Selamlique Turkish Coffee Istanbul 4 boxes of Turkish Coffee Taste Selection in Gift Box (Dark Roast, Mastic, Cardamon, Cinnamon), 4.4 ounces

Unfortunately, this coffee falls short of authentic Turkish coffee standards. The flavor profile resembles instant coffee, which differs significantly from the rich, traditional taste I expected.

Delivery box was fine. But when I opened the box it was like this . Coffee also doesn't foam. Not good quality.

I am by no means a coffee connoisseur, and do not have previous experience with Turkish coffee, so I didn't have any particular expectations. I do not have a cezve, so I read up on alternate preparation methods and tried it both on in a saucepan and using my espresso machine. Maybe if I had the equipment to prepare it properly, I would have been more impressed, but I just found it to be ok. The cinnamon was definitely my favorite, but the flavor was not as rich as I expected (again, could be user/preparation error).

I don’t have the necessary equipment to brew it traditionally, so I use a coffee machine like I normally do. I guess the cans are nice, but one came a bit dented in the back unfortunately. Taste wise, personally it just tastes like normal coffee, probably due to me using a coffee machine.
