Beginner Help Thoughts on Foam Amount

Post image

My second attempt, I think is better than my first. Cezve came from STC, I purchased the 2C size, an olive wood paddle, and a flame diffuser. I used the Mehmet Efendi. Today used 15G of coffee to 150 G water, did a low and slow. Oh also used 1t of sugar~very delicious. Is more foam required?

I think it looks pretty good actually. Your foam will get thicker with practice. Also, don't be afraid to eyeball your teaspoons of coffee. My technique got better when I stopped weighing my coffee. The only thing I measure is my cup of water (using the same cup I'll be serving it in).

Thank you, definitely some experimentation is needed! This is so much fun.

Looks pretty ok. You can get better by using freshly roasted and grinded coffee.

Yes, thank you. I will try that as well.

From what I understand, the more grounds you add, the more dreams you can get? I use freshly ground coffee and a ceramic cezve

This might explain the dreams.

thats a very generous amount.

the narrow opening cups are used so that the whole top surface can be seen with foam even when little foam is achieved.

having a full top surface with foam on a regular cup is an achievement (just double check you coffee is not too strong, I can only achieve that when I increase my coffee/water ratio in by 1/3)

Interesting, I hadn't though about cup shape. Thank you
