Some subtleties of making coffee in the Turk at home
To prepare a truly high-quality product, you should know some subtleties.
1. Try to use fresh roasted grains. Do not be lazy to find out from the "experts" or google information about the nearby roasting shop. Buy grain every week, store in a closed glass container. Unfortunately, roasted coffee beans are a product whose smell is very short-term. The most pronounced flavor in medium roasted grains. 2. Use traditional Arabica.
3. Grind grains right before preparing the drink. For “coffee in the Turk” requires a very fine grinding. It is also called grinding to dust.
4. Use quality purified water. From her to a large extent depends on the taste of the prepared beverage.
5. Remember that good coffee is not brewed, but brewed. The temperature of the water should be below the boiling point, so that the most delicate essential oils that give the drink a special charm should not collapse. At the same time, the low temperature of the water will not allow the aroma to unfold.
Fresh grains, clean water, fine grinding - these are the “three whales”, which hold the preparation of a unique drink that gives the body vigor and strength.
6. One of the values of coffee is its aroma. In order for it to spread throughout the room at the bottom of the Turks, place a piece of sugar or a pinch of salt.
7. Properly proportion: ground coffee should be 2 teaspoons per 100 ml of water.
8. Want to further enhance the taste of coffee latte? Use whole milk only. From it foam turns out especially tasty and resistant.
9. For a quality product that would delight you and your loved ones, constantly mix the contents of the Turks during cooking. This will avoid unwanted lumps.
10. Pour the finished coffee in cups, which are previously boiled over with boiling water.
Coffee in the Turk at home - correctly choose the dishes for cooking
Coffee gurus believe that the best Turk for making a drink should have a narrow throat. The flavor does not come out so quickly through it, and the saturation and uniqueness of the drink remains. Preferred is the Turk, which has a bottom size of 2-3 times larger than the size of the neck. The thicker the walls of the tank, the longer the drink will remain hot. This is an axiom.
As a rule, for making coffee, copper, ceramic, clay Turks are used. What to choose to make coffee especially tasty? Copper Turk allows you to warm up the drink evenly from all sides. The main “feature” of ceramic tableware for coffee is a porous material that can easily pass oxygen, thereby enriching it with coffee particles. Turk clay gives you the opportunity to prepare a drink that has a particularly rich aroma. Copper jazz is ideal for daily fast coffee. Other types of Turks require a slow approach to the preparation of the drink, which not everyone can afford.
Particular attention should be paid to the handle of the Turks. It should be made of heat-resistant material. Modern industry offers handles inserted and screwed. The second option is preferable.
Light and rich, bitter and tender ... Coffee can be completely different. It's all about the ability to cook it. We hope that now your morning will always begin with a smile from the anticipation of a good start with a cup of your favorite drink.
