I really want to try Turkish coffee, they say it is an exotic one. Expand As I understand it, its espresso-ground coffee and water (optionally also with sugar), brought to the boil in a pot then served directly into cups; you could probably make that yourself. Filtering isn't done though, so you will be getting a bunch of grounds in the coffee - its for people who want coffee you can chew 4 hours ago, Rixton said: On the other hand, not long ago at work, we run out of coffee, and someone offered us capsule coffee, we gave it a try. Well, I am not sure why many people like it, but it was just like it we ordered it from a very low quality coffee vending machine. Expand As far as I know, its "camp coffee" (like freeze dried coffee, but not freeze dried, left as a thick liquid) - the hot water from the machine washes the liquid out of the pot and dissolves it, but otherwise its just a fancy way to make instant coffee. some pod machines use actual coffee (basically a prepack with a built in filter) or I have seen machines that take "coffee bags" (just like tea bags, but with coffee in them) and pass the water though that. The problem really is that you need a fair bit more coffee grounds than you need tea when making a cupful, so there isn't room for a decent amount of grounds in a tiny capsule or bag...
