The wife and I took a trip to Turkey a couple years ago and I fell in love with their coffee. I want to learn how to make it, let me know how it goes.
Oh, I've made it a few times. It's not hard, just takes some patience and attention.

How to make Turkish Coffee?
Use one full coffee spoon of Turkish coffee per person
Use one coffee cup full of water per person
Use sugar as per your taste (half a dessert-spoon per cup recommended)
You start by adding and mixing the coffee, sugar and cold water into a coffee pot. Keep the stove at low until you see foam appear on top of the pot. Pour the foamy part of the coffee into the cup (special Turkish coffe cups recommended - called "fincan"). Then return the pot to the stove and bring the remaining coffee to a boil. Pour the boiling coffee over the cup all the way to the top. Your Turkish coffee is now ready to serve.
You should be able to find the coffee somewhere near you. They have it at the little produce stand near my house. I've been making it in a regular saucepan and it's come out just fine. But I think that to make it right, I really need one of those coffee pots.
I bought my father one for Hannukkah and I'll pick one up for myself soon.
