SOME COMMON COFFEE NAMES

  • TURKISH COFFEE ; Turkish coffee is not a degree of roast or an indicator of Turkish heritage, although usually dark Turkish is not a degree of roast. Turkish coffee means "super extra fine grind". Coffee beans ground to a very fine powder. Typically, the coffee bean is roasted to a dark brown to attain a brittle quality increasing the beans ability to be ground fine. Turkish coffee can be a blended two or three bean affair or flavored, I assure you a nice crispy "Master Dry Roasted Dark" bean of the highest quality ground and fresh brewed in the grand Turkish style will amaze you.
  • ESPRESSO ; Espresso is a particular and very distinct way of making coffee. It stands on its own. Espresso means at its root or origin EXPRESS. Modern "high end" machines are a wonder, steel tank of super heated water. Freshly ground coffee is packed with a small damper into a handle containing a small sieve. The handle is fitted with precision and steaming hot water is allowed to force through the grounds and the delicious essential brown mosaic that is crème forms.
