Turk: device, choice and rules of use

For most people, coffee is the permanent morning drink that allows you to step back from sleep and cheer up. One is quite a bit of boiling water and instant coffee powder, diluted with a certain amount of sugar. But lovers of true taste have to mess around at the stove to get the perfect morning drink. And after all, quality coffee depends not only on the type and degree of roasting of the beans, but also on the device in which it is brewed.

In this case we are talking about the Turk. And this is not surprising, because coffee nectar, brewed in a special container, has a unique aroma and rich taste.

Cezve is a special dish created for brewing coffee over an open fire. The design of the device is made in the form of a miniature bucket with a thick base and a thin neck. It allows you to turn roasted coffee beans, previously crushed into crumb, into an exquisite drink of cheerfulness.

Attempts to brew grain coffee with ordinary boiling water will not be crowned with success; it will not be possible to create the temperature required for preparing a drink in a mug. Turk is able to withstand boiling water.

True connoisseurs of this coffee drink consider the process of self-brewing coffee a special ritual, interconnected with human hands and intimate gaze. They do not trust automatic devices for making an invigorating drink.

In past centuries there was a belief that a noble coffee drink should be prepared in the appropriate grade dishes. Therefore, cezves made of cheap metals were not even considered as kitchen utensils.

Special attention should be paid to the device of the Turks. Presented dishes for no reason has an unusual shape. Due to the narrow mouth of the coffee drink can not run out on the stove at the time of boiling. And inside the design, a cream-colored foam is formed on top of the coffee drink, which is considered by most coffee people to be a real treat. The lower part of the design of the Turks has a wide shape and a flat bottom.

Today you can meet the Turks, composed of several parts. Accordingly, they have a weld that the manufacturer is trying to hide in any way. If it turned out to get a cezve, folded from several parts, it is necessary to carefully familiarize yourself with the connection line. A weak joint will be the main cause of leakage.

Fans of coffee substitutes do not understand the difference between a coffee drink brewed in a coffee maker and a Turk. But true connoisseurs of properly prepared coffee with confidence argue that the Turk is the only option to create the right drink.

From the first time to make coffee in the Turk is extremely rare. In most cases, the first 3 or even 4 portions will have to be sent to the pipeline. With a coffee maker, everything looks much simpler, it does everything automatically.It is enough to fill in the coffee beans, powdered, and pour the required amount of water.

Considering the pricing policy, we can confidently say that The simplest model of the Turks at the cost goes much cheaper than the usual coffee maker. In addition, the coffee drink in the cezve is prepared much faster than in an automatic unit.

Today there is a universal device, a cross between a Turk and a coffee maker, namely an electric jazz. In appearance, it resembles an electric kettle, having a heating plate connected to the mains. Turk itself is installed on top of a special groove that supplies power. The handle of the device is removable, so the unit easily folds into the luggage. In addition to the technical characteristics, connoisseurs of a true coffee drink claim that it turns out to make real flavored coffee in an electric turk.

Another difference between the pots and the coffee maker is in the process of making a coffee drink. From the first minutes of boiling water, coffee that is being prepared in the Turk begins to emit an amazing smell, and the coffee machine drowns out the aromas.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to cook something special with coffee machines. On the other hand, the coffee machine is able to make different types of coffee, for example, cappuccino or espresso. The Turk cannot afford this, but in the skilled hands of the master it will turn out to create the right coffee drink according to a special recipe, and then season it with cream or cinnamon.

To date, the most common device for making coffee with their own hands is a jazz. And only sophisticated coffee lovers can boast of knowledge about the different types of this kitchen item, allowing to fill the morning with exciting aromas.

A variety of Armenian Turks, shaped like a cone with a curved nose and a long handle. The process of manufacturing srdzhepa different many nuances. First, the form is squeezed in the opposite direction.

The initial blank is pressed by a heavy weight, then turned upside down. From the narrow side, the bottom is cut off and installed on a wide part. Then the device is shaped and a chasing is applied on top, moreover, exclusively by hand. The final step is annealing. According to the traditions of Armenia, cooking utensils, including the Turks, are decorated with national patterns.

The roots of such an unusual name originate in the Persian dialect. The literal translation sounds like "pour water." Historical documents indicate that it was the ibrick that was the first coffee making device that had no analogues. Used it for a long time. In appearance, the ibrik resembles a jug with a capacity of 100 ml.

Although archaeologists have managed to find stationary ibriks with a capacity of 100 liters. The design of the device has a thin long nose, through which it is very convenient to pour hot water. And thanks to the rounded base and flat bottom provides additional stability.

In ancient times, coffee was considered a drink of nomads and Bedouins, and with the advent of it on the territory of Arabia, the picture has changed dramatically. Coffee began to be consumed in noble houses, due to which the status of the drink was increased, and it was made to cook it only in exceptional dishes.

A prerequisite for the design of the design was the figure corresponding to noble houses. The first copies of dallas were made of metal, although at one time they were made of clay.

Modern models of the Turk for the preparation of coffee drinks have different volumes, differ in shape, in the form of the handle, and are also made of various materials.

Copper is a relatively cheap material, which corresponds to the pricing policy of the finished dishes. The distinguishing features of copper are strength and durability. This material has proven itself only on the positive side, and therefore is used for industrial needs. Copper has a high thermal conductivity, so that in the process of brewing coffee, you can use any source of heat.

And in order to protect the human body from the negative effects of copper, the internal The surface of the Turks is covered with an additional layer of silver, tin or stainless steel.

Modern coffee kits include small sandboxes and vanes made of copper material. These kits are ideal for city apartments.

For a long time, clay was a common and easily accessible material from which not only the Turks were made, but also other items of kitchen utensils. Thanks to technological progress, other materials appeared that were easier to use than clay. Accordingly, the cost of clay products has increased several times. The distinctive characteristic of clay turkey is a long process of cooling the coffee beverage, during which the coffee is saturated with oxygen.

In addition, clay constructions are very easily washed. No need to use detergents, just rinse the pots with cold water.

Ceramics, like clay, ideally maintains the temperature of the drink, which is why it is constantly necessary to monitor the cooking process. As soon as the first hints of boiling appear, the pot should be immediately removed from the heat. The only disadvantage of ceramics is fragility, therefore such Turks should be protected from falls and accidental strikes.

Modern material, relatively recently received the demand of manufacturers, but has not yet gained much interest from consumers. In the structure of glass cezve in most cases there is no narrow neck. Its walls are thin, therefore the contents of the Turks warms up quickly. If you take a break for a couple of seconds, boiling liquid will spill on the stove. Glass design is most often acquired by connoisseurs of coffee drink, Loving to experiment with new varieties of coffee.

A distinctive feature of glass Turks is the volume, which is enough to treat several people at once. The analogue of glass Turks are crystal and quartz jazz. The thickness of these products allows you to maintain the required temperature of the drink a little longer than ordinary glass. In appearance, crystal, quartz and glass Turks have no differences.

Universal material from which not only coffee pots are created, but also other types of dishes. Generally used are all aluminum or stainless steel. In more ancient times, valuable metals, such as silver and gold, were used as their analogues. According to historical notes, silver and gold dishes were present only in noble houses.

Metal structures heat up very quickly and are able to keep the temperature inside the vessel for a long time. The steel model of cezve is in wide demand among novice coffeemen.

Special attention requires brass construction of the Turks. From this material it turns out not just to smelt the dishes, but also to create an individual decor on the surface. The main thing is that brass cools for a very long time, so coffee lover will be able to enjoy the taste and aroma of an invigorating elixir for a long time.

Any utensils made of aluminum material is very convenient for hiking, the same goes for enamelled structures. A distinctive feature of aluminum is low weight and low cost. Accordingly, a randomly forgotten jazz in a pile of ashes at a picnic will not make you upset. The only disadvantage of aluminum turks is structural instability.

Aluminum Turks are far from ideal in appearance, often the shape of products resembles a dipper or a kind of coffee pot. Classic appearance is extremely rare. The sophisticated coffee lovers are repelled by the design of the structure, which in no way can become an adornment of the kitchen space.

The classical form of the Turks for coffee is simply obliged to have a traditional appearance, namely, a narrow neck and a wide bottom, the width of the top and bottom should be twice as different. The narrow neck of the Turk helps to minimize the open area of ​​the product, so that the drink on top is covered with more knocked-up foam. It is in this cap that the unusual aroma of the drink is preserved, and the evaporation of essential oils is also blocked.

In addition, the narrowed neck relative to the bottom indicates a strong inclination of the side walls of the product. This factor plays an important role in the process of boiling the drink. Because of the design features, coffee does not rise up, but, conversely, flows down, concentrating on the bottom.

And in principle, this is a well-founded opinion against dzhev with a thickened base.

The main thing is that the thick bottom of the structure does not have thin walls. This fact indicates the connection of two parts of the product, which may be the cause of reduced reliability. This is especially pronounced with frequent temperature changes. And the adhesion joint itself is not always made from high-quality metal. Often used alloys of suspicious origin.

If the design of the Turks entirely has thick walls, then the device will quickly release the accumulated heat, only during the cooking process it will be much more difficult to control the boiling time.

Special attention should be paid to the size of the cezve. It is believed that classical design should not have a volume of more than 100 ml. Usually they make about 50 or 75 ml of coffee. Experienced coffee makers claim that to treat a lot of people, you should make 50 ml of coffee at a time. Firstly, it will turn out to surprise guests with quality, and secondly, to please with quantity. The main thing that will surprise the present features of the drink.

In modern models, in addition to bright design, there are additional nuances. For example, many Turkish designs are complemented by a lid. And the handles do not always have a convenient form, most often they play a decorative role in the dishes.

To date, there is a wide variety of dishes designed for the preparation of this coffee. We are talking about jazz of manual and factory production. A greater number of Turks on the world market are made. on the territory of Armenia, South Ossetia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. However, some copies have a lifetime warranty.

Particular attention is paid to the production of jazz companies. Soywhere instead of machine tools used the skill of human hands. Products of this brand are in demand all over the world. Each individual copy is created from a single sheet of copper. The outer side is made by embossing with interesting patterns. The inner part is covered with a layer of silver. Thanks to their sturdy construction, the Turks of Soy are inherited.

If we consider the manufacture of the Turks on a production scale, the company takes the leading position Ceraflame with its ceramic products. Products have many positive characteristics. For example, these Turks are not toxic, they bravely tolerate abrupt temperature changes, their outer layer prevents scratches, and most importantly, they can be used on an open fire. The entire range of dzhezv has the correct classical form, the difference between them - only in volume and color.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, the level of leadership was divided among themselves by two enterprises - LLC "Stanitsa" and "Gus-Crystal Glass Factory". At the same time, “Stanitsa” creates Turks from copper, where each finished specimen has a thickened bottom, a comfortable handle and an unusual design. And "Gus-Khrusalny glass factory" produces cezves from rock crystal. Thanks to this material, the Turks are transparent, which looks especially beautiful.

In addition to the world-famous brands engaged in the manufacture of pots, there are other companies that have proven themselves on the positive side.

Multiple disputes among coffee people about which Turk is the best will never end. The reason for these disputes is not only the peculiarity of preparing a coffee drink, but also the characteristic of cooking stoves. After all, every housewife knows that dishes intended for an electric stove will not always be able to withstand the operation of a gas burner. For example, for a stove with a standard gas connection, equipped with several burner options with an open flame, you should choose metal models of pots made of copper, steel, brass and even bronze.

To avoid damage to the appearance of the Turks, it is necessary to use a divider, which is a separator between the flames and dishes. If the divider for gas stoves is used on a permanent basis, you can use the Turks, made of ceramics, glass, porcelain or clay.

Holders of dishes that bestow a morning drink of vivacity, you should know the features of care for this item. For washing most varieties of the Turks can not use aggressive detergents.
