I found a coffee I want to try - Pannikin Turkish - I just need to now find an ibrik.

Any leads on those? I don't even know what I'm looking for in an ibrik, other than I know they cost a fortune.

You really don'y need a cezve to make Turkish coffee .... my wife actually uses a small saucepan for it.

And I'll call her tonight .... everybody was using the phones due to the Superbowl last night.

Thanks again! You've made my weekend for sure.

Is there anything I can send you in return?

No, I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around

Here's where we begin to distinguish between 'wants' and 'needs.'

I want a cigar and a cup of coffee...

The hell with cigars and coffee. I'll take gin and hookers any day !!

Today, I finished the bag of Portugese coffee Paddy so generously enlightened us with a few weeks back. Really really tasty stuff. Paddy, I'll be letting you know if we decide to put in another order for it - definitely interesting, and definitely a keeper. It was a sad day indeed, and to commemorate, I had it as a french press. In my opinion, that was the best way to enjoy that particular coffee (and most coffees).

But I'm still interested in other coffees other members may be enjoying - it could be a local roaster, a local blend sold at farmer's markets or organic food stores or local groceries, anything like that. Let me know, and we can work out some kind of deal/trade/sale.

Consider this a standing offer - but please PM me and let me know first before sending and demanding payment. Thanks!

Paddy,

You are too kind. He generously gifted me some more coffee from his local Portugese market that I have never seen before. We are still about a week away from finishing our existing bag of coffee, but I'm very excited about trying this stuff out. Thanks so much!

**mrtr33** · 03-24-2010, 01:14 PM

Brennen totally hooked me up with some coffee today - several different wonderfully-smelling blends from a local roaster in his area.

Thank you so very much, brother, I'm really looking forward to trying these out! That was very kind of you!

**ndv21** · 03-24-2010, 01:16 PM

Nice job there guys!

The PM would go through a lot easier if you would clean out your inbox.

Okay this is what I got from her, and it was like I was trying to get a national secret or something.

Mehmet Efendi, 8 O'Clock Bean, or any decent roast that is either already ground for Turkish coffee and sealed (like Mehmet Efendi) or is in bean form and you can get a really good grinder to grind it fresh. Espresso ground will not work, it has to be Turkish ground as it ends up being like moist talcum powder. She also said that preferably have a dedicated grinder for doing this because the adjustable ones at the grocery stores don't always work.
