Brewing in cezve
A perfect method for brewing original oriental coffee. Traditional oriental brewing method violates the modern rule to «never boil the coffee». Really, in cezve coffee is boiled with sugar, so coffee does not taste bitter. Especially fine ground coffee is required for original oriental coffee.

The easiest way to brew coffee:
cover two tablespoon of ground coffee with boiling water in a cup, and let it infuse. By the way, professional coffee testers brew it using this method during tastings.
Drip Brewer
In electrical drip brewer drops of hot water pass through ground coffee under effect of gravity. In about three minutes soft coffee with a slight sour taste producing no residue is made. Do not use fine grind, coffee will contact with water for too long and you’ll get bitter taste.
Espresso Machine
A cup of espresso is brewed in 28 seconds. The water is heated up to 90 °С. Under pressure of 9-15 bar the steam circulates through the ground coffee. That is how fine espresso coffee is made. Use fine grind. Light-brown firm foam on the surface identifies well-brewed espresso.
