Humphreys posted:A guy at work is going bananas about this new coffee machine he is getting for his desk. All he tells me is that it's a 'Turkish Coffee Maker' as in the type of coffee and what it makes is really strong. I wonder if he is a bit too into it and the fact that it's a Beko (a brand who manufactures their appliances in Turkey) and that it just makes normal coffee as strong as you want and the turkish part has nothing to do with the process. Beko are a Turkish company, they use that name for goods they sell in English speaking markets as their Turkish name (Arçelik) has the potential for misuse. The Turkish part has a lot to do with the style of coffee and your guy at work sounds like an idiot. For starters Turkish coffee uses a finer ground than any other method, so he'll either need a decent grinder, a coffee shop that will grind some beans super fine for him or to buy preground which I think I've seen on the shelves in the USA. You fill the kettle with the right amount of coffee grounds and one espresso cup full of water per coffee you're making. All the machine does is heat it to boiling and turns off after a preprogrammed amount of time. You then carefully pour the contents out into each cup, making sure you get a good crema on the top of each cup. It is strong espresso style however the grounds are still in the bottom of the cup - you drink until you start getting them in your mouth. Personally I hate the style.

Boiled Water posted:I thought turkey was more tea country Tea is ubiquitous but Turkish coffee is very much its own tradition. Using the grounds for fortune telling is still common although more out of fun than any sincere belief, at least in the western cities.

Platystemon posted:I take it the c‐with‐cedilla makes a sound like s? 'Ch' so when pronounced correctly there's no issue, but the first time I came to the country as an idiot British teenager seeing what I thought was 'arselick' splashed over all the white goods was enough to make me lol. Beko probably played better with focus groups sounding vaguely Scandinavian or German.

Would it kill Microsoft or Google to just stick to one line of products keeping the same names and functionality and improve upon them iteratively?

3D Megadoodoo posted:What's wrong with single-use appliances? Do you make coffee in a cauldron? Do you grind pepper with karate chops? Do you spread butter with a table knife? I imagine most people are drinking coffee, grinding pepper and spreading butter a whole lot more than misting their popcorn with melted butter
