To enjoy coffee brewed in a Turk, you must first choose the right one. There are several criteria: cost, shelf life, country of origin, features of grain grinding, etc.
There are two types of coffee: robutsa and arabica. The first contains more caffeine, it is strong and bitter, and the second has a delicate and slightly sour taste. To choose ground coffee, you need to know the specifics of the grinding. It is of three types:
- … Such coffee is prepared both in coffee makers and in Turks. Finely ground grains produce a fragrant drink with a delicate smell.
- - the most common and easy to prepare type. You can make coffee from it according to any recipe.
- it is more often used for coffee makers and coffee machines, but if you know the rules for brewing such an option in a Turk, you get a strong and rich drink.
When choosing coffee for a Turk, it is important to pay attention to the country of origin. It is better to buy products from Central America, Costa Rica, Colombia and Kenya. The coffee of Indonesia and India is not of high quality, they should not be purchased for brewing in a Turk.
When buying whole grains, first of all, you need to pay attention to their appearance. They must be mold-free, the same size and not too dry. For example, robutsa grains are small and round in shape, making a strong drink with a strong aroma. Arabica beans are oblong and oily; they can be used to make a delicate drink. By the way, some coffee lovers mix these two types of beans in equal proportions.
Another important selection criterion is the degree of roasting of the beans. In this case, it is enough to remember that there are 5. 1 is the weakest, and 5 is the strongest. For cooking in a Turk, it is better to choose the first option, then the drink will not taste bitter.
