Turkish material
Turka — is not just a cap with a handle in which water boils. This is a kind of magic that, thanks to the right material, can change the taste of your drink for the better or, on the contrary, deprive it of all the characteristics for which you actually started to love coffee. The material of turka — is the main element that determines not only the taste shades, but also the atmosphere of the process itself. Each material has its own character, its own property, its own unique aura.
The most popular materials
- CopperCopper turka — is a choice for true fans of the traditional way of making coffee. Copper perfectly conducts heat, which allows you to evenly heat coffee, creating a perfect texture. It is a material that will never lose its elegance, which brings the cooking process to life. Copper Turks have another important advantage — they add a special taste to coffee, emphasizing its richness and depth. But we must remember that copper turk requires special care: it must be polished periodically so that rust or darkening do not appear.
- Stainless steelStainless steel turk — is a more practical and reliable option for those who appreciate durability and ease of care. It does not require special cleaning procedures, is not afraid of rust and is resistant to high temperatures. Such a Turk — is an ideal option for those who want to enjoy the taste without unnecessary worries. Coffee is made of stainless steel with a rich taste, because the material retains heat well, and this allows you to preserve the aroma.
- Cast ironCast iron turk — is definitely a choice for connoisseurs of the traditional approach to coffee making. Cast iron not only keeps you warm perfectly, but also allows you to prepare coffee over very low heat. This is the case when each sip has the entire nature of the cooking process. Cast iron turk has the ability to “absorb” taste, and with each subsequent preparation it will give a richer and deeper taste.
"Don't be afraid to experiment with Turkish materials. Each of them brings its own unique touch to the aroma of your coffee."
Turkish size
Turka — is a tool for making coffee, so its size is no less important than the material. We all want coffee to be perfect, but for this we need enough space in the Turk so that the water does not overflow and the grains are well baked. The size of the Turk directly affects the intensity of the taste of the coffee. Each size — is an opportunity to create your own unique coffee world.
Sizes of Turks
- Little Turk (for 1-2 cups)It is an ideal choice for those who like to enjoy coffee alone. A small turka allows you to get the best taste from a small amount of coffee. It can be used to make espresso, which should always be rich, with a mild but deep taste. This is a choice for those who want to throw off all the worries of the day and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of intense coffee pleasure.
- Middle Turk (for 3-4 cups)A universal option for those who like to drink coffee in the company. It makes it possible to prepare coffee for two or three people without losing its taste. Coffee from the middle Turk is less rich, but its taste is well balanced, which allows you to combine different options for roasting and grinding grain.
- Great Turk (for 5 or more cups)A choice for those who like coffee not to run out and want to share this pleasure with several people. It is suitable for large families or for those who often receive guests. But remember that the bigger the Turk, the longer the cooking process, and over time the coffee may be less saturated due to longer boiling.
The bottom of the Turks
Few people mention him, but in vain. Not only the boiling speed depends on the shape of the bottom of the Turk, but also the uniformity of the coffee's heating. The correct shape of the bottom allows you to achieve a perfect cooking, in which each seed reveals its aroma and taste.
- Conical bottomAllows you to achieve uniform heating, which is ideal for making classic Turkish coffee. Such a bottom allows the coffee to warm up slowly and evenly, which allows you to get a richer taste, with elegant notes. This is ideal for those looking for balanced but deep coffee.
- Flat bottomMore common in modern Turks and allows you to prepare coffee on any type of stove, even on induction ones. A flat bottom guarantees fast and uniform heating, which, on the one hand, reduces cooking time, and on the other hand, — may not give as much depth of taste as conical.
"The perfect bottom — is the key to perfect taste. This important aspect should not be neglected."
How to choose a Turk depending on the plate?
Not every Turk is suitable for all types of plates. If you have an induction stove, you need to pay attention to special models with an induction bottom. Otherwise, your Turk simply will not work. Carefully choose a Turk according to the type of your stove to get the perfect result every time.
- For a gas stoveAlmost all Turks are suitable, but copper and cast iron give the best results. They keep warm for a long time and gradually heat the coffee, which allows you to carefully control the cooking process.
- For electric and induction platesThe choice of Turks is limited. If you have an induction stove, be sure to choose Turks with a special ferromagnetic bottom that can interact with the stove field.
"The Turk should not only brew coffee well, but also be convenient to use. Choose the one that is right for your stove."
Turk's handle
Let's not forget about the handle —, an important element on which convenience and safety during cooking depends. Choosing a — handle is actually a choice between comfort and the ability to avoid trouble. The correct handle should be resistant to high temperatures and should lie comfortably in the hand.
- Wooden handleA classic choice that does not heat up, so you can always keep the Turk comfortable. The wooden handle adds an ancient charm, emphasizing the traditional way of making coffee.
- Metal handleA more modern option that can be equipped with special thermal protection inserts for ease of use. The metal handle makes it possible to work comfortably even at high temperatures, but in order not to burn, you need to choose models with good thermal insulation.
When choosing a coffee grinder, you should pay attention to several important aspects: material, size, shape of the bottom, type of stove and handle. Do not be afraid to experiment, because each material and shape gives its own unique taste. The most important thing — is your enjoyment of the coffee making process and every sip of this unique drink.
