What type of Turkish coffee should I choose?
Today, there are generally two main types of coffee. And all brands are just a different grind, as well as a different consistency of the two varieties. Therefore, it is worth considering the main differences between Arabica and Robusta.
Table. Comparative characteristics
| Compound | Arabica | Robusta |
| Grains | Large, oval shaped. There is an S-shaped cut. | The size is smaller than Arabica, the cut is not so clearly defined. |
| Caffeine (daily dose) | 1.2% - 1.3% (6 cups) | 2.5% - 3% (2 cups) |
| Removing caffeine from the body | 1 day | Up to 20 days |
| Amount of aromatic oils | Before 18% | Up to 12% |

| Crema | It's hard to get foam | The foam is durable and quite dense |
| Plant type | Tree | Bush |
| Motherland | Ethiopia | Congo |
| Main manufacturer | Brazil | Vietnam |
Robusta, if pure, does not have a pronounced taste. The drink turns out bitter and strong
Important . Today, many people sell coffee where the beans have already been ground. It can also be used for Turkish. Moreover, in this case you won’t have to think about how to grind the grains. You only need to add the required amount of powder to the Turk and cook it in accordance with the rules. The drink turns out very tasty and tart.
It is necessary to understand that the best types of Turkish coffee remain unchanged. But few people drink Arabica and Robasta in their pure form. Therefore, the taste can change dramatically, depending on the manufacturer. The ranking shows the most popular types of coffee, but new ones are constantly appearing. Moreover, when it comes to taste, it is impossible to advise which is better. Therefore, it is recommended to buy the brands mentioned above, but you can always try others if you wish. Moreover, the cost of coffee beans is relatively low.
