How to choose a Turk for coffee

If you love coffee, then you simply need a Turk for oriental coffee . The real Turkish name for this utensil for making coffee is cezva. If you learn to use it correctly, then no drink from modern coffee makers and coffee machines can compare with your coffee.

The Turk is a ladle with a long handle, but only by choosing a properly made Turk will you prepare amazing coffee. What's the secret? Now there is a huge assortment of these dishes, and it is all the more important not to make a mistake in choosing. A good Turk should not just be thick-walled, ideally it should be multi-layered. The best Turks are made from copper, since copper has high thermal conductivity and allows the dishes to heat evenly, but the inner surface of the Turks must be coated with another metal, since copper forms harmful soluble compounds. Turks also make them from stainless steel, nickel, aluminum, clay and ceramics. In clay Turks, your drink will also get an excellent taste, but the clay absorbs odors, so you only need to brew one type of coffee in a clay Turk. You also need to take into account that clay and ceramic Turks break easily. The shape of the Turka is also important. Its neck should be narrow, its shape conical, and its bottom wide. The narrow neck of the Turka allows the foam to clog the vessel and preserve the aroma, the conical shape is necessary for better settling of the grounds, and the wide bottom quickly heats the contents. When choosing a cezve, also pay attention to the handle - it should hold firmly, be comfortable and not heat up.

It takes time to master the art of making real coffee, but if you are a true coffee gourmet, you will not regret it. There are many recipes for making coffee; you can experiment by trying Turkish, Brazilian, or Arabic coffee with burnt sugar and cinnamon. Or you can come up with your own original recipe, which may go down in history. Well, experiment!
