Yuck, when I drink coffee I prefer that it at least have some coffee flavor to it, in fact, the stronger the better. Espresso > *

I drink 6 cups of Turkish coffee a day (stronger than Espresso) 🙂 Banana Coconut Frappucino is a beverage, not a coffee replacement 😉

For the record, Turkish coffee is not "stronger" than espresso unless you have a unique definition of strength.

Banana + Coconut makes a great drink.

For the record, yes it is. Depends on where you get it. If you get it in a bag or a can in the supermarket, sure, it will be modified to fit the average consumer's preference. Not the stuff my grandparents send me 🙂 Oh by the way, it was the Turks that introduced coffee to the Europeans :thumbsup:

How exactly are you defining strength? What do your grandparents send you that are different than what you get elsewhere? It's coffee. Are you referring to how dark it's roasted, the grind, or something else?

The SCAA defines it as the ratio of water to coffee solubles in the resultant liquor, and without question espresso is the most concentrated. It's brewed under ~9 atmospheres of pressure and extracts at least 80-90% of solubles in ~25 seconds for ~2oz of liquor.

You are likely defining strength in some more generic term, but in the world of coffee Turkish represents a thick and flavorful cup, but not the most concentrated.

I don't think he's coming back...

I tried one the day it debuted at the Starbucks near my office, but I didn't like it at all. I thought I would, considering I like all the ingredients, but blended together it just tasted like a mess to me.
