There are several ways to prepare a strong and aromatic drink. This is a classic preparation of coffee in a Turk on a fire, preparation in a coffee machine, including a geyser for making coffee Moka, as well as in a French press - with a French accent.
Making coffee in a Turk
Turk is a traditional and classic way. The best Turk is copper. The coffee should be prepared in one go, that is, it should be freshly prepared every time.
Coffee lovers believe that coarse coffee should be used for Turks. Large particles create a perfect harmony of aroma and taste.
Coffee beans must be ground just before preparation, then the finished drink will not lose its quality. At least pre-ground coffee should not be stored for more than a week. Thus, a store bought product is not the best option.
Water plays a very important role in the preparation of coffee. Of course, purified or artesian water is ideal. If tap water is used, it must be filtered.
To prevent extraneous odors from spoiling the magnificent aroma of a fresh drink, the Turk should not be washed using household chemicals. Experts recommend clean sand or soap without aromatic additives for washing Turks.
To feel the full taste and aroma of coffee per 100 ml of water, put at least 2 tbsp. spoons of freshly ground coffee. Accordingly, if it is necessary for the drink to turn out stronger, then more coffee is added to this amount of water.
The drink will be tastier and more aromatic if you cook it over low heat. The process of making coffee does not end when the water has boiled, but when it is just about to boil.
Only when the coffee is removed from the heat and poured into cups can you add additional ingredients to your taste - sugar, milk or cream, ginger, liqueur, and someone loves coffee with honey and lemon.
The main advantage of making coffee in a Turk is its simplicity, cheapness and the ability to experiment with its taste and strength.
Making coffee in a coffee maker
To prepare a drink in a coffee machine, they also take ground coffee beans. You can grind yourself, or you can take ready-made raw materials. There are also special coffee blocks that are designed specifically for preparing a drink in a coffee maker.
The raw material is poured into a special compartment of the mechanism, the corresponding button is pressed, and the coffee is ready. But such a drink cannot claim to be a classic coffee. In addition, during the cooking process, it will end up with a specific flavor.
You can also prepare a strong, invigorating drink in the French way in a special French coffee pot or a French press. Moka coffee can be made in a geyser coffee maker. The recipe for making coffee depends on the model of the appliance.
