Making Turkish coffee

Making Turkish coffee for me is like a lottery sometimes. Sometimes succeed, sometimes it will look like a tea (the way my boyfriend says), even though I put same amount of coffee in it. Personally I prefer when it looks like a tea, I don't like the pieces of brew on the top. And sometimes I forget it and next moment it explodes. Any experiences with Turkish coffee? I tried cooking it few times since I'm in Egypt. Otherwise I usually make Americano style. Little bit sweet, instead of sugar a dash of vanilla or caramel syrup and some cream. I love cold brew too. How do you like your coffee?

@m_audrey6788 Yes it's very nice. It's popular in all Europe too, called mocca. :) I like sometimes also matcha cappuccino. Cappuccino mixed with matcha green tea powder. Matcha is really good for your health, I could write a whole article about it. :)

I drink this coffee most often and I like it the most. Nothing is easier than making Turkish coffee, here the 'kids' learn it first to prepare for their parents. Pour water into a cup (like this cup in the picture) sugar to taste and can be without sugar who does not like, when the water boils, remove from the heat and pour one full teaspoon of Turkish coffee, stir well and return to the stove until the foam starts to rise, that's it! There is another way of preparation (Greek) but I do not prepare that way...I start each day with a cup of this coffee

Nice! It's very strong for me though..Here people just mix coffee and sugar with water then they put it to boil. But I'll try the other way too. :)

@Alexandra_bright So that's how the Greeks prepare, put everything together and bring to a boil. But I prepare it in a different way and yes, you're right, it's quite strong, but when I don't drink that coffee in the morning, I have a headache all day, a matter of habit, I would say (and I drink with sugar)

Americano is long black coffee, made with lots of water, Turkish coffee is much stronger, like an espresso but bit bigger in size and they don't separate the coffee grinds from the coffee, it goes to the buttom of the coffee while cooking and some on the top. They cook Turkish coffee in ibrik (like the one on the photo) on the fire or stow. I hope I explained it ok, wasn't very professional explanation ??
