Can you answer Agent S’s question about Coffee?:
I recently purchased the turkish coffee pot and a bag of the finely ground coffee used for making it. I’m already about to run out of the coffee and I’m wondering what kind of roast I should get. The last coffee I got was actually imported from turkey. Is it necessary to use a blend of coffee that is imported from turkey or is it the way the coffee is made that makes it turkish? Any suggestions from people who know what they are talking about would be helpful.

Coffee Feedback: Any roast will do but I would suggest Colombian roast.
The trick is in the grounding of the beans.It has to be grounded a little coarsely from roasted beans in a coffee mill.
Coffee Feedback: It is not necessary to use a coffee imported from Turkey.
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.
Coffee Feedback: You can use any roast as long as it is grounded up properly.
I’d also suggest you get a small coffee mill like this one:
