she made it too light, it was tea colored almost, and i saw when she was making it she used 2 teaspoons, i mentioned that it wouldn't be enough and i was right, anyways, redone, right, and finished, made about 3 cups



hahaha, funny that I had this conversation with my wife last night. She is the best cook ever and she makes everything perfect, except tea and coffee.

I love "kushari" tea and green mint leafs with my shisha....

while I listen to Um Kalthoum.....


Brings me back to the good old days when I learned how to smoke.

well i talked to john about this subject and he suggested najjar and after i did some research it turns out that if your gona drink turkish coffee this is the one to be drinking, if it was a shisha it would be nakhla/tangiers..lol so i went out and picked up a 450g's of it with cardamom for $6.29..i got it locally from a middle eastern store by my house..you can get it only for about $5..anyways on the package it says pure brazilian ground coffee arabica 100% and on the back it says made in lebanon..and i also needed a turkish coffee pot..all the ones i saw where really small and i like to drink in big mugs..so i bought a new pot and i also picked up something thats caught my eye many times..its NOON cocoa power to make chocolate milk..not sure why but i really wanted to try this..so here some pics






for scale

lol i feel like im insulting the whole process and event of sitting down and smoking a hookah when i use regular american coffee..IT DOES NOT PLEASE THE HOOKAH GODS!!!..lol


A lot of the coffee on the shelves in any grocery store is from outside of the U.S. You can usually find that kind of information on the package.

Ya bro, do ya not drink Khava?

Well im Iraqi assyrian too, and didnt start drinking khava on a daily basis till i met my fiance. She is Iranian assyrian (luckily no nasty accent).

If you use milk, use whole milk and half the sugar. Ya get a really nice rich flavor.

Wallah i like Chai (Tea) Al Wazeh Ceylon for sure... always with Hail (cardamon), depending what i am smoking, i will throw some cin sticks in the kettle and let it steep for a good 10 mins.

If i drink Qahwe Arabiya or Arabic Coffee, it was always an Arabic thing first. Najjar is a decent brand... Any arabica coffee you get and ground "turkish" will get you the results, and then have some freshly ground cardamom to compliment. I like its Sadah or Plain most of the time, sometimes sugar, never as much as john tho...

Afterward i sit around with my friends and pretend i can reed the finjaan and see the future

I honestly think you subliminally bought that pot because you saw john's pot in the video... John has that impact on you eh?

i will admit he has that effect on me..lol



I saw one of John's KM Exoticas in his video and I bought one. lol.. he has that effect. He's a good salesman without being a salesman. The pipes sell themselves! biggrin.gif
