Answer by khem student
Get a french press with scoop for about $ 20-$ 40. On the press is cup measurements or dashed lines. Place three scoops of finely ground coffee for 2 cups, fill with hot water up to the dashed 2 cup line and let steep for 2-5 minutes with press resting above it to retain heat. Then press to the bottom 3 times, making sure to not let any grounds escape. Pour enough into your cup to fill it 3/4 full. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of milk and two packets of in the raw (or desired) sugar. I prefer adding 1/4 cup milk + 2 pumps hazelnut syrup+ 1 tbsp agave sugar syrup and topping with cinnamon. Good Luck!

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

  • Fine grounded, medium roasted coffee
  • Traditional taste for ages

Turkish Coffee is the name given to a type of coffee whose preparation and brewing techniques were invented by the Turks. It has a unique taste, froth, aroma, brewing technique and presentation… in other words it has its own identity and tradition.

The first coffee was made in the Arabian Peninsula by boiling coffee cherries. The new method invented by the Turks revealed coffee’s true flavour and peerless aroma. The Turks introduced coffee to Europe where for many years it was prepared and consumed as Turkish Coffee.

Turkish Coffee is made from high quality arabica coffee beans from Central America and Brazil that are blended and carefully roasted, then very finely ground. The coffee is mixed with water and the desired amount of sugar and cooked in a “cezve”, or Turkish coffeepot. The coffee is served in small cups. The coffee must be left to stand for a short time after serving to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cup.

HOW TO PREPARE:
It only takes two minutes to prepare Turkish Coffee. Using the coffee cup as a measuring cup, pour one cup of drinking water in the cezve per cup of Turkish Coffee (the quality of the water affects the quality of the coffee).

Add two teaspoons of coffee (5 g) and two teaspoons of sugar (as desired) per cup.

Blend the coffee and sugar with a spoon over a low flame.

When the coffee boils over a second time, pour the remaining coffee into the coffee cups.

Allow the remaining coffee to brew a while longer before adding it to the cups.

It is customary to serve Turkish Coffee with a glass of water. The water prepares the mouth for the coffee’s flavour.

When serving a large group, it is best to prepare semi-sweet Turkish Coffee.

How can I enhance the coffee in my office?

Question by Mirza Hakimi: How can I enhance the coffee in my office?
In our small office environment, we use an average coffee machine, with supermarket coffee, and some flavored creams and sugar. Nothing extraordinary. We all drink it. What can we do to diversify, and create a sense of “new” with our daily routine?

Best answer:

Answer by happykat

You get different blends at the supermarket. Ones that are already packed and ones that you can choose and grind.

For each day of the week (Mon-Fri), why don’t you have a flavor/blend for each day?! (There’s the ‘french roast’, ‘colombian roast’, ‘irish cream’ and so on…), So each day everyone can look forward to something different. If you do like this idea, ask the rest of them in the office, take a vote on it and go buy nice flavors. Make sure to accommodate everyone 🙂

How to use powdered creamer in one’s coffee?

Question by Anthony T: How to use powdered creamer in one’s coffee?
I have Nestle Coffee Mate French vanilla powdered creamer. Do I just add the creamer in lieu of milk and sugar, just milk, just sugar, or do I add creamer, milk, and sugar to my coffee? I understand that it’s really my choice to do what I wish with my coffee, but I would like to know what the powdered creamer actually replaces.

Best answer:

Answer by Timid Women Rarely Make History
You can add the creamer directly to your coffee. It’s just a dehydrated version of the liquid. It has a longer shelf life.

Or what have you ever added to the grinds to make the coffee the best before it’s brewed?-thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Julie P
No. Always add your condiments after brewing. You can also add ground cinnamon to the grounds. It has nutritional properties such has lowering blood sugar. You only add about a teaspoon or less to a whole 12 cup pot to avoid bitterness.

Does really good quality coffee taste delicious without cream and sugar?

Question by caltam84: Does really good quality coffee taste delicious without cream and sugar?
I love coffee. But regular black coffee has an unpleasant bitter taste. I add cream and sugar in coffee because it tastes nasty without them and its unpleasant bitterness.

Have you tried Blue Mountain coffee brand imported from Jamaica? How was it? This coffee is hand picked from the high elevations. What other coffee brands do you consider are best qualities?

Best answer:

Answer by sweetxoheart992
i normally just drink milk and sugar.

Answer by BD
YES!!!  The best coffees do not need cream and sugar because there is no bitterness.  Of course you may still enjoy adding cream and/or sugar because you like the flavor with those additions.
