I had this odd feeling that Liam Neeson was talking to me & narrating in his voice from "Taken", only talking about how great Turkish Coffee is instead! Love it!!
I was fortunate enough to become friends with an exchange student from Croatia. I discovered this young man drank Turkish coffee so we settled on Saturday mornings to meet for coffee. I had a Turkish Pot (Cezve) and a Turkish grinder (a Zassenhaus} already and he was well versed in the preparation. He showed me how his family had made their coffee, they used an equal amount of sugar and ground coffee and performed the standard three boil method. I have since experimented with several techniques as offered by various RUclipsrs, with varying success. I have yet to attempt brewing without sugar, but may attempt this in the near future. Thank you for this very informative video.
@@wendstudio_coffee hell I drink mostly basic coffee like Folger's Black Silk or any other dark roast, even I can tell you this much. No sugar black, one tablespoon black, milk and no sugar, milk and a tablespoon... That's 4 entirely different flavors and I haven't even changed the bean. I need a pot that isn't burning my grounds tho.
Right way is to put a sugar cube, turkish delight or teaspoon of honey beside and take a taste of sweetness after bitterness of coffee. And must take time, do not rush. Way you described is a fast student way to get sugar/caffeine rush.
There was a little shop on my town that belonged to a middle eastern family. They sold all kinds of foods from their homeland. I would sit at there little table by the window, and enjoy a small cup of Turkish coffee. It really is amazing. The flavors were fantastic and would take my time drinking the small cup.
@@crazywisdom2 well, it's coffee, and one of my favorite preparations, but it's not espresso, or a lingo, or drip coffee, or French Press, or ... It's it's own thing. Consider this analogy: with wheat flour, you can make all sorts of things - sourdough, a fluffy Dutch Baby, shortbread, gravy, or even a cake. Those are all very different things, but they're all made from flour.
This reminds me of a time in college where a teammate from Turkiye made us coffee one evening and it was the best, from the flavor and consistency, to the art/science of making it, to the company we shared. It was equally about the company with each other as it was the coffee, and I've never had that from coffee before. Thanks for this video!

Thank you. I've made a shorter version which is packed with more information recently. But for sure, there are a lot of details which are possible to play with.

It did change how I brew Turkish coffee and also to the acclaim of my family and my guests on the Christmas party. Thanks for the video phenomenal approach and explanation!
I'm preparing the update though. And there is a fresh update about when to mix (already published). Those directions will definitely help to get a consistent result, but the flavor could be even better
I moved to Croatia about 20 years ago and I've been taking my kava like this ever since. The flavor and aroma is really the best and you get a good strong kick 💪. Definitely not for the weak!
The kick could be different) I mostly have bigger impact from double espresso. But the most powerful in terms of kick was definitely "cowbow coffee". Very tough for the heart, while with this method - don't have any signs, no jitters like from pour over
I live in Texas, the US is nice. I’ve always heard Croatia is very pretty and an awesome place to visit. It’s not normally on people’s top list to visit but it is on my list!
This looks absolutely wonderful. I wasn't even aware of Turkish coffee until a number of years ago, but only just more recently was made aware that it wasn't just a thing, it was a THING. Seeing it brewed like this has me insanely curious, and as soon as my life calms down a little I'm absolutely going to try this.
It definitely will be worth it. Especially with some specialty coffee. Though, it takes around 15-20 minutes to enjoy it properly from the start of the brewing to the last sip)
I love coffee, this looks like an art too. I loved seeing the sand bank. First time seeing one on a stove. Can’t wait to try Turkish coffee. Thanks for sharing.
I accidentally make something like this whenever I have coffee. I put a handful of ground coffee (usually Folgers or whatever I can get cheap) into a large cup with some sugar. I put about quarter-cup of boiled water on top, stir it a little, then microwave it for about 20 seconds... until it starts to 'grow' out of the cup, similar to what is shown in the video. I add more boiled water, stir and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I pour it thru a tea strainer into another cup.
I had coffee prepared by a little old Lebanese lady before work every morning for a few years in my early twenties. My bosses mom at the time. I have such fond memories that i bought a pot like hers 30 years later and some Turkish grind coffee. I wish i could figure out the seasoning she put in it. She couldn't translate that. She served it sweet and strong
I do coffee in a cezve pretty often these days and I'm Italian. I love coffee made in many ways but the one in a cezve is probably very high in my chart. I also make a nice foam. I dont grind it myself, too much work lol but i have some experience and im happy to see that the way i do it is very similar to how you do it
Oddly enough this is how coffee was made where/when I first started drinking coffee, but I've never made it this way myself, so now I know how to do it carefully and correctly.
This actually did change my life. i was skeptical. very skeptical. Mostly because I had to laboriously grind my coffee very fine to make Turkish coffee. Holy shit was it so worth it.
Like any other brewing method, mostly dependent on the bean and grind quality. It's not bad, but usually takes a few cups before someone develops a taste for it. If you ever visit Serbia and ask for a coffee, you will be served with this one. Great thing about it is that it doesn't require any expensive appliances and only takes a few minutes to prepare one. Strongly recommend you give it a try, it just might surprise you.
Amazing content! Thankyou - I've gone from knowing nothing about this form of coffee to wanting to give it a whirl. My late uncle ONLY ever drank Turkish coffee. I'll be thinking of him when I try this out.
In the recent video I've checked... You can totally start from just a stainless steel pitcher instead of Cezve. Glad that the information is useful. Though, there are a videos with brewings where I try to add some layers of knowledge. Hard to get everything in one video. And as for the brewing, this method may be different from "authentic Turkish coffee". I've just researched this method to have a balanced cup in terms of flavor and extraction. Will try the authentic method soon and see what's the difference (except more frothy foam)
The reason I love Turkish coffee is that it's consistant, reliable, full bodied, and delicious everytime. It hasn't changed my life, but it definetly has been a wonderful addition
@@wendstudio_coffee Yes indeed: I also drink a lot of espresso and greatly appreciate the info the Hoff et al have broadcast allowing me to fine tune the taste. Your content has done the same with briki product. To date my method has been the result of watching hundreds of cups made whilst giving my feet a break (I walked around a thousand miles each summer) so it was crude - let it rise thrice then pour, with no understanding of how to guage the extraction.
This was the difficulty for me since when I started to make it for my parents. I didn't know how to control the taste so that it'll be the best coffee I can serve. Champions didn't help either with their fixed brewing time which is hard to replicate. It simply didn't work for me. So I started to develop the method which can produce the best cup everytime and everyone can replicate it with whatever equipment they have. But I'm still improving it's because "practice makes better". And found the biggest issue that people could have with the foam, will make a video about this soon
There's an important video about the foam mixing just in case it'll not work from the first time ;) But yes, I haven't seen any good info, that's why it took a very long time and hundreds of cups brewed for experiments in order to unlock it
well since you grinded the coffee beans into a powder, you don't get that typical grainy coffee grounds. instead the coffee grounds settle to the bottom similar to if you made a protein shake, and the powder falls to the bottom. it forms a bit of a thick layer on the bottom of the cup. it gets even thicker if you let it cool down to room temp
Found this very interesting thank you! I drink coffee starting when I wake up until nine 10 o’clock at night black and I grind my own beans I use a pour over coffee maker to make a pot at a time since I drink at least one pot a day… Definitely going to get this gear so I can treat myself and guest to Turkish coffee …I’ve heard of it but had no idea what the method was
I also drink mostly filter coffee, but this is the coffee I can easily consume in the evening just for the mood. Though, be aware that it'll take around 10 minutes to cool down properly in a cup) Not a quick beverage. But because of unique taste it provides - priceless experience
Had this at a turkish cafe and not really a fan of how much sediments in the beverage. Tasted ok for the coffee but I'd still take my espresso machine over this method especially from first impression the liquid needs to be filtered.
It's probably the most popular spice which people tend to add. Fits perfectly. But it's possible to get a lot of interesting tastes with just a coffee ;)
After just partly watching this I am going to have to try it. I actually have an ibrik somewhere but I always make my coffee with a Bodum. But I am having to reduce my coffee intake and I think if I can only make one cup a day, it should be the best!
That's for sure. If caffeine intake is a thing, I suspect it's better to use light roast coffee (since it's usually growing higher and should have less amount of it)
Thank you!) I hope more people will enjoy a properly brewed one. In my native language, video already got 2m views (here's actually why I created this merch "Make Cezve Great Again")
Roaster got it on a local market, so the only possible way is to use "Google lens" to make search easier. You can take a screenshot and do a search by photo as well
Why am I not getting the caramel foam? I have the right pot, I have the coffee ground very small (I use cardamon coffee). I add one teaspoon of sugar and one heaping teaspoon of coffee to the Ibrik and stir a bit. Then I put on med heat. Then it either boils over or I get no foam. I've tried 5-6 times now. No beautiful creamy foam. I'm getting a little upset . I've watched tons of videos. Yours is great by the way but Im still having trouble. Anyone wanna give me some advice? Thanks
And the most important part: brew a perfect cup without sugar first. Then you'll know, that it's easy to drink it without sugar. And otherwise it'll be impossible to adjust the taste, it'll mostly be the same - boring. It's like eating a sweet apple... It's already sweet. Sugar will ruin the nuances of taste. Even one spoon. Also, if you want creamy foam at the top, like cappuccino, it's better to get authentic Turkish coffee grinder. Makes a huge difference.
There is an important video about mixing. If you have an issue with the coffee just boiling out or there is no white foam - watch it it'll fix everything ruclips.net/video/IBqQA6QVLFw/видео.html
I get Peruvian coffee from Aldi to grind for my French press. I stopped adding sugar years ago and drink it black. Once I stopped adding sugar I noticed the full flavor of the coffee with hints of chocolate and nuts. I would never go back to adding sugar or cream to my coffee. I'll have to try this Turkish method next.
When I was very young and living in Toronto I got into a love affair with sublime Turkish coffee at the Lothean Muse ( sp.) . It was allways heaven's perfection in a cup ❤ .
@wenstudio amazing video thank you very much! Just have 1 question, why can't you make smaller cups in larger cezve? I have a 380ml cezve, is 150ml too little?
I like this video I have used a greek stainless steel briki for years now I do like it. I do feel bad so many comments on here are so very very bitter.
They're not bitter at all) They just didn't try a properly brewed cup. Mostly because they don't have a good coffee. Or had an experience only with commercially brewed one (which just can't be at the level which you can get at home... even super specialty coffee shops serve bad coffee time to time)
Having that I live on Balkans, I have been drinking turkish cofee quite some for years, you might guess. My taste slowly shifted towards Americano first, and then to espresso when i got myself a good Breville espresso machine. Now i never drink turkish coffee except for cases when visiting family 😊
Original video gained 2m+ views, that's what inspired me to created this merch print) which is now become the logo. There will be more content about Cezve soon. But at least the basics is here. More case scenarios could be helpful, but I don't see much feedback in the comments under such videos as brewing some coffee and trying to describe what I feel and how I approach it etc
Well, depends) If you use light roast it'll be a pretty normal intensity. And if you brew it towards balance (like this video allows to). Because if you do it the traditional way, it probably will be impossible to consume a big volume. And in that case, small cup is definitely the way to go. But this approach allows to get something closer to filter coffee if you wish. Slightly increase the grind size and it's more drinkable right away
My favorite for my Kafes I would recommend you to try diffrent grounds of the Balkans arabs and Cyprus that are made for the Briki/cevze . My favorite one is still between laikou / charalambous . I have tried loumidis and illy as well may be sombodies else favorite not mine but I think it would be interesting to see the diffrent blends
If you filter it using paper filter... But there is no point of doing that) it's easier to make a moka pot coffee. But you can just add milk after serving coffee in a cup
Don't actually remember is it included with the kettle or not. 99 that it is. But the numbers are tiny, hard to see the temperature. Better to use a bigger one (at least when it comes to precision) ruclips.net/video/k_4-BnIYZo0/видео.html
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I don’t drink Turkish coffee but here I am on amazon shopping for one… my question, does the shape of the czezve matter? I’m seeing a mix of stout pots and others that are more tapered like the ones you show in the video.
With my approach the shape doesn't matter that much. It's good if the pot will be narrow at a top, but I've tried brewing even in a milk pitcher. Harder to control because it's wide, but it worked. As long as it looks beautiful, it'll work fine)
That's a hard question. Relatively. Have you tried chalk? And fat milk. This sensation on the tongue will remind you of milk. while some coffee will be like dry wine.
It's possible to have a lower amount of caffeine :) if brewed like in a video, it'll stay pretty reasonable even for evening. And with some specialty Arabica of course
I worked at the foreign peoples house and they would invite me to drink this coffee with them in the evening with a cigarette. They said it was turkish coffee. It was awesome experience. I wish i could thank them now.
The production value of your videos is awesome. Have you ever considered getting paid to speak online? I bet you a lot of companies would hire you out to hear your story.
😂 thanks. I don't speak English, just recording the voice overs from time to time. And I like to control it, but the booth is needed for proper recording. Barely fit in the closet)
It's possible to drink it without any filtration. After cooling down in the cup for 3+ minutes, coffee particles will sink down. Coffee will be clean. And "muddy" layer at the bottom... Yes, tricky to drink but still possible to avoid drinking particles. You can use paper filters to filter it, but coffee will be different and not that complex. Also you can take off the foam using 2 spoons if you're not a fan. It's pretty flexible
It'll still be hot. Especially if served in a ceramic cup. Double wall glass - probably even longer. I recommend waiting at least 2 minutes, just to make sure that particles sunk. As for the taste - at room temperature it'll be more interesting in terms of taste. When hot - usually there is not a lot of flavors in coffee in general. Meaning, harder for receptors to perceive something. I recommend trying warm coffee as well
@@wendstudio_coffee Thank you, my Friend has pointed this out to me. I just find if I let it cool down, I drink it in one swallow, so still miss out. But I will definitely try your method, and let you know
Interesting to hear what was the reaction. Was it worth trying or not. But I will pay attention to the balance of taste before deciding if it's a good method. If it's brewed correctly - you'll not be disappointed
Thank you!) I've recently viewed the video on April coffee channel. Patrik brewed coffee in Türkiye and mentioned that people there mostly drink dark roast. Is light roast for Cezve a rare thing?
Awesome video sir! True Turkish coffee is delightful. Had it plenty of times in Istanbul and Marmaris over the years when over in fantastic Turkey 👌 I am lucky enough to own a Jura z10, which whips me up a pretty decent mug whenever I need one. But it was a joy to watch a proper Turkish coffee done from start to finish. That looks like a nice coffee! 👏
It's a different approach, I'll soon try an "authentic technique" which should produce a different cup flavor. Turned out, they consume mostly dark roast which I didn't know. This video will help to produce some balanced flavor like an espresso
@@wendstudio_coffee It is often sold as "Double Roasted" over here. But I prefer Turkish coffee made from milder roasts with medium acidity. Direct contact with the heat source changes the coffee's taste a lot, so double roast dark beans may be why some visitors find it like a little cup of poison.
would this work well with raw cacao powder? i feel like the grain size is comparable already to cacao powder so perhaps this is a better way to make it.
Nothing to do with the cacao. Coffee extraction is under 30%, while cacao is 100 of the powder is being consumed. So there is no need to control the extraction process on cacao
@@wendstudio_coffee ahh ok, i suppose the makes sense. Has anyone tried it this way to see the result? it may still be a better way to make cacao maybe?
Why would you want it?) You can mix the top of the foam slightly so that the particles will "disconnect" from the foam and sink. And then - just don't drink the residue. But if you want cappuccino - 1. better to use moka pot 2. You can use a ceramic filter - dripper to filter the Turkish coffee. Or an AeroPress. But you'll lose a lot of flavor that way
Big one and empty or with the coffee? The one with the coffee - it's called "ZH Athina", but it's not that ergonomic. Empty - also ZH, but 270 ml. Potentially, can add them to my eBay store (270 just wasn't that popular and I removed it). But pretty sure they're available in other places
They have Patina version of Athina. I use it for 7-10g dose. But for me, Mediterranean art is way better in both aesthetics and ergonomics (I have a review on the channel)
If I like sugar with my coffee, when should I add it? Should I do it right after pouring, stir a little for the sugar, then wait a few minutes for the coffee grounds to settle to the bottom?
Hey bud, I just got my Cezve after watching your videos(Thank you by the way for showing us something interesting to introduce into our lives). I got a 120 ml used 8gs of coffee and I feel like I could have used more water because the water did not raise to the top of the pot as yours all did. Am I doing something wrong? I used a temperature gauge as well.
8g dose is the most comfortable to work with because it gives some space in case coffee will need to raise. Especially light roast. I've used 10g dose in it usually, but when coffee is too fresh or just needed to be brewed longer - the only option was to pause the heating. So it's ok that it didn't raise. The color is the thing to watch on. Temperature gauge isn't necessary, it's just a demonstration that it's not reaching 100°c, but could be used to control the brewing as well. Though, it's enough to see the color change and motion of the foam. Was there a white foam when brewing? If not, it's better to mix coffee at around 1 minute
I'm not sure I've said that. It's better to drink it when it cools down in a cup for 5 minutes after pouring out. But that's correct, you need to pour it out right after it's finished brewing

It definitely will be worth it. Especially with some specialty coffee. Though, it takes around 15-20 minutes to enjoy it properly from the start of the brewing to the last sip)
Nice video i would love to try someday soon😊
I love coffee, this looks like an art too. I loved seeing the sand bank. First time seeing one on a stove. Can’t wait to try Turkish coffee. Thanks for sharing.
It'll be easy safer to get a special heater) but in both cases, takes 10-20 minutes to heat up the sand. The result is worth it
The coffee recipe that made the world go crazy.
I accidentally make something like this whenever I have coffee. I put a handful of ground coffee (usually Folgers or whatever I can get cheap) into a large cup with some sugar. I put about quarter-cup of boiled water on top, stir it a little, then microwave it for about 20 seconds... until it starts to 'grow' out of the cup, similar to what is shown in the video. I add more boiled water, stir and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I pour it thru a tea strainer into another cup.
I had coffee prepared by a little old Lebanese lady before work every morning for a few years in my early twenties. My bosses mom at the time. I have such fond memories that i bought a pot like hers 30 years later and some Turkish grind coffee. I wish i could figure out the seasoning she put in it. She couldn't translate that. She served it sweet and strong
Usually people use cardamom as a spices, but could be anything)
Most likely cardamom. In Arabic it would be pronounced “Hal” maybe a bit of mastic too with the cardamom.
I do coffee in a cezve pretty often these days and I'm Italian. I love coffee made in many ways but the one in a cezve is probably very high in my chart. I also make a nice foam. I dont grind it myself, too much work lol but i have some experience and im happy to see that the way i do it is very similar to how you do it
Hope you've tried coffee from Gardelli already)
@@wendstudio_coffeehaven't tried yet. At home I have Kurukahveci Mehmet efendi now
Oddly enough this is how coffee was made where/when I first started drinking coffee, but I've never made it this way myself, so now I know how to do it carefully and correctly.
I assume that no one did it that way) It allows to get a balanced taste but most importantly - precisely control it
This actually did change my life. i was skeptical. very skeptical. Mostly because I had to laboriously grind my coffee very fine to make Turkish coffee. Holy shit was it so worth it.
I have a video for big grind size as well) But of course, will be a different experience
I have to be honest. I was making food, and your voice was in the background. I listened to the video on repeat like 3 times.
Haha, thanks)
Like any other brewing method, mostly dependent on the bean and grind quality. It's not bad, but usually takes a few cups before someone develops a taste for it. If you ever visit Serbia and ask for a coffee, you will be served with this one.
Great thing about it is that it doesn't require any expensive appliances and only takes a few minutes to prepare one. Strongly recommend you give it a try, it just might surprise you.
Great video thank you sharing!
Amazing content! Thankyou - I've gone from knowing nothing about this form of coffee to wanting to give it a whirl. My late uncle ONLY ever drank Turkish coffee. I'll be thinking of him when I try this out.
In the recent video I've checked... You can totally start from just a stainless steel pitcher instead of Cezve. Glad that the information is useful. Though, there are a videos with brewings where I try to add some layers of knowledge. Hard to get everything in one video.
And as for the brewing, this method may be different from "authentic Turkish coffee". I've just researched this method to have a balanced cup in terms of flavor and extraction. Will try the authentic method soon and see what's the difference (except more frothy foam)
The reason I love Turkish coffee is that it's consistant, reliable, full bodied, and delicious everytime. It hasn't changed my life, but it definetly has been a wonderful addition
Super content! Thank you. Been using a briki for forty years, since hiking Greece for 2 months every summer as a student
Wow, that's huge! I definitely need to start hiking) Was the video helpful in some way technically?
@@wendstudio_coffee Yes indeed: I also drink a lot of espresso and greatly appreciate the info the Hoff et al have broadcast allowing me to fine tune the taste.
Your content has done the same with briki product. To date my method has been the result of watching hundreds of cups made whilst giving my feet a break (I walked around a thousand miles each summer) so it was crude - let it rise thrice then pour, with no understanding of how to guage the extraction.
This was the difficulty for me since when I started to make it for my parents. I didn't know how to control the taste so that it'll be the best coffee I can serve.
Champions didn't help either with their fixed brewing time which is hard to replicate. It simply didn't work for me. So I started to develop the method which can produce the best cup everytime and everyone can replicate it with whatever equipment they have. But I'm still improving it's because "practice makes better". And found the biggest issue that people could have with the foam, will make a video about this soon
Do you drink it unfiltered?? With the ground coffee still in it?
Coffee particles are in the bottom of the cup, I don't drink them. I drink the upper layer which is clean
best explanation I've seen. Ready to break out the Cezve again!
There's an important video about the foam mixing just in case it'll not work from the first time ;) But yes, I haven't seen any good info, that's why it took a very long time and hundreds of cups brewed for experiments in order to unlock it
So you drink the coffee grinds?
I drink the top layer, which is clean like a filter coffee. The residue at the bottom will not reach your taste buds
well since you grinded the coffee beans into a powder, you don't get that typical grainy coffee grounds. instead the coffee grounds settle to the bottom similar to if you made a protein shake, and the powder falls to the bottom. it forms a bit of a thick layer on the bottom of the cup. it gets even thicker if you let it cool down to room temp
Best coffee I've ever had , anywhere.
I would suggest you add around 1 sugar cube (3/4 tsp) for each 100 grams of water.
I just shared a
Sugar just ruins the coffee 🤌🏿 Even the smallest amount - the balance is lost. It becomes flat, boring. Sugar shouldn't be in the coffee
Thank you for sharing, love turkish coffee.
Delicious coffee
thanks for the video. as a coffee lover I'm interested. link to your store?
Found this very interesting thank you! I drink coffee starting when I wake up until nine 10 o’clock at night black and I grind my own beans I use a pour over coffee maker to make a pot at a time since I drink at least one pot a day… Definitely going to get this gear so I can treat myself and guest to Turkish coffee …I’ve heard of it but had no idea what the method was
I also drink mostly filter coffee, but this is the coffee I can easily consume in the evening just for the mood. Though, be aware that it'll take around 10 minutes to cool down properly in a cup) Not a quick beverage. But because of unique taste it provides - priceless experience
Had this at a turkish cafe and not really a fan of how much sediments in the beverage. Tasted ok for the coffee but I'd still take my espresso machine over this method especially from first impression the liquid needs to be filtered.
You can't try this level of coffee in any cafe) Literally no one knew how to make it before
Your voice is as smooth as that coffee brother 🎤☕
In this exact episode it's terrible) had no voice, that's why it's very thin and dry
Yunanistan'da damla sakızıyla bi de şekerle yapıyoruz!

Sugar ruins the flavor) If coffee is interesting
its usually personal choice over here! :) I do without sugar, or with little
Best coffee is found in turkish shops in komotini!
@@wendstudio_coffee
Sanka instant ! MMMMM. MMMMMMM GOOOD!!!!!
The cezve is looking awesome.What is the brand ? Where can we get this ?
Brand is ZH, I sell them on my site, but only the models that I personally like wendstudio.shop/collections/turkish-coffee-pot
Great video! I drank in Egypt with cardamom. Is that typical for just Egypt?
It's probably the most popular spice which people tend to add. Fits perfectly. But it's possible to get a lot of interesting tastes with just a coffee ;)
i will definetely try it
I suggest to push the limits for each coffee. Sometimes it's better to brew "darker", towards a full wrap
@@wendstudio_coffee Will do! Thanks
New episode will be within an hour. Explaining these details
After just partly watching this I am going to have to try it. I actually have an ibrik somewhere but I always make my coffee with a Bodum. But I am having to reduce my coffee intake and I think if I can only make one cup a day, it should be the best!
That's for sure. If caffeine intake is a thing, I suspect it's better to use light roast coffee (since it's usually growing higher and should have less amount of it)
I always wondered how to use that device. Thank you!
Perfect explanation.
*What are you doing man ! We just want to drink some coffee !!*
There's a simplified version!) ruclips.net/video/V2sOtXAYOPo/видео.html
Good video 👍🏽
Thank you. The recent one is even better ;)
Turkish coffee.. love it
This feels like it should have more views
Thank you!) I hope more people will enjoy a properly brewed one. In my native language, video already got 2m views (here's actually why I created this merch "Make Cezve Great Again")
LOVE your voice
Thanks) Though, in this exact voice over it's not the best
Excellent video.
Where can you buy a cup like the cup at 8:20 in the video"
Roaster got it on a local market, so the only possible way is to use "Google lens" to make search easier. You can take a screenshot and do a search by photo as well
I will try this. I wonder if hot cocoa can be made like this as well?
Why not?) Though, I wouldn't, because it'll be hard to clean 😂 oils, etc. Better to use stainless steel for such task
Why am I not getting the caramel foam? I have the right pot, I have the coffee ground very small (I use cardamon coffee). I add one teaspoon of sugar and one heaping teaspoon of coffee to the Ibrik and stir a bit. Then I put on med heat. Then it either boils over or I get no foam. I've tried 5-6 times now. No beautiful creamy foam. I'm getting a little upset . I've watched tons of videos. Yours is great by the way but Im still having trouble. Anyone wanna give me some advice? Thanks
Here's the reason: mixing. Mix at around 1m to achieve a white foam. More details: ruclips.net/video/IBqQA6QVLFw/видео.html
I didnt know i wanted to brew coffee until this video :o
Hope it'll not disappoint :)
And the most important part: brew a perfect cup without sugar first. Then you'll know, that it's easy to drink it without sugar. And otherwise it'll be impossible to adjust the taste, it'll mostly be the same - boring.
It's like eating a sweet apple... It's already sweet. Sugar will ruin the nuances of taste. Even one spoon.
Also, if you want creamy foam at the top, like cappuccino, it's better to get authentic Turkish coffee grinder. Makes a huge difference.
Don't forget to share your experience after trying. Was video helpful? Is it easy to master with such recommendations?
There is an important video about mixing. If you have an issue with the coffee just boiling out or there is no white foam - watch it it'll fix everything ruclips.net/video/IBqQA6QVLFw/видео.html
I get Peruvian coffee from Aldi to grind for my French press. I stopped adding sugar years ago and drink it black. Once I stopped adding sugar I noticed the full flavor of the coffee with hints of chocolate and nuts. I would never go back to adding sugar or cream to my coffee. I'll have to try this Turkish method next.
When I was very young and living in Toronto I got into a love affair with sublime Turkish coffee at the Lothean Muse ( sp.) . It was allways heaven's perfection in a cup ❤ .
@wenstudio amazing video thank you very much! Just have 1 question, why can't you make smaller cups in larger cezve? I have a 380ml cezve, is 150ml too little?
Depends on the shape
I like this video I have used a greek stainless steel briki for years now I do like it. I do feel bad so many comments on here are so very very bitter.
They're not bitter at all) They just didn't try a properly brewed cup. Mostly because they don't have a good coffee. Or had an experience only with commercially brewed one (which just can't be at the level which you can get at home... even super specialty coffee shops serve bad coffee time to time)
Having that I live on Balkans, I have been drinking turkish cofee quite some for years, you might guess. My taste slowly shifted towards Americano first, and then to espresso when i got myself a good Breville espresso machine. Now i never drink turkish coffee except for cases when visiting family 😊
But this one will be different ;) Also brewing it since I was like 7
I had it, it's an experience that definitely didn't change my life. Was an experience though - to a point.
The way I make it is different and opens new sides of a coffee flavor)
whoop whoop! finally found this channel and i LIKE it :)
I moved from "coffee blog". Turned out RUclips won't serve to the different language audience groups properly otherwise)
@@wendstudio_coffee ahhh okay! So lets make cezve bigger in the specialty coffee world, I'm in! :)
Original video gained 2m+ views, that's what inspired me to created this merch print) which is now become the logo. There will be more content about Cezve soon. But at least the basics is here. More case scenarios could be helpful, but I don't see much feedback in the comments under such videos as brewing some coffee and trying to describe what I feel and how I approach it etc
Turkish coffee is something else. Super strong.
Well, depends) If you use light roast it'll be a pretty normal intensity. And if you brew it towards balance (like this video allows to).
Because if you do it the traditional way, it probably will be impossible to consume a big volume. And in that case, small cup is definitely the way to go. But this approach allows to get something closer to filter coffee if you wish. Slightly increase the grind size and it's more drinkable right away
The coffee-pot is ZH brand?
Yes, correct
I've gotten into teas and favor the STRONG greens from Japan, but when I do coffee I like the Ottoman method.
But you're brewing tea using like 70°C?
Thanks what kind of brand coffee are you using, ❤
Local roastery Radiokava. Mostly prefer light roast
@@wendstudio_coffee thanks but it’s not available in Amazon or anywhere else. Do you have a link I can order from
My favorite for my Kafes I would recommend you to try diffrent grounds of the Balkans arabs and Cyprus that are made for the Briki/cevze . My favorite one is still between laikou / charalambous . I have tried loumidis and illy as well may be sombodies else favorite not mine but I think it would be interesting to see the diffrent blends
Why not to try "The Underdog"? 🤔
can this coffee be used for cupuccino? would it taste good?
If you filter it using paper filter... But there is no point of doing that) it's easier to make a moka pot coffee.
But you can just add milk after serving coffee in a cup
What is the thermometer in your kettle please ? Thanks !
Don't actually remember is it included with the kettle or not. 99 that it is. But the numbers are tiny, hard to see the temperature. Better to use a bigger one (at least when it comes to precision) ruclips.net/video/k_4-BnIYZo0/видео.html
Here's the link to the kettle www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004686747919.html
@@wendstudio_coffee i think he meant, the little feather thing you dip in the coffee to see the temp
I assume I've put it in Cezve, not kettle) it's a k-type thermocouple
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I don’t drink Turkish coffee but here I am on amazon shopping for one… my question, does the shape of the czezve matter? I’m seeing a mix of stout pots and others that are more tapered like the ones you show in the video.
With my approach the shape doesn't matter that much. It's good if the pot will be narrow at a top, but I've tried brewing even in a milk pitcher. Harder to control because it's wide, but it worked.
As long as it looks beautiful, it'll work fine)
How does something taste round
That's a hard question. Relatively. Have you tried chalk? And fat milk. This sensation on the tongue will remind you of milk. while some coffee will be like dry wine.
My Armenian friend made me a cup of it before an evening uni course and I didn’t sleep a wink that night.
It's possible to have a lower amount of caffeine :) if brewed like in a video, it'll stay pretty reasonable even for evening. And with some specialty Arabica of course
I’m definitely interested in this process. Thanks.
I worked at the foreign peoples house and they would invite me to drink this coffee with them in the evening with a cigarette. They said it was turkish coffee. It was awesome experience. I wish i could thank them now.
this looks very similar to our favorite "Greek" coffee. how is Turkish different or better?
Should be the same beverage
@@wendstudio_coffee thank you for the response
The production value of your videos is awesome. Have you ever considered getting paid to speak online? I bet you a lot of companies would hire you out to hear your story.
😂 thanks. I don't speak English, just recording the voice overs from time to time. And I like to control it, but the booth is needed for proper recording. Barely fit in the closet)
@@wendstudio_coffee I think fine restaurants and hotels would hire you to speak, and will provide a translator. It's pretty good money.
So, do you strain it, forgive me I am a novice?
It's possible to drink it without any filtration. After cooling down in the cup for 3+ minutes, coffee particles will sink down. Coffee will be clean. And "muddy" layer at the bottom... Yes, tricky to drink but still possible to avoid drinking particles.
You can use paper filters to filter it, but coffee will be different and not that complex.
Also you can take off the foam using 2 spoons if you're not a fan. It's pretty flexible
@@wendstudio_coffee Thank you for your prompt response. I just like very very hot coffee, but will try your method. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
It'll still be hot. Especially if served in a ceramic cup. Double wall glass - probably even longer. I recommend waiting at least 2 minutes, just to make sure that particles sunk.
As for the taste - at room temperature it'll be more interesting in terms of taste. When hot - usually there is not a lot of flavors in coffee in general. Meaning, harder for receptors to perceive something. I recommend trying warm coffee as well
@@wendstudio_coffee Thank you, my Friend has pointed this out to me. I just find if I let it cool down, I drink it in one swallow, so still miss out. But I will definitely try your method, and let you know
Interesting to hear what was the reaction. Was it worth trying or not. But I will pay attention to the balance of taste before deciding if it's a good method. If it's brewed correctly - you'll not be disappointed
Long tea spoon is the must for mixing
I currently use a wooden spoon, but missing with the handle. Works good enough
I’m drinking Arabic coffee right now and I thought it changed my life I like medium roast with chocolate 🍫. What is the brewery name?
What do you mean by "brewery"?) Coffee brewing pot is ZH (available in my ebay store). Roasted coffee - Radiokava (also available on ebay)
as a turk I can say that your recipe is really game changing thank you.
Thank you!) I've recently viewed the video on April coffee channel. Patrik brewed coffee in Türkiye and mentioned that people there mostly drink dark roast. Is light roast for Cezve a rare thing?
@@wendstudio_coffee yes it is and darker in the east province of turkey they demand their coffee as bitter as possible.
That's probably the reason why the cup size is that small) Intensity and thickness could be very high
ist OK, ich liebe die italienische Variante von Espresso weit mehr
Awesome video sir!
True Turkish coffee is delightful.
Had it plenty of times in Istanbul and Marmaris over the years when over in fantastic Turkey 👌
I am lucky enough to own a Jura z10, which whips me up a pretty decent mug whenever I need one.
But it was a joy to watch a proper Turkish coffee done from start to finish. That looks like a nice coffee! 👏
It's a different approach, I'll soon try an "authentic technique" which should produce a different cup flavor. Turned out, they consume mostly dark roast which I didn't know. This video will help to produce some balanced flavor like an espresso
@@wendstudio_coffee It is often sold as "Double Roasted" over here. But I prefer Turkish coffee made from milder roasts with medium acidity. Direct contact with the heat source changes the coffee's taste a lot, so double roast dark beans may be why some visitors find it like a little cup of poison.
would this work well with raw cacao powder? i feel like the grain size is comparable already to cacao powder so perhaps this is a better way to make it.
Nothing to do with the cacao. Coffee extraction is under 30%, while cacao is 100 of the powder is being consumed. So there is no need to control the extraction process on cacao
@@wendstudio_coffee ahh ok, i suppose the makes sense. Has anyone tried it this way to see the result? it may still be a better way to make cacao maybe?
I personally haven't tried. Coffee shops use steamer for making it. No need to mix manually etc
I didn't have a good experience with this the first time I had it. I had no idea that it was unfiltered, so I gulped a good amount of the grounds.
But now you can enjoy it!)
Is there any method to prevent particle to move to the cup
Why would you want it?) You can mix the top of the foam slightly so that the particles will "disconnect" from the foam and sink. And then - just don't drink the residue.
But if you want cappuccino - 1. better to use moka pot 2. You can use a ceramic filter - dripper to filter the Turkish coffee. Or an AeroPress. But you'll lose a lot of flavor that way
This ceramic ruclips.net/video/GhxjLNftnfA/видео.html
Because I want clearness of filter coffee and foam from cezva
It'll be clear and clean. If you let it sit for 5 minutes after serving
I took a class in Istanbul, this isn't easy to do well!
Perfect. Tysm
I have only one question.
2:56 Dude. How the hell can you measure temperature with a shoe lace?
Pure magic) And it works for up to 600°C
The cezve at the opening of the video is gorgeous, where can I get that style?
Big one and empty or with the coffee?
The one with the coffee - it's called "ZH Athina", but it's not that ergonomic. Empty - also ZH, but 270 ml.
Potentially, can add them to my eBay store (270 just wasn't that popular and I removed it). But pretty sure they're available in other places
@@wendstudio_coffee It was the empty one, shame it's so big, because I very much like the aesthetic
They have Patina version of Athina. I use it for 7-10g dose. But for me, Mediterranean art is way better in both aesthetics and ergonomics (I have a review on the channel)
Seems that tou donr filter the liquid so, do the coffee particles disolve completely or do you drink them?
Coffee is cellulose (~70%) and the rest going to the beverage. Cellulose will be at the bottom of the cup, the coffee itself is clean like moka pot
If I like sugar with my coffee, when should I add it? Should I do it right after pouring, stir a little for the sugar, then wait a few minutes for the coffee grounds to settle to the bottom?
You can add it only after learning how to brew without it. Because sugar will cover all of the mistakes is the brewing
Hey bud, I just got my Cezve after watching your videos(Thank you by the way for showing us something interesting to introduce into our lives). I got a 120 ml used 8gs of coffee and I feel like I could have used more water because the water did not raise to the top of the pot as yours all did. Am I doing something wrong? I used a temperature gauge as well.
8g dose is the most comfortable to work with because it gives some space in case coffee will need to raise. Especially light roast. I've used 10g dose in it usually, but when coffee is too fresh or just needed to be brewed longer - the only option was to pause the heating. So it's ok that it didn't raise. The color is the thing to watch on.
Temperature gauge isn't necessary, it's just a demonstration that it's not reaching 100°c, but could be used to control the brewing as well. Though, it's enough to see the color change and motion of the foam.
Was there a white foam when brewing? If not, it's better to mix coffee at around 1 minute
At first you said to wait a few minutes after brew to pour, but then all the clips are pour immediately?
I'm not sure I've said that. It's better to drink it when it cools down in a cup for 5 minutes after pouring out. But that's correct, you need to pour it out right after it's finished brewing
Is it a way of brewing or cooking? Turkish coffee is actually not about brewing but cooking the grounded beans.
It's about balanced extraction. I'll try cooking version in a few weeks, it using sand to be closer to authentic
every morning in Serbia I drink like this
not measuring in grams, i do by eye, my mom learned me
