What is Turkish Coffee?

Today at the store I noticed a setting on the grinder for Turkish coffee. It was the most Fine Grind of coffee possible. (At least on that grinder.)

Turkish coffee is prepared by boiling finely powdered roast Coffee Beans in a pot, possibly with sugar, and serving it into a cup, where the dregs settle.

That's pretty much how cowboys made their coffee, except that they didn't grind it so finely. They would toss some eggshell or some cold water into the pot to settle the grinds.

If you use a turkish grind in a regular Coffee Maker, it would clog the filter, and you'd have a godawful mess to deal with. I don't know if you could use a French Press or not, but I'd suggest just doing what the Turks do.

The same coffee is also known as Greek, Arabic, Armenian, Albanian, or Bosnian coffee, by the way.

Having been ground more finely, the coffee will release more of everything that it releases - color, flavor, and caffeine.
