How to brew freshly ground coffee in a Turk. Cooking in a French press

Quality coffee

Arabica and robusta are the most popular coffee varieties. It is the varieties, since these coffee trees are also divided into subspecies, so two different packages with an attractive inscription "100% Arabica" will have different tastes.

Arabica has a more noble taste with a slight sourness, robusta is coarser, astringent and strong. V pure form Robusta is never used, only as an additive to Arabica. It gives an excellent dense foam in espresso, which is why baristas love it.

The taste of coffee depends on many factors: the place of growth, the degree of roast, the combination of varieties (if it is a mixture), storage conditions.

Correct coffee is sold in an opaque package with a degassing valve that removes carbon dioxide outside and prevents oxygen from entering. After roasting, coffee emits several liters of carbon dioxide during the day. If you see a package in a store without such a valve, it means that the coffee was not packed immediately after roasting, it had been degassed for some time and had significantly lost its taste. Essential oils partially volatilize during degassing.

Look at the roast date. The closer it is to today's date, the better. Ideally, no later than two weeks, but this is difficult to achieve even for shops specializing in coffee and tea only.

Take coffee beans. There are several reasons for this.

1. Self-ground coffee eliminates the presence in the cup impurities... It is easier for unscrupulous producers to mix cheaper robusta varieties and even chicory, malt, barley, rye into ground coffee. It is better to grind yourself, even in the simplest coffee grinder.
2. The basis of the taste of coffee - essential oils... As we now know, oxygen is main enemy the right taste... Grinding before direct brewing will maximize the aroma of the beans.
3. You have more opportunities to experiment. Coffee for espresso machines requires a medium grind, for a French press - coarse, and for a Turkish coffee should resemble flour.
4. You will be able to evaluate the shape of the grain itself, make sure that the grains are the same size, matte and whole. The uniformity of the grains excludes the addition of cheaper robusta. The shine indicates that the grain is stale and has already begun to release essential oils. The shards will give bitterness, as they are fried more than whole grain... Of course, you can understand all this only when you open the package and draw conclusions about the manufacturer for the future.

Water

Ideally - spring, but you can do with filtered. The main thing - do not take water directly from the tap and do not use boiled water.

Spices

Some coffee lovers add a little salt during preparation, which helps to better reveal the taste and aroma of coffee and reduce bitterness. If you decide on salt, then take the most common cooked coarse grind. With the extra variety there is a risk of oversalting, but iodized salt will give an unpleasant aftertaste.

We pass from theory to practice - brewing coffee.

Making coffee in a Turk

Choosing a Turk

The Turk has been known since the times of the Ottoman Empire, and, in fact, the name of this tableware speaks of its origin. In its historical homeland, it is called a cezve, and both names have taken root in the Russian language.

Today the Turks are made from a variety of materials: copper, aluminum, stainless steel, brass and even ceramics. There are both small Turks for a 100 ml cup, and large ones for a solid mug.

Among coffee lovers, preference is given to the copper little Turks.

The copper heats up evenly, and the small volume allows you to maximize the taste of the grain.

Aluminum cookware heats up quickly, but in principle it is undesirable to use it for cooking any food, since this material reacts with food when heated. The stainless steel warms up unevenly, which is why a hotbed of the highest temperature appears in the center of the dishes, the coffee begins to boil, although the temperature has not yet reached the desired mark at the edges.

Ceramics and clay also heat up, but these materials continue to give off heat, even when you have already removed the dishes from the stove: the foam will continue to rise, and there is a risk that you will flood the table or stove. Due to its porous structure, earthenware absorbs odors well, so over time the taste of coffee will only get better, but you can only use it for preparing one variety.

If you have induction cooker, then it makes no sense to take a ceramic Turk: it simply will not heat up. In the case of buying a copper one, pay attention to the fact that in its bottom there should be special inserts on which induction will be induced.

The most correct shape Turks - traditional conical with a funnel-shaped bell. The cone will not allow the thicker to get up, and the bell will prevent the foam from rising too quickly, which is especially important for those who have not had experience using this dish before. The handle can be of any length, but the longer it is, the more convenient it will be for you to remove the Turk from the fire.

Cooking in turk

Rinse the Turk, add 1 teaspoon finely ground coffee and add 75 ml of cold water. Add sugar or a few grains of salt before we put the Turk on slow fire... These components slow down the boiling process somewhat and make the foam denser.

We put on fire, heat, but do not bring to a boil. Your main task now is not to be distracted and wait for the moment when the foam rises. Remember the funnel-shaped bell? It will increase your chances of catching this moment and preventing coffee from pouring over the stove.

We remove the Turk from the fire, let the foam settle and put it on the fire again. The foam should rise three times and you should lower it three times. The process is clearly shown in this video.

Using a turk is not easy, it requires attention and certain skills. But it is this method of brewing coffee that has many followers, since a minimum of equipment is required: only the right dishes and a stove.

Making coffee in a geyser coffee maker

Choosing a coffee maker

The first geyser coffee makers appeared in the 1930s. By the way, the company that designed them still exists today - the Italian Bialetti. Today coffee makers of this type are produced by different companies.

When buying, you should focus on the material from which the coffee maker is made. You should definitely not take aluminum specimens. But stainless steel or ceramics is a matter of taste.

Pay attention to the number of cups the coffee maker prepares at a time.

In case of geyser coffee maker won't be able to pour less water and put a spoonful of coffee in order to make one for yourself instead of six cups. You should always prepare the full volume. Moreover different manufacturers may interpret the volume of one cup differently. For someone it is 40 ml, for someone - 100. Find out this point before buying.

Cooking in a geyser coffee maker

We choose medium-ground coffee, put it into the filter. If later it turns out that coffee particles are floating in your cup, it means that the grinding was not coarse enough. Pour water into the bottom of the coffee maker.

As soon as the water boils, remove from the heat. Boiling in this case there is no need to be afraid, since the coffee itself will not heat up to 100 ° C. The water, under the pressure of the steam generated during the boiling, will pass through the filter with the coffee and settle on the top of the coffee maker. With an electrical device, it's even easier: as soon as the coffee is ready, it turns itself off.

The whole process is shown in detail in the video instruction below.

If water leaks from the sides during use, it means that you have loosely tightened the parts or have exceeded the maximum mark for water.

The reason why it became possible to hold coffee brewing competitions is in the intricacies of using this simple device.

Cooking in an airpress

Grind 1.5 tablespoons of coffee, pour into a flask. The grinding should be slightly coarser than for the Turk. Need to prepare 200 ml hot water- not boiling water, the temperature should be around 90 ° C. If you have one, then you can find the exact temperature. If not, wait three minutes after the kettle boils.

Fill the coffee with water. And from this moment the magic begins. The taste and strength of the drink depends on how long you keep the coffee in the flask and when you start stirring. It is no coincidence that a special application was released for iOS that tells how long coffee should be kept in an air press.

Owners of Android smartphones are a little less fortunate: they can only use a universal application that covers different ways making coffee. There are also tips for the owners of air presses.

After the coffee has matured from one to three minutes, put the filter on the flask, turn the aeropress over and slowly push the coffee through the filter into the cup. If the piston is running hard, use a slightly coarser grind next time. The cooking process is shown in detail in this video.

Aeropress is very convenient to use, compact, easy to clean, coffee is brewed very quickly, and fine-tuning opens a truly limitless field for experimenting with the taste of your favorite drink. The only drawback is that there will be no coffee crema with this brewing method, since the water is heated separately from the beans.

Making coffee in a French press

Choosing a French press

Traditionally, a French press is made of glass. The material, albeit fragile, is neutral, which does not react in any way with the contents. More expensive models have more reliable springs and a strainer that is resistant to frequent use. But in general, it doesn't really matter which model you choose.

How to brew frothy coffee

There are gourmets who like only a frothy coffee drink. Any prestigious establishment will gladly delight you with such a treat for a nominal fee. Not everyone can cook it at home.

Coffee is rightfully considered a unique drink... Thanks to exquisite aroma and unsurpassed taste it finds popularity in all countries of the world. Leading manufacturing companies have developed many options for coffee machines, but none of them will convey the taste the way a Turk will. Reveal all qualities ground grains a simple device will help, which we will talk about today. Let's consider the important aspects in order, and give practical recommendations.

Which coffee to choose

Before talking about brewing ground coffee, you need to choose a base for the drink.

Type of coffee
The most popular varieties are "Robusta" and "Arabica". As a rule, "Robusta" is used extremely rarely, since the final composition turns out to be strong, tart, and bitter. In our country, the Arabica variety has gained wide popularity - coffee with optimal bitterness and light sourness.

Coffee grinding
Depending on the degree of grinding, coarse (coarse), medium, fine (fine) and ultrafine grinding are distinguished.

Coarse grinding is used when coffee is prepared in express coffee machines or filter coffee makers. In addition, on the basis of coarse grinding, you can prepare a drink in a Turk, it will turn out without sediment.

Experts call the average grind universal. With it, you can brew coffee both in a professional machine and at home on the stove - in a Turk.

Finely ground coffee is chosen by people who have geyser equipment for brewing a drink. Also, the composition is great for cooking in a Turk, but sediment may appear.

Ultrafine or ultrafine grinding is used less often than all others. On the basis of this type, real Turkish coffee, it is also used for coffee makers that assume a yield final product through small grains, similar in structure to flour.

Important! All the necessary information about the variety, grind and degree of roast is on the front of the package. If you have a grinder, give preference to whole grains, which must be grinded immediately before cooking.

Coffee class
In terms of quality coffee beans, there are 4 classes: first, second, highest and premium segment.

By far the most the best option considered a premium class. In this case, the grains will be milled uniformly without large particles. However, if it is not possible to acquire an extra-class, give preference to the higher or middle, the low option should be abandoned right away.

Roast degree
The taste of the finished drink, its strength and consistency depends on the roasting of the beans. There are 4 degrees (1-4). If you don't love too strong coffee, choose the second or third stage. For connoisseurs of soft drinks, the first roasting category is suitable. It all depends on individual preferences.

Turk is an instrument that came from distant times, it allows you to fully convey the taste and aroma of the selected coffee. Of course, coffee machines simplify the process, but they are inferior to the “manual” preparation option.

Coffee brewed on a stove using a turkey (also called a cezve) is a truly unique delicacy. For this reason, it is recommended that you choose your accessories carefully.

Types of cezve
Clay, ceramic and copper Turks are distinguished depending on the available subspecies. They all have a number of features and properties.

1. Clay turk. The device is bad because the walls absorb the taste and aroma of coffee beans. For this reason, when choosing a clay cezve, it is important to consider that it is recommended to cook only one variety in it. Otherwise taste qualities and the smell will mix and spoil the invigorating drink.
2. Ceramic turk. Initially, it was in such a cezve that our ancestors made coffee. However, due to excessive fragility and fragility, the device has faded into the background. If you have ceramic turk in good condition, give preference to her.
3. Copper Turk. Due to the fact that the cezve has thick walls and a bottom, the coffee warms up evenly. This type of cooking is considered the most common, but only 90% of the taste and aroma are transmitted.

If we talk about other available types of Jaez, there are silver and gilded Turks (collection series). It is better to refuse them, since such devices were made for decorations, and not for household use.

Technical characteristics of the Turks
When choosing a cezve, give preference to the option that has a narrow neck and a wide bottom. This design provides uniform heating, as a result of which water boils away much more slowly.

If we talk about the volume of the Turks, one mug accounts for about 65-70 ml. water. It is important to remember forever that the size of the cezve directly affects the taste of the finished drink. If possible, it is better to purchase a small turkey, in which you can brew 1-2 servings of coffee.

What can replace a Turk

Not all people have a Turk, but to feast on natural drink everyone wants. In order not to buy a cezve, we will consider the current replacement options.

1. Geyser coffee machine. The device is rightfully considered an analogue of the Turks. It consists of a lower compartment for water, a tap, a container for ground coffee and a kettle for the final drink. After pressing the "Start" button, the water in the lower compartment heats up, passes through the tap, which is directed to coffee grounds. Ready composition flows down, filtering the ground grains. As a result, you get delicious coffee without crema and dripping of grounds.
2. French press. A household appliance not intended for brewing coffee. You can boil the crushed grains, insist and strain. This replacement option is suitable for people who are used to drinking coffee. big company, as well as for those who do not like to observe the remains of ground grains in the cup. The taste of the final drink is much inferior to a Turk and a geyser coffee maker.
3. A saucepan or saucepan. If you have a stewpan or small thick-bottomed saucepan lying around in your kitchen, use a coffee pot. The disadvantage of this option is that the thick rises along with the foam and settles very slowly. In this case, the aroma disappears, distorting the entire drink. If you choose to brew coffee in a saucepan / saucepan, put a lid on the container and leave a small gap to allow steam to escape. Make sure that the coffee does not boil over or burn, these are the most common mistakes.

1. Not everyone likes to observe the leftover grounds in their cup, so it needs to be filtered. To do everything right, after brewing coffee, knock the bottom of the turkey on the edge of the table, then pour in a teaspoon of ice-cold purified water.
2. To get coffee without foreign smell use only filtered drinking water... It does not contain metals and impurities. Never bring liquid to a boil; it should simmer over low heat.
3. If you don't brew coffee often, go for whole beans. Grind them before cooking. If you use a ready-made grind, which has lain long time, the coffee will be unsaturated.
4. In order not to get a drink with strong bitterness (especially for the "Robusta" variety), do not put too much ground composition in the Turk. Stick to the optimal mark for making a drink that is suitable for the whole family.
5. If you want to surprise your guests with an invigorating scent that will last for a long time, do the following. Before pouring your drink, heat the mugs (microwave, hot water or steam bath pouring steep boiling water etc.).
6. To reveal the taste and enhance the aroma, place a pinch of chopped edible salt(not iodized, not marine). Do not be afraid that the coffee will become salty, this will not happen.

How to make coffee in a Turk: classic (with foam)

After choosing a base and a suitable cezve, you can start cooking. The final drink will turn out to be tart with a light foam on the surface.

2. Gently start pouring in the pre-chilled water so that the free-flowing mixture does not rise too much. Turn on the burner to the minimum mark, put the Turk on the stove.
3. As it boils, you will notice that the composition begins to foam and darken. When the coffee rises exactly to the edges of the cezve, remove it from the heat and allow the crema to settle. Most importantly, do not miss this moment so that the drink does not spill out of the Turk.
4. After the foam has subsided, put the device back on the stove, wait for the next approach. Repeat simple manipulations (removed from the stove, waited for the foam to settle, put it on the stove) about 4-5 times.
5. During cooking Special attention must be given to the foam cap. She covers the drink, as a result of which it retains its aroma. If the foam disappears, the coffee starts to bubble, the drink will be spoiled.
6. After the final preparation, knock with a Turk on the edge of the table, warm up the cups, pour the drink over them. Add condensed milk or whipped cream if desired.

Latte and cappuccino are prepared on the basis of espresso, so it makes sense to consider such a preparation recipe.

• purified water - 75 ml.
• beet sugar - 10 gr. (at the discretion of)

1. Wash and dry the Turk, add ground coffee to the container, turn on the stove to the minimum mark. Put the cezve on the burner, fry the ground beans a little. At this stage, you can add granulated sugar or skip this stage (if you do not like sweet coffee).
2. Preheat drinking water to 40 degrees, gently pour it into the cezve along the edge of the device. Wait for the drink to boil, as soon as this happens - remove the Turk from the stove. Stir with a wooden spatula, return to heat.
3. Wait for the second boil, repeat the previous manipulations. Repeat the steps 3 times, then turn off the hotplate, preheat the cups and pour coffee over them. Cover with a saucer, let it brew for 1 minute.

Video: how to make coffee in a Turk

Servings: 2 pcs.

Cooking time: 20 minutes.

1. Ground coffee - 5 tsp
2. Sugar - 5 tsp
3. Water - 500 ml.
4. Turk.
5. Long spoon.

How to brew coffee correctly:

Put in Turku first required amount ground coffee and sugar. I do not like very strong coffee, so I put one heaped teaspoon ground coffee per 100 grams of water.

It is advisable for Turku to choose such a volume that, when filled with the required amount of water, it is filled to the narrowest point. So it is more convenient to control the boiling process.

Add to Turku cold water... If you want to prepare a different amount of coffee, then in order to measure the required amount of water, pour it first into a mug, and only then into a Turk.

Stir the contents of the turkey with a spoon. If you are going brew coffee in turk often, it is advisable to acquire special spoon with an extended handle... This is very convenient, since such a spoon does not heat up so much, and most importantly, it is long enough not to drown in a Turk.

Put the Turk on the burner and turn it on to the maximum.

Now you need to watch the coffee and listen to the noise of the heating water.

The main thing in a properly brewed coffee is not to bring the drink to a boil.

When the foam starts to rise, and the noise of the heating water begins to subside, it is necessary to remove the Turk from the heat and wait about 5 minutes until the coffee in it cools down a little. Stir coffee in turk in order to get a richer taste.

It is advisable to turn off the stove for this time (especially if you have electric stove) to prevent the cooking zones from overheating.

After coffee in turk cool slightly and infuse, put it back on the burner and turn it on over medium heat.

Repeat the heating and infusion step 1-2 more times.

Pour out properly brewed coffee in circles and enjoy a delicious and aromatic drink.

For many people, coffee is essential for starting a new day.

2. Pour ground coffee into a Turk with water. For a standard coffee cup, you need to pour 1.5-2 teaspoons of ground coffee without a slide, but take into account your taste preferences, because someone loves coffee stronger, and someone is weaker.
3. Now pouring into a Turk boiled water from the teapot. The total amount of water in the turk should be approximately equal to the volume of your cup. But at the same time maximum level water in a Turk is the level of its narrowest point (isthmus). We draw your attention to the fact that you need to pour not boiling water, but only warm water, otherwise you will ruin the drink before you start brewing directly.
4. We put the Turk with water on the fire and wait. You need to watch out for the moment when your coffee is almost boiling. That is, it has not boiled yet, but just about. It is at this point that you need to remove the coffee from the heat. You also need to monitor the level of foam. As soon as it starts to rise, the coffee is ready.
5. Do not rush to immediately pour the finished drink into a cup, let it brew for a couple of minutes. Then pour coffee into a cup, add sugar to taste.
