Caffe Kilim Reviews

A very nice Turkish coffee, prepared very traditionally with earthy/nutty notes. Good depth of the chocolatey notes and has the proper thick mouthfeel. The proper mouthfeel for Turkish coffee is thick, dense, and velvety, with a noticeable body that coats the palate. Because the coffee is unfiltered and brewed with very finely ground coffee simmered directly in water, it retains suspended particles contributing to its rich texture. A well-made Turkish coffee should feel smooth rather than gritty, with the grounds settling gently at the bottom of the cup. I think you get that here. Definitely not always the case. I think a higher quality blend than some of the robusta driven Turkish coffees you see that may or may not get covered up with spices. It's a very nice cafe with great vibe.
