Nothing. It's just not really my taste. I like to have some fine grind on my tongue and biting it, but still, the overall taste is slighty different than other brewing methods - that'S what makes it Turkish coffee, I guess, and not another Espresso.
But it tastes terrible if brewing it wrong, however - too fast and then letting the foam burn. Happened to me several times when I tested it earlier this month and did not klnow the right way. Must be cooked
very slowly, with low heat. Patience, caution, low heat and constant stirring - that did the trick for me. Taste was okay - but I like the other ways of coffee much better.
That's all. No culture clash thing involved!
Coffee is coffee - either you like it, or not.
I knew
cahve from earlier years, btw, when travelling down there extensively, but I never have tried to brew it myself back then, just learned it just weeks ago. The kind of Turkish coffee is known in Greece, former Yugoslavia and the ME, under varying names, so varies the name of the
cezve. But the principle is always the same.
