COMMENT FROM A POLISH READER:
"What Polish people call Turkish coffee cannot be found in Turkey, I'm afraid. Polish Turkish coffee means that you simply place coffee grounds in a cup (or very often a glass) and fill the cup with boiling water. After a few minutes the coffee is ready. We add sugar or milk (cream) or drink the coffee black."
