Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Turkish (Greek, Arabic) coffee is just wonderful. It took me years to get around to make it because the grinds-in-the-cup thing sounded too disgusting. I didn't get it until I finally had some. I made OK progress until an Egyptian friend finally taught me the fine points.
By the way, you don't get grounds in your mouth - trust me. For them what never been - you gotta go... Also, BOTL mosesbotbol talked up using cardomom pods crushed immediately before use as opposed to using ground cardamom from the spice jar - HUGE difference, that.

My work takes me out into the Russian/Armenian community on a daily basis, and I've had the opportunity (most consistantly) in sampling Armenian coffee. So much so, everyone wants to buy me a pot and coffee so I can make it at home (of course I have to turn it all down, but its a nice gesture non the less). Of course, the Armenian' I come across accuse the Turkisk folks of stealing this form of coffee and calling it all theirs, and I'm sure this possibly crosses lines with the 600 year war at some point in time

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Go real easy on the sugar (while making it) as a treat is to mix in some black Sambuca for sweetness and additional flavor in each cup.

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
i drank alot of turkish coffee in college. If you make it wrong, you'll be chewing it, but if made right, it is wonderful stuff. I made it with equal parts coffee and sugar. It seemed like I was always struck with a sudden need for the bathroom about 20 mins after drinking a cup or two.

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
Anybody try making this with Splenda instead of sugar?
I have a Lebanese market very close to work, they have Turkish grind coffee, with cardamom or without, as well as a good supply of ibriq at reasonable prices. I've made Turkish style coffee in my SS ibriq before, good foam, but never added sweetener as I cannot stand the aftertaste sugar leaves in my mouth when combined with coffee....

Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.
My wife's grandmother lives with us. She's originally from northern Italy and she makes this for me every weekend. I like to drink a cup or two of regular coffee first, then I go to town on the hi test
