Italian Roasting for Ibrik

The Mikah Türkü N.6 Caffè Turco is a ground coffee specially designed for making Turkish coffee in a mocha pot, which is known as a cezve in Turkish and an ibrik in Arabic. To roast the Türkü N.6, the Milanese roastery Mikah Arabica mixes beans from Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala to create a unique blend. The roasting profile is specially designed for making Turkish coffee. After roasting, the beans are ground extra finely, which is ideal for the cezve.

How to prepare it

The Türkü N.6 Caffè Turco is designed for preparation in the Turkish cezve. The Türkü is not suitable for preparing typical western filter coffee due to its fine grind, or for espresso. For preparation in the mocha pot, also called ibrik or cezve, a ratio of 1 gram of coffee to 10 grams of water is recommended. For two (small) cups, 11 grams of coffee powder and 110 ml of water is a good starting point. Unlike other preparation methods, the coffee grounds are not separated from the drink by a filter or sieve after extraction. The fine powder settles at the bottom of the cup. Traditionally, the finished coffee is sweetened in Turkish. The result is a very intense and highly concentrated coffee that is difficult to compare with filter coffee and espresso.
