To be honest, it just came out that way after soaking it in some acid for a while - I have heard of people polishing it with a dremel or something, but I was lucky enough not to have to do that. I made a very mild acid solution with Sulphamic Acid (not the same as Sulphuric Acid). I am pretty sure you can use any food grade acid and it should sort you out. I know people have used citric, but I couldn't tell you if that's better or worse. For the paint, I just took it to a car painter and he gave me a sweet deal. In hind sight, car paint is probably not durable enough for a busy cafe setting - it chips quite easily. I would probably try to powder coat it if it was a really nice machine, or just wrap it like you suggested because at least wrapping can be done over and over again if it gets scratched or you want a change of colour.

@@timmilatte yea I soaked in citric acid.....also tried oxidation remover...it looks OK...but not as shiny as yours. Yea a lot of forgiveness with the 3m wrap. Just depends how hot the outside gets.....could be an issue. I appreciate the fast response

@@boneyloc Sorry man, CZcams didn't notify me about your second message. I think my boiler might have been chrome plated on the outside. It's been a long time so I can't remember, but in the video if you look closely then you can see it's not as shiny in the holes of the boiler where the pipes are supposed to go.

Yeah I’m sorry - I had some Turkish music originally that everyone loved, but then it got copyright claimed and I had to remove it :-(

@@timmilatte :( Sorry i missed your previous comment talking about the copyright.. Did you pin the important comment?

Hi Cat, unfortunately I don't have the original video any more, but I might rebuilt another one and video the journey as I go :-)

@@timmilatte ok, thx:)

Keaton Row it was a bit of a challenge finding parts because Brasilia went into liquidation in 2012 so you will have to get creative. You might be able to find some of the parts through online stores, but I usually went to specialists for whatever part I needed. For things like solenoid valves I just went to a place that specialised in solenoid valves, and for issues with pipes etc I either used regular pressure sleeve that plumbers usually use, or I went to someone who could make up custom pipes for me with that special end brazed on for me. Is there a part that you’re having trouble with in particular?

Tyler hey Tyler, was good to chat with you. I hope your machine gets finished and you can pour some sweet, sweet shots :-D

Ashley Delplanche I’ll do my best, what’s your question?

@@timmilatte i have this same machine. Do I need an external water pump for the water supply or is the internal pump enough?

Ashley Delplanche I had this machine connected to a 30metre (100foot?) hose and the internal pump was still powerful enough that I had no problems. I would recommend adding a water filter in somewhere along the line to stop calcium etc building up inside the machine :-)

taha ortak I agree the music isn't the best - unfortunately I had to change it. I will try to find some better background music when I have the chance.

Hi, I am happy if you would like to link my video, but please don't upload a new video with my content. All the best with your channel :-)

I don't know the name of the old song sorry, but if you search turkish instrumental music, the first video should be uploaded by original76 and is about 20mins long - the part I used is about 10mins in

It's just standard coffee beans grounds up really really fine (even finer than espresso grind). You could try it with milk, but this style of coffee doesn't really suit it in my opinion. No harm in giving it a try with milk though!

roughly 20grams of coffee and 300mls of water. you can add sugar to taste. :-)

go to Istanbul

Is there any other rightsfree music that is not indian, if possible just choose a standard one, this. One sounds so much Indian 🤣

+Eugene Cho (SauLaBi) It is soo good haha :-)

+Jimmy Baloney That's a good question - there's two reasons: firstly, sand surrounds the base and sides of the cup, which means the heat is more evenly distributed to the coffee, and secondly, the sand means that the coffee is indirectly heated, which is important because heat is one of the four main things that affect coffee (the other three being light, moisture and oxygen) the most and by applying indirect heat the coffee ends up having a much nicer taste. Hope this helps :-)

Some people even think that the switch from beer to coffee and tea is what lead to the Enlightenment Era.

That's an interesting idea - I couldn't tell you either way. I have heard rumour that the reason the English drink so much tea is because King Charles II banned coffee - that could be just hearsay though so don't quote me on that ;-)

Köyde de küllük ateşinde yaparlardı çok da güzel olurdu dedem çok severdi

+Kiumars Irani I don't know where you get your information, but turkish coffee is not a health hazard... unless you try inhaling it... or using it as clear-eyes...

TimmiLatte Here are 10 reasons why coffee is bad for you: 1- The caffeine in coffee increases catecholamines, your stress hormones. The stress response elicits cortisol and increases insulin. Insulin increases inflammation and this makes you feel lousy. 2- Habituation to caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity, making it difficult for your cells to respond appropriately to blood sugar. High blood sugar levels lead to arterial deterioration and increased risk of mortality related to cardiovascular disease. 3- Unfiltered coffee has the highest amount of beneficial antioxidants yet also leaks the most diterpenes into your system. These diterpenes have been linked to higher levels of triglycerides, LDL and VLDL levels. 4- The helpful chlorogenic acids which may delay glucose absorption in the intestine have also been shown to increase homocysteine levels- an indicator for increased risk of cardiovascular disease which tends to be elevated in diabesity. 5- The acidity of coffee is associated with digestive discomfort, indigestion, heart burn, GERD and dysbiosis (imbalances in your gut flora). 6- Addiction is often an issue with coffee drinkers and makes it really difficult to rely on the body’s natural source of energy. Ask any coffee drinker about how it feels to withdraw from coffee, and you will mistake their story for that of a drug addict’s… 7- Associative addictions trend with coffee - who doesn’t immediately think of warm, frothy sweet cream and sugar when they picture coffee? Surely the business of coffee has inspired a culture addicted to the sugary, fatty tastes of what has become more of a meal then a drink! That morning latte is the epitome of food lacking nutrition density yet packing energy! 8- 5HIA, an organic acid and component of the neurotransmitter serotonin ( the happy chemical) seen in the urine tends to be elevated in coffee drinkers which means they may be at risk for lower levels of serotonin synthesis in the brain. Serotonin is necessary for normal sleep, bowel function, mood, and energy levels. It is a vicious cycle as caffeine can disrupt sleep and promote anxiety and depression. We all know someone who tends to be tired, wired and over caffeinated! 9- Elevated urinary excretion of important minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium have been noted in coffee drinkers. An imbalance in your electrolyte status can lead to serious systemic complications. 10- Constituents in coffee can interfere with normal drug metabolism and detoxification in the liver making it difficult to regulate the normal detoxification process in the liver. Another issue to be aware of with coffee intake is how certain medications such as levothyroxine (thyroid) as well as tricyclic antidepressants are poorly absorbed, making symptoms curiously worse for patients.

Nice - what did you google to get that list? I can google too and found a list of 22 benefits: www.caffeineinformer.com/top-10-caffeine-health-benefits In short, the answer is to drink in moderation, much like almost anything else in this world.

TimmiLatte As you can see in the video a small cup of Turkish coffee has 4-5 spoons of coffee in it; that you take in one go! It is poisonous! Do you even know the meaning of moderation?

+Kiumars Irani 5 or 6 spoons of ground coffee is not a lot of coffee. it looks to be about 30 grams of coffee, which is only equivalent to 2 espresso based coffees. studies have shown that you can safely drink 3 or 4 espresso drinks per day to reap the beneficial effects of coffee while still avoiding the risks that you so readily googled for me. even then, many people drink so much more than that without suffering any major side effects. We could, for the sake of argument, just stop drinking coffee based on your assumptions. but then we would need to also stop drinking alcohol... or even eating salt.. or eating fats or oils or many other "poisonous" foods.

Mytha'a 27 it's also indian

Alex Stratulat Roughly 20grams of coffee to about 300mls of water. You could use a little less water if you want to make it stronger too. Other than that, just experiment - that's half the fun of it! good luck and happy coffeeing

+terebby1 it really is so good :-)

TheToscanaMan In the video it is heated sand - there is a fire underneath which heats a hot plate, which then heats the sand. If you want to get the foam then I would try to source coffee beans that have been roasted in the last 2-3 days (which means no supermarket beans) and make sure you use the coffee beans within 15 minutes of grinding them. This way the coffee will be at its freshest. The fresher the coffee, the better the foam. Also, remember that Turkish coffee must be ground much finer than espresso (make it so it's almost like dust). Hope this helps

@@timmilatte what is the best coffee beans to buy for Turkish coffee?

@@marinaagathangelou4049 I think that the origin and the roast profile is subjective. Some people like a darker roast and others prefer a lighter roast. The best thing is to make sure the coffee is higher quality and freshly roasted. Old coffee has lost a lot of its more nuanced flavours. You’ll need it freshly ground and brewed too. Ground extremely fine. The beauty of coffee (any brew method, not just Turkish coffee) is the experimentation. Try light roast coffee and dark roast coffee. Try Ethiopian and Guatemalan coffee, Colombian and Indonesian. There is a whole world of coffee to be discovered, and the world changes every year with every new season :-)

@@timmilatte Thank you!

Sorinocerul There are a lot of aluminium pots for sale in touristy areas, but they are very rarely used in Turkey - I guess it's more of a cheap alternative that they can sell to tourists and make money off. Most Turkish coffee shops use stainless steel these days. I would love to get my hands on an old brass turkish coffee set though! You are right though, if they use aluminium then it will taint the coffee!

@@timmilatte I have seen them on different sites like TurkishSpecialtyCoffee and even amazon. Also, in Brooklyn New York on Atlantic Avenue and also on Kings Hwy near Coney Island Avenue!

I'm not entirely sure of the song name, but I think it's by yedi karanfil. The album is seven cloves

HowToMakeCoffee Can't find it. Too bad because this is a very tranquil tune.

Jordan Rodriguez Try searching youtube for "Turkish Instrumental Music" play that video (it's about 20-something minutes long) and skip to about 10minutes in. Let me know how you go :-)

HowToMakeCoffee So I think its "gururlanma insanoğlu" but everywhere I search I can't find this particular instrumental version of it.

Wow, that's really interesting - I had no idea. I learned something today :-) - I hope people don't get sad while drinking their coffee!
