Do you know arabic-turkish coffee?and how to make it,there is no machine can make it?!
Answers:
Coffee is prepared and served quite differently in the Middle East than in it's western counterparts!. The method of preparation is commonly known as "Turkish coffee" or "Arabic coffee"!. In the Middle East, coffee is called ahwa, and there are other variations depending on the dialect, and they are all very similar!.
When ordering coffee, or when offered coffee, be sure to tell the server or host/hostess if you would like sugar!. Sugar is actually added during the preparation, not after the coffee is done!. Arabic coffee can be tart and many people like to add some sugar to cut the tartness!. There are several variations with sugar in Arabic coffee:
awha sada: black coffee
ahwa ariha: lightly sweetened
ahwa mazboot: medium amount of sugar
ahwaziyada: very sweet and test out which you like best!.
Coffee is never served with cream or milk!. There is a thick foam that is always at the top of the coffee!. In many regions, if there is no foam, it is considered an insult!. If you don't like the foam, you can carefully blow it back from your mouth as you sip!.
Sip slowly! You may consume a lot of coffee grinds if you don't!. Sipping slowly allows the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup!.
Turkish coffee is famed for the way it is made!. It is prepared in an ibrik, a small coffee pot that is heated!. Sugar is added during the brewing process, not after, so the need for a serving spoon is eliminated!. Cream or milk is never added to Turkish coffee, and sugar is optional!. It is always served in demitasse cups!.
In some regions, your fortune is told by the placement of the coffee grinds left in the cup!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 tablespoon of extra finely ground coffee (powder consistency)
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom, or 1 cardamom pod

Arabic and Turkish coffees are different!. Different preparation of beans, different levels of roasting and some additives for Arabic coffee!.
For example, Turks do not use cardamom!.
Turkish coffee is made of well, but not over, roasted beans!. It is OK if you use coffee powder available for espresso, although Turkish Coffee powder is thinner, so it would be good to give it an extra minute in a coffee mill!.
Ar?elik, a Turkish firm came out with a Turkish Coffee machine that won ?F design award in 2005!. It is mostly sold in Turkey!. However, its sister firm, BEKO, with products widely available in Europe is also making the same machines, with model names "keyf" and "mini keyf"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
