Turkish Coffee?

[Halon]

Anybody ever had Turkish coffee?
My best friend's dad works for an oil company in Saudi Arabia, and they visit him a couple times a year. Apparently Turkish coffee is spectacular.
Anyone had it before? Anyone make it regularly? I'm thinking of buying some Turkish coffee and an ibrik and experimenting with it a bit...

Turkish coffee made right has some killer taste! I haven't busted mine out in awhile because my better half complains about the smell (She doesn't do coffee at all).

It takes a couple of tries to get it right, but wheen you do, it's an awesome thing!

Turkish is one method of brewing coffee that I haven't tried but an ibrik is on my wishlist.
I may not like it though, since as I understand it, it is brewed with sugar. I generally don't like sugar in coffee.

I had coffee at the turkish restaurant but I don't think they used very good coffee. It was good, but I wonder how it would be with some fresh authentic stuff.

I like vietnamese coffee with the gravity filtration thing and condensed milk, thats yummy

I worked for a couple of Turkish guys about 15 years ago. They gifted me coffee for putting in extra hours. It was really good, prepared it like espresso, had a nuttier flavor.

A brewing style versus a specific bean. Usually served very strong and very sweet.

We had like 4 cups a day when we all went to go see our friend ROny in Cyprus/Lebanon! Let me tell ya it is strong stuff but after trying to keep up with is 'tour' schedual (that would be herfing for 22 hours a day) we needed every drop of it Lol.

With a lot of sugar I probably wouldn't like it...

It's all about the grind and the brewing, not a particular bean.

ooh.... .I wasn't paying attention... Turkish is a "style" not a bean, well...


I need to actually read I guess

I've been a Turkish coffee drinker since my teens (family from Eastern Europe). Recently purchased a Beko coffee machine, and holy shit it made the perfect cup (creme is like sweet cream). Anyone else use a Beko?

I also roast (weekly) and grind (daily using a hand mill) the bean (low acidity Ethiopian or Brazilian). What other bean origins would Turkish coffee drinkers would recommend?

I have Turkish coffee almost daily, I like it with cardamon, no sugar and some baklava aside
