Back on topic, the previous poster's comments about using boiling water gave me an idea - you could try turkish/greek coffee if the coffee is ground fine enough. That is boiling the coffee in water over a flame (usually with plenty of sugar and some spices such as cardamon). If you're interested then you could google that and it would tell you how. However, this makes a strong cup (with lots of sludge at the bottom) so it certainly isn't to everyone's taste.

You have done it now, I made a Turkish cezve (coffee pot) at college - I will have to dig it out now and get some condensed milk for the real Ankara coffee experience.



(mine is fatter and rounder with a round handle but you get the idea).
