QuestionI have an iBrik and have ground my coffee to the finest setting. I've used espresso grounds and can't get the foam to start, what do I do?
Dathan MittonCommunity AnswerMost coffee grinders will not grind any finer than espresso, but even espresso grounds are too coarse for Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee grounds have a consistency not dissimilar to icing sugar, while espresso is almost like a coarse flour. Turkish coffee grinders are typically ornate hand grinders, but you can also get electric ones (much like any other electric grinder, but featuring the grind for Turkish coffee). -
