Does Turkish coffee taste like Greek coffee? I know they're made the same way

have any of you guys tried making your own Turkish at home? I'm thinking about trying it, surely it can't be too difficult?

The idea is not to understand coffee, it's to drink it.

Just fyi

have never drank a cup of coffee in my life. no interest.


LOVE coffee flavoured desserts tho. for days.

I can walk out of my house and be back in 20 minutes with coffee from any country in the world. You know we have shops and stuff right?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

Coffee is standard in my daily routine.

I factor in 30mins extra in my morning routine to grind beans, brew, and drink coffee. With milk only. Will however drink it black if I don't have any milk.

Most often times, I'll brew another for the commute to college, and will always try to consume an americano (iced during spring/summer) before gym.

I cut myself off of coffee though at around noon. Hate the anxiousness, and inability to sleep soundly.

I'm an avid Tea drinker too in the p.m. and when I don't have any coffee.

Been brewing blended Red Label & Kangra Tea, and chilling it in the fridge the past week.

Better refreshment then coffee, anytime, any day.


















Want dat cafeïne.

Apparently (QI, I believe) the performance increase from coffee is all perceived - it works as a long-term depressant and a short-term stimulant, so regular coffee drinkers have lower general energy levels which rise to that of a non-user after a cup.

I've definitely noticed a similar effect with caffeine-rich fizzy drinks, but it's difficult to drink as many of them as people do cups of coffee in an office. My boss has 4 shots in his Starbucks twice a day... dude's going to DIE.

Edit: Having said that, some researchers also say you can correlate periods of widespread caffeine use with spurts in human development and technological progress, so perhaps a perceived benefit is just as effective as an actual one.

coffee makes my working days exciting

OP must be drinking some shitty coffee. it tastes amazing. I love it and have been an addict for a long while but now it gives me anxiety.
only if i dont drink it i get splitting headaches and miss the flavor. damned if i do/don't.

i don't put anything in it. only drink quality stuff

Indeed and most of the perceived problems are probably down to non-regular drinkers getting freaked out by rapid heart-rate which doesn't tend to affect long-term users; but it's worth keeping in mind that it's difficult to prove the long term effects of almost anything with such wide use - it would be almost impossible to quantify the effect caffeine has had at the end of a life of countless other variables (perhaps people who drink a lot of coffee also tend to have a high level of stress?) ... even with Tobacco use, many people would still prefer we were told "Studies show Tobacco may be bad for your health" rather than "Smoking kills!" when it's fairly clear from individual experience that it makes you feel like shit in the long-run... proving these trends beyond reasonable doubt is nigh-on impossible, so it's probably best to exercise at least a little bit of caution with anything that affects your heart as immediately as caffeine even if there isn't a warning label on the packet.

some studies have shown coffee has a protective effect in alzeimers

working a shitty office job without coffee would not be possible

I make it everyday. Not difficult but i would recommend getting the Turkish coffee pot. Add a large amount of coffee to cold water, stir coffee into water and put on a medium heat. The idea is to cook it fairly slow to get the maximum infusion from the beans. I keep stirring regularly and take it off just before it starts to boil. Let it sit in your glass for 30 seconds or so to let the coffee settle.

Make sure your beans are ground as finely as possible though, the pre-ground stuff you buy in most shops isn't fine enough.

Another +1 for Turkish coffee. I haven't tried to make it at home, mainly out of laziness. But had a lot in Istanbul

Coffee in Brazil was lovely too.

Generally speaking coffee is just lovely. If you don't like it, you will eventually, and if you haven't tried it, you're missing out

Fresh ground coffee made in the moka, lil spliff and watching butterflies on the jasmine in the garden. Is life beautifully this real? Am I in a song?

Used to drink coffee at least twice a week for about a month, I stopped cause I couldn't sleep and had to take so much shits
