Have you ever drunk turkish coffee, made by a turkish coffee artist? The most important element of this coffee is its natural foam. The thickness of the coffee foam prepared by a turkish coffee brewer can sometimes compete with the thicknes of the foamed-milk on a cappuccino. That’s because they have a lot of practice behind the skill of obtaining that delightful foam, and that’s what makes their coffee famous. 

Almost everyone likes a very nice and thick, genuine coffee foam on their black coffee. Therefore, in this article I’m going to put into view a few tips to know, on how to obtain an nice foam for your coffee.

However, before that I want to make clear one thing. No matter how thick and good looking the foam on your coffee is, it’s pointless if the coffee itself is bad. Therefore, you should always prepare coffee from freshly ground coffee beans. Always use a clean pot, and if you’re using a mocha pot, make sure you clean it digilently after every use, otherwise you coffee will get a grungy taste. 

Now, let’s have a look at the process of obtaining a satisfying foam for your coffee.

1. First of all, if you making pot coffee, you should measure the water and properly dose the coffee, which has to be stron. You should have at least two full teaspoons of coffee for each cup of water. 

2. Put the water in the pot and heat it up, without boiling it. The water must not reach the boiling point. 

3. Pull off the pot from the stove, add the coffee and the sugar (sugar shouldn’t exceed more than two teaspoons per cup) and stir properly but not violently until the foam takes shape.

4. Place the pot on the stove once more and reheat it once more until it almost reaches the boiling point. Make sure it doesn’t boil because that will burn your coffee and give it a burnt taste. Of course, some people like that, but most people don’t. It’s actually considered a defect.

5. Last but not least, if you want, you can collect all the foam that has formed and portion it equally inside the cups, before pouring the coffee. 

I hope these tips help. Also remember that to brew a coffee to envy, it’s best to buy coffee beans and ground them yourself right before the moment of the brewing. By the way, nowadays you can even buy coffee online.
