KURUKAHVECI MEHMET EFENDI Turkish Coffee, Cezve Set, Roasted Ground,Rich Aroma, Turkish Coffee Set, Original Taste Since 1871 (8.8 OZ / 250 Gr) with Cezve

Love this coffee. I like strong coffee and this one is awsome. With milk and a little honey. I like that it comes with the little coffee pot. I purchased 2 one for me and one for my son

This review is for the Turkish Coffee set offered by Mehmet Effendi:I have always wanted to try the original method of making coffee - Turkish Coffee! The coffee comes the perfect powder fine grind, nice and strong, and with a beautiful stainless steel pot which can hold up to three little jots of Turkish coffee. (I would recommend no more than two at a time, though!) The pot is thin and well made, easily washed, and transmits heat evenly. The recipe is a bit strong, so be warned! I have had to try four ruined recipes to get some semblance of real coffee. :)The best recipe for me was to put a single slightly mounded teaspoon of coffee and about half a teaspoon of sugar, fill a Turkish coffee cup (or espresso cup) with a jot of milk or creamer, put it in the pot and stir very very very very well. Put it on low-medium heat, and do NOT stir it once it is on the heat. The rest of the Turkish coffee recipe is simple - bring it up to a froth, spoon the froth/foam gently into the cup or cups, sharing the foam evenly between cups. Put it back to the low heat, but do not let it boil. Pour the coffee down the sidewall of the cup or cups once the pot forms little bubbles across the top - be gentle and go slow so as not to break the delicate foam in the cup and on the surface of the coffee. Place the cover on the coffee cup to retain heat, and let it sit til the grounds settle (it will take a few minutes). DO NOT stir it after putting it on the heat or while in the cup!:) Above all else - TRY THIS! It's amazing.

While shopping for a small cezve coffee pot that was dishwasher safe I came across this package. For basically the price of a cezve this one included 12 oz of coffee. Then I searched to see what a tub of coffee sells for and thought - hey, great deal. I wasn't expecting the best cezve in the world, and this one is about as light duty as you'd expect "for free", but so far it has survived a few uses and a run through the dishwasher.Now, for the coffee - it is quite good for pre-ground! The date on the can was a long way from expiration so the coffee is assumed to be reasonably fresh, but it is quite smooth and not as bitter as most turkish cafe coffee I've had.So overall, a great bargain. The box it comes in is even attractive enough to gift a coffee snob that has everything.

bold, highly caffeinated, and concentrated coffee. easy to follow directions on the package. pot is a bit small, but is more than enough for a single cup. it’s easy to burn if you’re not paying close attention. this is a good kit!

I had always wanted to brew Turkish coffee at home. Here restaurants charge $3.50-$6 per cup. This kit was a great way to start. Mehmet Efendi coffee produces excellent flavor. It's not necessarily the freshest coffee and it's possible to find better, but you won't go wrong with it. The included cezve basically adds $5-6 to the cost of buying a 250gm can separately. While stainless steel doesn't have the conductivity of copper, this cezve is perfectly fine for brewing coffee. The size I received was 8oz (completely full). This size would work well for 2 small demitasse cups of 60-70mL each. I prefer to brew a single 100ml cup which works just fine too. Others have noted that when empty it can tip over. I find that when empty it won't tip over, but could easily do so with a light touch. However, when filled with water it's stable and I've had no trouble brewing with it. One day I'll purchase a copper cezve, but for now I'm perfectly happy with this product.

Yummy. A fun way to have coffee

I got this as a gift for my sister, who had never tried Turkish coffee before. It turns out that she prefers using a machine rather than a pot on the stove, however she did put the Turkish coffee into her espresso machine. She said that the result from having the Turkish coffee in the espresso machine was amazing, and she bought more of this same type of coffee specifically to put in her espresso machine. I don't know if this offends the sensibilities of proper Turkish coffee drinkers, but it's worth noting from a taste and ease of use perspective that this is an option.

The package came promptly and undamaged. The fit and finish of the cezve is excellent. The coffee canister was vacuum packed, and hissed when the seal was broken. Unfortunately, I bought this for a Turkish colleague, who though pleased with my gesture, and though the brand is both famous and her favorite, remarked after making us each a fancin (demitasse) that the included pre-ground coffee barely had any flavor, as though it had been stored overlong. I'm no connoiseur, so I couldn't tell one way or the other -- it tasted like coffee to me -- but she says she'll bring me some from Istanbul the next time she visits.
