Note to self: when making faux-Turkish coffee don’t forget to put the sugar in first and instead try to compensate by using Muscovado sugar at the end. Also take the time to look for the finer ground coffee in its suspiciously unlabeled jar rather than just grabbing the stuff that goes in the cafetière.
Though I suppose it’s the logical next step on from: don’t make faux-poutine with parmesan.

Also, a Turkish coffee tutorial.

You're my hero for this. And now I'm getting an Ibrik. From wanting Turkish coffee so much, I've been drinking black tea with sugar all day now. The funny unlabeled one.

How about this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=290057275183&rd=1&rd=1)?
My only problem is that the stronger the coffee, the more likely I am to end up yawning after drinking it. At some point, possibly around the time I’d took to drinking mugs of espresso, it just seemed to stop working and now my body processes the caffeine in coffee differently to the caffeine in anything else.

That one is wonderful! Though I owe this lady in a local store a visit this month anyway, and since I'm sort of a regular customer (and they are Arabs, they negotiate ♥), I'm going to ask her first. Though I honestly doubt they have anything that looks so pretty.
And finally somebody else with intolerance for too much caffeine! I tend to have the same problem. Espresso really is deadly. Two cups (Espresso cups, mind you) and I could sleep, depending on how strong it is. At least my concentration is terrible then. While normal coffee does not seem to have this effect at all.
