How can u not love it??(don't answer that)
Here are few examples ot coffee.
Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is a very fine, powder-like grind. An aromatic spice called cardamom is sometimes added to the coffee while it is being ground.One can also boil whole seeds with the coffee and let them float to the top when served.
Turkish coffee has six levels of sweetness ranging from very sweet to black.
Since sugar is not added to the coffee after it is served, spoons are not needed.
As the coffee begins to heat, it begins to foam.
Tradition :
- A rule of the Turkish coffee ceremony dictates that if the foam is absent from the face of the coffee, the host loses face.
- After the guest has drank the coffee and the cup is turned upside down on the saucer and allowed to cool, the hostess then performs a fortune reading from the coffee grounds remaining in the cup.
Cappuccino Coffee
The correct proportions are :
- 1/3 of just made espresso coffee
- 2/3 of froth.
The froth is prepared as follows:
- Fill a small jug to 1/3 of its capacity with fresh milk.
- Immerse the frothing arm found on all electric espresso machines to just below the surface of the milk.
- Turn on the steam and gradually lower the jug, allowing the milk to froth up while still keeping the froth arm just below the surface.
- Add a half of the froth into the espresso coffee.
- Sprinkle a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder or dark grated chocolate.
- Add the rest of the froth.
- Top off with a dash of cocoa or grated chocolate.
Espresso Coffee
Preparation :
- A 1 to 1 1/2 ounce shot of espresso should brew in 19-23 seconds.
- The espresso should flow out of the machine at a slow, but steady dribble.
- If your espresso has been perfectly brewed, the surface will be covered with a thick, foamy, golden brown crema.
- If the crema is good, then sugar in your espresso will float on the surface for a couple seconds.
Espresso coffee, despite being a sublime experience on its own, is the foundation for a wide variety of specialty coffee drinks such as the Cappuccino.
