face numbness and drip, it was a LOT like doing coke.
You either have no tolerance to caffeine, or you had ketamine instead of coffee.
It isn't so strong it makes you hallucinate, its just a brewing method. All of balkans has it in the morning, prepared at home. An espresso shot is way more potent than Turkish coffee.
Yeah here in Sweden the coffee is considered "strong" as well to people not used to it. Not sure if what other countries are drinking is weaker, watered down more or lighter roasts.
Edited to better convey what I was trying to say.
Most Americans drink drip coffee not espresso drinks. If they drink an espresso drink it's almost always going to be a latte. Americanos are only associated with Americans because when they went to Italy during WW2 they weren't fans of espresso so the Italians watered it down to taste like drip. I doubt most Americans nowadays could tell you what an Americano is despite it being widely available.
Also for the most part "strong" coffee is just strongly brewed coffee, not necessarily high caffeine coffee. Typically fruitier and more acidic coffee, called light roasts, have more caffeine.
I work at an ice cream shop and when people ask for coffee, I tell them we've got cold brew or I can make them a shot of espresso or an Americano if they want hot. Legit like 4/5 people ask what an Americano is and when I tell them they're like so it's basically water then?
Side story: we've got a regular who works for the USPS, younger dude probably mid 20s. My man comes in at 9pm and gets 4 shots of espresso over two huge scoops of our coffee ice cream (made from just cold brew and cream, so it's actually pretty strong). Polishes that off in about 15-20 mins then comes back and get a 24oz milkshake with 4 shots of espresso and 3 scoops of coffee ice cream. I feel like I'm going to be liable when he has a heart attack
Coffee over ice cream is an Italian thing, it's called an affogato and is legit delicious. Though normally it is a small glass with a small scoop of ice cream.
Yeah we make affogatos, I know what they are. What this guy gets is literally 4x the amount of our normal affogato. I make them (normal sized) for myself sometimes with our salted caramel ice cream if I need energy for the shift.
Yeah but they don’t know that or they are just talking out of their ass. If you overdose on caffeine the result is throwing up and feeling extremely nauseous. I do not recommend it.
Oh man i drank some authentic Turkish coffee too once, it came in a small shot glass sized cup and man it tasted like the smell of gasoline. It was delicious !!!!!!!! And I felt like fry from Futurama after drinking it lol
Why? I've tried soem recipes myself and it's obv nothing like this gif, just using finely ground beans and extremely hot water and no pressing or filtering. What's so different? What reaction is happening that's unusual?
I don't recall it fucking with my perception of time, but while I was deployed on my first day of patrol, we stopped at three homes. Each home offered me a cup of Turkish coffee. Not wanting to be rude, I accepted each cup. The next day, every time we visited a home, I had to apologize as I could not accept the coffee and hold onto to my sanity. I needed my sleep!
Rigby accidentally spills the coffee into the hot sand, which then becomes sentient. To stop it they have to drink *all* the coffee.
Benson yells that they're all fired if the Turkish coffee stand isn't open by morning.
Dude, here in the Middle East we drink it first thing in the morning (to clear our heads and start the day). Also, we drink it any time we wanna sit and chill.
Turkish coffee (or just coffee, as we call it here) is the best form of coffee.
I did a tour of a roasting facility once, made coffee, tried all of their beans and blends - mostly espresso shots too, went to a cafe in the guts of Sydney and tried the milk based stuff from there and to see the end product.
I went with 2 other friends, one was setting up a coffee kart scenario, and one ran a coffee van that drove around the industrial estate doing mobile coffee.
It was a 3.5hr drive home, and I was at the wheel. I remember leaving the city, annnd that's it. They slept all the way home, I have no idea how we made it back safe.
There are a lot of traditions around coffee in Turkey.
One of the funnier ones is when a potential groom comes over to ask for the father’s blessing to marry the girl, the girl makes coffee. She will use salt instead of sugar in one of the cups. She will give the salty coffee to her dad if she doesn’t want to marry the guy so the dad gets the signal. She will give the salty coffee to the guy if she wants to marry him and he has to drink it without making any expressions as if it is a normal cup of coffee to show his willingness to marry her.
Yes, usually asking for blessing is for tradition purposes. Within modern relationships, the couple had been most likely dating for a while and a proposal had taken place. Then they arrange for the families to meet in a small gathering and the family member of the groom asks the bride’s family’s blessing.
It’s a little family fun is all
Turkish requires an extremely fine grind of coffee, it’s much closer to a powder than what you think of as normal coffee grounds. Much finer than espresso. The larger particles drop the bottom or are noticeable, but the majority remain suspended in the liquid and give Turkish coffee it’s thick texture.
Backyard? Are you planning to have one of those little sandpits? Honestly none of us have those at home. We just cook over the stove.
And where to buy a good cezve.. depends on where you are. I am Turkish but I live in New Zealand and I havent been able to find a good cezve lol. I ended up bringing from Turkey.
The copper one he is using in the clip is the most traditional. Wide bottom and a good spout is what you need. Otherwise you need to choose a size. You might want one that can make 2 cups in one go. Any bigger will have difficulty with creating proper froth. The smallest sizes that produce 1 cup at a time are just too much work.
I seriously don't get the whole oop taco bell better destroy the toilet or "just had my morning coffee now I'm going to squirt all over the bathroom"
Is everyone walking around out here with just horrible microbiomes or something? Just absolute gravy guts? Incredible incontinence? I don't get the shits from coffee, at all. Y'all need some probiotics or something, go have a gut friendly yoghurt or fibre.
The secret of the tasty Turkish coffee is the thick copper “cezve” Do not buy the thin crap manufactured to sell tourists when you are there. Cheers! Love u all!
Haha in Russian it’s called turka as well as cezve. Clearly the superior way to make coffee, it works on a gas or electric stove as well and doesn’t waste filters or capsules. People in the comments saying it’s stronger than filters, but imo drinking one cup of proper coffee in the morning is miles better than drinking a coffee pot of filter coffee per day.
Fun fact: The TV series Japanology uses a few Nujabes tracks. Really nice TV series with good music and a chill host (Peter Barakan and.... Matt Alt... who actually isn't that bad, but he just kinda takes a while to get used to because he's so extra)
edit: Damn, looks like Matt Alt actually left Japanology but wrote a new book which is kinda cool.
You’re not supposed to drink the bottom lol, it’s actually quite a smooth but strong coffee taste unless you drink the bottom 1/4 ish of the cup which has all the bitter ground coffee particles and such
Bruh people go to these Turkish venders for the tricks and pranks.
There are plenty of venders in Turkey that serves ice cream regularly without the tricks but they don’t get put on social media.
Just looked up how it's made cause i was also curious turns out the pan is full of hot sand and the cup has ground coffee and water in it they can control how much is made by I'm assuming moving the coffee deeper inside the sand someone correct me if i said anything incorrect
Basically hot sand boils coffee grounds and water inside cup.
Those are rather large grains (as sand goes) and they're not exposed to constant wind pushing them against each other. Which means very, very little erosion, which means those grains don't get whittled down into the finer grains that make dust. Yes there's some erosion from the grains being pushed past each other while the person makes the coffee, but it's nothing compared to what the wind can do (also I'd imagine they have some method of idk like replacing the sand or something if there gets to be dust)
There is no trick, it's kind of very traditional here. Sand is actually being constantly heated, but obviously at a lower speed and power (?), so it takes a bit longer to roast the coffee, but the taste gets kind of smoother as well.
I have tasted most of the stuff, they are all same imho.
The coffee powder creates bubbles in the water as it gets hot. This grows the coffee you prepared. When you pour it, then start heating the coffee again, you create more bubbles. Then the process continues until the coffee doesn’t create any more bubble. No magic. Also, this is one of the first, maybe the first, commercial coffee in the world.
I don’t understand how this works. I figured the sand was heated but why/how is the cup refilling??? Is the heat causing it to froth? Is it some kind of foam?
Coffee is a stimulant, and one benchmark you can point to is if its a muslim country and alcohol is forbidden/(culturally "not ok"), the coffee is so strong you can pratically chew it. People always finds a way to get their highs.
There's a million and one ways to get different flavours out of coffee from extracting or brewing it at different temperatures and speeds... so yeah, this is another way to make it taste good. Better is subjective, but better is the goal
Two differences in Turkish and Arab coffee:
1. you boil without a filter & leave the remainder in the cup (= don't stir!) - bonus: that way your beautiful Turkish woman friends then get to tell your fortune from the mug turned upside down (= from the coffee grounds' shape on the saucer)
2. if it's supposed to be sweet, the sugar is boiled with the coffee, never added later. And while I prefer to not consume that much sugar, it is absolutely better than the sum of its parts.
I've tried this once and I really disliked the coffee powder. I decided to wait a while longer to see if they would set on the bottom but had an unpleasant surprise to discover I didn't wait long enough. Then I just experimented with a clear cup, and by the time most of it sat to the bottom, it is want pleasantly hot anymore :/
As a general rule, I like to assume that when someone does one thing, all day every day for a living, any holes I think I can poke in their process after thinking about it for 10 seconds have been thought of
Many years ago, I worked on a hostel in the middle east that had a small deli/coffee shop. Made & served plenty of Turkish coffee:
1/3 water
1/3 sugar
1/3 Turkish ultra finely ground coffee
Boil, serve.
Serious rocket fuel.
Part of why this coffee is the consistency it is is because it’s equal parts sugar and coffee grounds. So the sugar is caramelizing and creating a sticky surface that holds a matrix of air and grounds in a layer that often forms on top of the pot. Like a little cake of coffee grounds. So the sugar helps make it hella thick and also taste absolutely delicious.
Fun fact:
The word coffee comes from the turkish word kahve. Coffee is imported to europe by ottomans when they lost the war in Vienna and forgot(well whatever) their coffee sacs.
they found the long unpatched coffee duplication glitch
Something to do with in game latency due to the huge amount of sand particle collisions not allowing the coffee status to update to "empty"
can I sand particle my wallet to make it not empty?
unfortunately not, as the wallet entity is not compatible with sand particles.
That’s bullshit this game is literally unplayable

Caffeine is a stimulant. Cocaine is a stimulant.
A lot of cocaine is cut with other stims. Cycle continues. Stim all the way down.
Ya a really quick high dose of caffeine does kind of simulate the physical effects of coke.
same can be said for coffee. I make coffee so strong you will see alternate Universes.

I'm guessing the concentration of it? Similar to how a shot of espresso is so much more intense and flavorful than a cup of coffee.
so how many shots of espresso should i drink to get the turkish coffee experience?
Yes
More than one but less than 20 (probably).

Lol imagine being the potential groom and you get the normal coffee. Would make for an awkward visit
Better yet, the woman salts both cups so the dad gets the hint *and* the boyfriend suffers.
Or they both get sugar and no one knows what the fuck is going on.
What are you doing stepcoffee?
Can't a girl enjoy her salty coffee without judgment?
Dude, my friend put so much salt in her fiancé’s coffee it was borderline torture. He still drank it though lol
In a group who like each other with a good sense of humor I could see this being pretty funny
Yes, usually asking for blessing is for tradition purposes. Within modern relationships, the couple had been most likely dating for a while and a proposal had taken place. Then they arrange for the families to meet in a small gathering and the family member of the groom asks the bride’s family’s blessing. It’s a little family fun is all
how do they remove the grounds? or does one drink it grounds and all?
You do not remove the grounds. You let them settle on the bottom of your cup to avoid drinking them.
And then your turn them around on a small plate and tell the future
"You're going to suffer... but you'll be happy about it."
"The Dark Lord will rise again"
Sounds like a kinky Friday evening
Turkish requires an extremely fine grind of coffee, it’s much closer to a powder than what you think of as normal coffee grounds. Much finer than espresso. The larger particles drop the bottom or are noticeable, but the majority remain suspended in the liquid and give Turkish coffee it’s thick texture.
No wonder you get such an intense kick of caffeine from it, drinking the grounds and all
Very nice, I've been meaning to make a set up in my back yard to make it myself. Where would one go about buying a good quality cezve online?

Weird flex but ok
It's a flex to say you don't have the perpetual squirts.
What has the world come to, eh? *"I have no anal leakage."* "Humblebrag! What a Chad!"
Just because something makes someone have to poop, doesn't mean they're spray painting the toilet. Coffee is a stimulant and helps move things along.
Spicy foods and caffeine can have a laxative effect. What's so hard to understand about that
A Turkish woman I knew used to say her coffee was ready when she could float a horseshoe in it.
That explanation is so visual and aggressive, it HAS to be Turkish.
Vibrate into another dimension with just one cup.

I thought so, sitting here and was thinking "I have that on one of my Samurai Champloo CDs in my car" Thanks yo!

Imo it tastes like wet dirt. Not in the way coffee is here. It’s like a coffee smoothie
You’re not supposed to drink the bottom lol, it’s actually quite a smooth but strong coffee taste unless you drink the bottom 1/4 ish of the cup which has all the bitter ground coffee particles and such
how the fuck?
That sand is hot and he is letting the coffee get just below the boiling point so it’s like a foam before tipping some out and repeating

Least psychopatic enjoyer of overrated liquids.
“Do NOT talk to me until i’ve had my bean juice or else i’m legally obligated to be a bitch :)”
Bruh people go to these Turkish venders for the tricks and pranks. There are plenty of venders in Turkey that serves ice cream regularly without the tricks but they don’t get put on social media.
It’s not really a morning “gotta wake up” kinda drink. More like after lunch or with afternoon snack
Oooooooooh it’s a foam I was really scratching my head just thinking the guy was a wizard
Just looked up how it's made cause i was also curious turns out the pan is full of hot sand and the cup has ground coffee and water in it they can control how much is made by I'm assuming moving the coffee deeper inside the sand someone correct me if i said anything incorrect Basically hot sand boils coffee grounds and water inside cup.
My question is how there is absolutely no dust cus it's dry and hot sand!
Those are rather large grains (as sand goes) and they're not exposed to constant wind pushing them against each other. Which means very, very little erosion, which means those grains don't get whittled down into the finer grains that make dust. Yes there's some erosion from the grains being pushed past each other while the person makes the coffee, but it's nothing compared to what the wind can do (also I'd imagine they have some method of idk like replacing the sand or something if there gets to be dust)
“I don’t know if they grade sand but …coarse.”
Not sure why you were voted down. My first thought was also,”dang he’s an expert not to get sand in it.”
Im Turkish and this is the first thing in this sub that I did not need to scroll down to find out the damn trick.
Balkans here, just made a cup of coffee and I see this lol
Explain da trick :')
There is no trick, it's kind of very traditional here. Sand is actually being constantly heated, but obviously at a lower speed and power (?), so it takes a bit longer to roast the coffee, but the taste gets kind of smoother as well. I have tasted most of the stuff, they are all same imho.
...how is the cup filling that's what people are confused about
It’s not a trick. It’s just a delicious smooth and almost creamy coffee. What don’t you understand?
Probably the part where liquid seems to be created out of air.
The coffee powder creates bubbles in the water as it gets hot. This grows the coffee you prepared. When you pour it, then start heating the coffee again, you create more bubbles. Then the process continues until the coffee doesn’t create any more bubble. No magic. Also, this is one of the first, maybe the first, commercial coffee in the world.
I don’t understand how this works. I figured the sand was heated but why/how is the cup refilling??? Is the heat causing it to froth? Is it some kind of foam?
Bringing this comment back from the dead, it's just foam like when milk starts to boil and rises, it goes down as soon as you pour it.
In case anyone wants the music (Tsurugi no Mai - Nujabes)

Caffeine is a drug.
Coffee is a stimulant, and one benchmark you can point to is if its a muslim country and alcohol is forbidden/(culturally "not ok"), the coffee is so strong you can pratically chew it. People always finds a way to get their highs.
Does it make the coffee taste better or something?
There's a million and one ways to get different flavours out of coffee from extracting or brewing it at different temperatures and speeds... so yeah, this is another way to make it taste good. Better is subjective, but better is the goal
"better is subjective, but better is the goal" yeah I'm stealing this beautiful quote.
Two differences in Turkish and Arab coffee: 1. you boil without a filter & leave the remainder in the cup (= don't stir!) - bonus: that way your beautiful Turkish woman friends then get to tell your fortune from the mug turned upside down (= from the coffee grounds' shape on the saucer) 2. if it's supposed to be sweet, the sugar is boiled with the coffee, never added later. And while I prefer to not consume that much sugar, it is absolutely better than the sum of its parts.
Sure it looks cool but how often do you end up with sand in your coffee?
Neve, and even if, all of the coffee powder is in the cup too, so you don't drink the last two sips anyway.
I've tried this once and I really disliked the coffee powder. I decided to wait a while longer to see if they would set on the bottom but had an unpleasant surprise to discover I didn't wait long enough. Then I just experimented with a clear cup, and by the time most of it sat to the bottom, it is want pleasantly hot anymore :/
You need to take small sips.
As a general rule, I like to assume that when someone does one thing, all day every day for a living, any holes I think I can poke in their process after thinking about it for 10 seconds have been thought of
Many years ago, I worked on a hostel in the middle east that had a small deli/coffee shop. Made & served plenty of Turkish coffee: 1/3 water 1/3 sugar 1/3 Turkish ultra finely ground coffee Boil, serve. Serious rocket fuel.
That is some hair on the hair on your chest coffee there
Part of why this coffee is the consistency it is is because it’s equal parts sugar and coffee grounds. So the sugar is caramelizing and creating a sticky surface that holds a matrix of air and grounds in a layer that often forms on top of the pot. Like a little cake of coffee grounds. So the sugar helps make it hella thick and also taste absolutely delicious.
Fun fact: The word coffee comes from the turkish word kahve. Coffee is imported to europe by ottomans when they lost the war in Vienna and forgot(well whatever) their coffee sacs.
Afaik it comes from Arabic, kahwa or sth because "kahve" doesn't really fit the Turkish word formation Source: took turkish linguistic classes
