That's true. Turkish coffee is the most political coffee there is. In Israel, it's a national drink (and referred to as Turkish coffee, no appropriation on that one). However, there is a proper version and a lazy version. The proper one is where one would cook the coffee on a hob. Takes some time and care. The lazy one, which I sin with 3-4 times every day, is a a heaped spoon at the bottom of a glass (never china/porcelain, and usually larger than a proper turkish coffee cup), hot water on top and a hefty mix. Quick, dirty and hits so many spots I can't even begin to imagine life without it.
