Or ice coffee in the US. My mom tried that, craving her German cup
of "Eiskaffee". The completely puzzled waitress gave her regular
coffee with ice cubes in there ....

Well, isn't that pretty much how you make iced coffee anyway? ;-)


Oh no:

I don't suppose that you would translate that for us? =-)


Ok, here goes:

Take 1/2 liter of water and 4 coffee measures (don't remember how much
that is, AFAIK more than tea spoons) of grounds and brew a strong
coffee. Sweeten with sugar while still hot. Cool rapidly so the coffee
doesn't increase in bitterness. This can be achieved by using a metal
bowl or pot that is set in cold water. Cool thoroughly in fridge. If in
a hurry you can also make excess coffee in the morning and let that
cool. Place two scoops of vanilla ice cream into a cocktail glass. Pour
well chilled coffee over that. Beat cream until it solidifies and add a
dab on top of each glass. Sprinkle chocolate powder over the top. Serve
with straw and long spoon.


As for coffee measures (Kafeeloeffel) I found only 58 hits and none had
weight or volume data. Basically you just have to make a strong coffee,
more towards Italian style. Just not the stuff where the spoon doesn't
fall over and you can't sleep the next two nights ;-)


In that case I advise you not to visit me for coffee.....

Good coffee must be _eaten_ with a spoon ;-)

Hear, hear!!!!!!
I just like the turkish brand
You not only need a spoon, but a knive as well.


When I was a student at MIT I made a weekly trip to "Southy", to a
restaurant called "The Nile", for the coffee (and the stuffed grape
leaves :-)


Once I hired a guy whose wife is from Turkey. We picked them all up at
the airport, got them into a temporary apartment, the kids ran down to
the river and came back right away. "Mom, come down there, they've got
the perfect leaves to make dolma!" Sure enough two days later he brought
freshly made dolma into the office.
