As you probably know by now, I <em>love</em> coffee. In fact, if you google "<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Karolinka+coffee&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a#hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=09&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;q=+site:karolinkabulgaria.com+Karolinka+coffee&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=bZRTToyXE9DBtAbZ7Lz5Dw&amp;ved=0CAIQqAQwBA&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&amp;fp=a0030c204cd7ff60&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=637" target="_blank">karolinka coffee</a>" you can get a sense of just how often I write about coffee. It's a lot. Maybe, just maybe I should be embarrassed by how much I write about coffee.

This said, I don't drink a lot of Turkish coffee.

I had a cup this weekend and I was reminded why. <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large" title="Turkish Coffee" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29050866@N06/6068936306/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6081/6068936306_6ac6e97af9_b.jpg" alt="Turkish Coffee" width="614" height="410" /></a>

I like the idea of the coffee but I don't love the mouth feel.

It's the bits of finely ground coffee on the roof of my mouth that I don't dig. I like the richness of the coffee. It's intensely coffee-y. But while I really like the intense coffee favor it doesn't usually balance out the fact that most of the time the coffee has been made too sweet for my taste.

Maybe I need to start making my own but I can't help but think: if I don't love it in a shop, will I love it any more if I make it at home?

The thing is I can and do drink Turkish coffee, I just don't enjoy it the same way I enjoy other cups of coffee like espresso, french press or drip.
