There’s been a peculiar trend the past couple weeks. I’ve been getting requests for bulk coffee to be ground for a Turkish* preparation. Some people have found they enjoy the “extra strength” a finer grind gives their brew, but ultimately respond well to suggestions to increase the amount of coffee they’re using instead.

Others, it would seem, have come across the idea that they can have the beans ground finer, use less, and save.**

What the hell? Was this suggested on some news network money saving tip program?? I’m too scared to do the search myself. Seen anything like this?

*I’d rather call it “ibrik coffee” too, but what are you going to do…

**sort of a “Step 1: Brew awful coffee Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit” kind of situation.
