I do not drink Turkish coffee. I find it too concentrated and bitter. But I LOVE Natasha's Cairo and Beber Turkish style coffee. Why? Because you don't have to use it to make Turkish coffee! You can put it in a regular coffeemaker and it will brew regular American coffee. Use just slightly less than you would of regular ground coffee to compensate for the finer grind.

But why would you want to do that? I'll tell you. Because Natasha's Cairo and Berber taste SO MUCH BETTER than American coffee you will be amazed. Why? Two words cardamom: (Cairo) and coriander (Berber). Both these spices suck the bitterness straight out of the coffee and leave it tasting delicious without even the slightest hint of sweetness, and de minimus calories.

Try it just once. You will be amazed. But be forewarned. You will also feel cheated and wonder "why oh why have I been drinking this American swill that I can only choke down with a cup of milk and a tablespoon of sugar all my life?" That's right. Black coffee doesn't have to taste bad. Try Natasha's Cairo or Berber brands and you'll find out why.

BTW, Don't order the other brands because without cardamom or coriander Turkish coffee is even more bitter than American. And don't order the Najjar, even with cardamom. Its not the same quality as Natasha's own blends, maybe because Natasha's grinds theirs in Kentucky, not in Beirut.

This coffee is wonderful. Turkish Coffee has a way of getting you all the flavor possible out of the beans and Natashas Cairo does not disappoint. I've tried some of the more mainstream Turkish Coffee's but Natashas is a step or two above the rest. If you like this try Natashas' Berber blend.

This coffee has very good flavor and reminds me of my time living in Jordan. It sure brought back many memories. That said, I have finally found a local supplier that is much more reasonably priced. But if you can't find Turkish coffee in your area, this is a very good product.
