Default Re: Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.

Okay, some pics from my most recent Turkish coffee prep.

First, a nice shot of the equipment: fresh-ground coffee, powder-like, from the Rocky; a new salt grinder adapted for grinding fresh cardamon; and the nice painted copper ibrik from Sweet Maria (this is the 12 oz model)



Next, a shot of the first boil...I'm not great at the crema yet, but Moo's suggestion of just dropping the coffee on top instead of mixing it in has produced more crema than I experienced when I mixed it in or agitated it



Right after the third boil...that crema is thinner, but still sticking around a little...



Ready to drink. This particular batch was extra yummy, as I found my preferred balance between coffee, sugar, and cardamon.



I'm still learning how to do this right, and it's a lot of fun...not to mention that the fiance is excited to have a fourth way to prepare coffee in the morning
