Peet's Turkish Coffee Recipe

INGREDIENTS

8 oz fresh, cold filtered water

8 tsp coffee

4 tsp sugar

¼ tsp freshly ground cardamom (4 pods)

Cinnamon (optional)

Makes four, 2 oz servings

Originally named "Peet's Coffee, Tea & Spices", Peet's has a long history of offering high quality spices, in addition to fresh roasted coffee and hand-selected teas. In honor of this heritage, we invite you to experience Turkish coffee.*


Turkish coffee is prepared by boiling finely powdered coffee beans in a traditional Ibrik (a pot), often with spices and sugar resulting in a strong, flavorful cup. This method dates back to the 16th century and is common throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Caucasus, and the Balkans.

Try this simple brewing method at home and discover the ancient tradition of Turkish coffee with the rich, strong taste of Peet's deep-roasted coffee and top quality spices.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

Grind coffee to a powder using the finest setting on your grinder.

Add all ingredients to the Ibrik and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Note: Never take your eye off the brewing process, as it can quickly boil over.

Heat the brew over medium low heat. As the mixture reaches a boil, it will foam upwards. As it nears the top rim, remove the Ibrik from the heat and let the coffee settle.

Repeat this brewing process twice more, removing from heat each time.

Let the brew rest for 30 seconds then serve without straining.

Enjoy the spicy, syrupy-thick flavor. The powdery grounds stay suspended in the brewed coffee, adding to its richness. Some leave the last sip in the bottom of the cup where the heavier grounds have settled.
Makes four, 2 oz servings

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

-

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
