Turk for oriental coffee

A prerequisite for preparing real oriental coffee is the use of a cezve, popularly known as a Turk . Using a coffee machine or any other equipment to prepare this drink undoubtedly saves the baristo time and effort, but will not allow you to convey the rich and intense coffee taste.

When choosing a Turkish coffee, you need to pay attention to a large number of little things that affect the quality of coffee. For example, the choice of material. A common option is to use stainless steel or aluminum due to the durability of the material, but it can add a metallic flavor to the coffee taste. Ceramic and clay ones allow you to warm up the drink well, but they themselves are very fragile and, in addition, the clay absorbs the smell, so in such Turks you can only prepare one type of coffee.

The best solution is a copper Turk. High thermal conductivity makes it possible to heat the coffee evenly, fully revealing its taste and aroma. In order to prevent the formation of a harmful compound, copper Turks are coated with food-grade tin from the inside.

The shape of the Turks also plays an important role. The correct Turk has a conical shape. The bottom of the Turka should be 2-3 times larger than the neck. The greater the difference between them, the faster the ground grains will settle during cooking.

For better taste and proper preparation technology, we recommend that you use oriental coffee machines , which you can also buy from us.
