Simit must be pretty good with cream cheese and coffee!!! If only one could find American style coffee in Turkey.. Sorry - you cannot change one´s coffee preferences.

We wont change Turkish customs because of YOU!!! {#emotions_dlg.razz}

My addictions don´t care if I´m in Rome or on the moon, coffee in the morning, means coffee in the morning AMERICAN STYLE! {#emotions_dlg.razz} Overpriced starbucks with sugar and cream, way too bitter worth of a thousand calories, so be it. As long as you got that we can continue with Turkish customs..

This is an insult to Turkish coffee and as a result of that, insult to Turkishness!!{#emotions_dlg.you_smartass}

Turk dont serve imperyalist coffee in the morning. We will NEVER accept that. In the end, we, Turks, brought the coffee to the west. If it was not Turks, you would still be sitting in cafes and chat without drinking anything. Infact, if it was not Turks, you would still be living in caves.

{#emotions_dlg.scared}I always bring my own coffee to Turkey.  I have a perk pot at my mother in laws house...I know it is time to go home when the coffee runs out.  

Although, I don´t mind Turkish tea, Turkish coffee is a bit like drinking a cup full of dirt.  SORRY!!!!!!!

I was watching on (a Turkish) TV something about health benefitsof coffee. The (Turkish) doctor there at the end said that "Of course I am speaking of Turkish coffee! The other ones (going through some industrial process) are not good for your health."

 

Probably you will not find supporting this claim when you do a web search. But think about it. Turkish coffee is more natural and I personally like (and also prefer) natural things.

Well I dont know what industrial process that might be.. 

Beans are almost same beans. I see it everyday: The guy puts the beans into the machine from the top, they are crashed and the hot water goes through the ground coffee I doubt that there is an industrial process from the point of grinding to the place where they get the ground coffee. Then frothing the milk..

I know the process because not that I have a capuccino every morning but I like watching them( before having my delicious Turkish coffee).

Btw. you can drink your Turkish coffee in posh places too :  http://www.kahvedunyasi.co.uk/news/press-releases/kahve-dunyasi-brings-turkish-coffee-to-london

I bet your Mother in Law has been complaining about your disrespectful behaviour  to her neighbours as soon as you leave. And calling Turkish coffee ´like drinking dirt´ can be considered a crime against Turkishness and  that itself a good reason to get divorced!!! You might be SORRY!!!!

I like Turkish coffee but I cannot think of it as real coffee. If I had to give up real coffee I doubt if Turkish coffee would even alleviate my withdrawal symptoms.
