Talk:Turkish coffee

The person in charge of this page seems racist

As a respected scholar, and scientist, I try to change the data on here. It says for example that "Country of Origin - Constantinople" ... Constantinople is not a country! It was the capital city of the Roman/Byzantine Empire (330–1204 and 1261–1453), and also of the brief Latin (1204–1261), and the later Ottoman (1453–1923). In addition there is no evidence stating that the Turks created or invented the coffee. The Armenians lived in the region long before the Turks and have been using and preparing it the same way long before. In addition , the first picture of coffee being prepared is in Armenian china not Turkish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.157.220.254 (talkcontribs) 19:36, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed your comment that for some reason no one replied to. In the hopes that you one day read my reply, let me tell you that not one specific person is in charge of Wikipedia article's pages. In general, anyone can edit them, even unregistered people. In fact, you can make the changes you deem fit in this article.
But said changes need to comply with the policies of Wikipedia. For example, they need to be backed up by reliable sources. In addition, most of the time they need to also comply with guidelines and be accepted by consensus.
If you can't edit a page that is protected, you would need to make an edit request. Cheers! Thinker78 (talk) 19:42, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First cafe in Vienna

The first cafe serving Turkish Coffee was opened in Vienna by the Polish nobleman and dyplomat Jerzy Franciszek Kulczycki. He was considered a hero by Austrians for his actions during the Siege of Vienna. In his cafe he used coffee beans left behind by retreating Turkish army. It was the Polish King Jan III Sobieski who defeated Turks and liberated Vienna. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.192.132.151 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Arab heritage in the history section

This style of coffee brewing is best known as "Turkish coffee" (i.e., from the Ottoman Empire), but shouldn't the history section mention it's Arab origin? After all, it's the Arabs in the Ottoman Empire that brought coffee drinking to Istanbul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.23.87.18 (talkcontribs) 04:37, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Am I understanding Turkish coffee right?

Based on the article, I am getting the impression that Turkish coffee is typically sweetened unfiltered pour-over espresso (espresso is finely-ground coffee beans, maybe of a certain roast). Is that correct? 2601:645:100:8380:0:0:0:BC87 (talk) 05:36, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish coffee is boiled - that is, the coffee powder is actually kept in boiling water for a significant time. IAmNitpicking (talk) 16:58, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

@Ttocserp: made a revert of my edit, stating, "Not significant enough for lede section ,and cited source is only a blog, marginally acceptable in Wikipedia if at all; move further down. Breadth of assertion ("throughout the world") not supported by cited source; amend accordingly."

I have to reply,

  1. I believe it is significant enough to be included in the lead because it is about the name of the subject and its controversy.
  2. The cited source, NPR,[1] as far as I know is not a blog, but a major media organization funded in part by the federal government of the USA.
  3. My edit did not state "throughout the world", but rather "around the world", which is different. Around means according to Merriam Webster dictionary, "on various sides", "here and there : from one place to another",[2] definition that is supported by the source, which mentions several countries that have the controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinker78 (talkcontribs) 00:45, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
