More recently, a new appliance has joined the ranks of household appliances - an electric Turk, designed for convenient and quick brewing of delicious and invigorating coffee. The electric turret is a compact and functional device. It, in comparison with coffee makers, coffee machines and traditional Turks, has undeniable advantages.
Device description
The principle of the device is quite simple. The concept of the Turks and the electric kettle is identical. A turk with the usual forms and a heating element is installed on the stand with contacts . Its top, as befits traditional Turks, is narrowed, and the bottom, on the contrary, is expanded.
The cooking flask is placed in a plastic case equipped with a waterproof gasket. This prevents the occurrence of an electrical short circuit, which is possible when the housing and handle get wet. Each electric coffee maker is equipped with a heating element, powerful for its volume, due to which water boils in a matter of minutes.
The advantages of the device
Aromatic coffee in electric turrets, which have great power, is brewed for just a couple of minutes. They are easy to clean (there is no need to use household chemicals). The compact device is convenient to operate in offices, in the country, during a trip. Typically, an electric coffee Turk allows you to brew 3-4 cups of an invigorating drink.
The recipes for making coffee in an electric turret are no different from those that are intended for classic devices. The device, unlike coffee machines that require expensive tablets or filters, is very economical. Its service life is long. Steel heating discs serve for a long time without much maintenance.
The taste of the beverage prepared in such a device does not suffer. They remain the same as if the coffee was prepared in a familiar classic Turk.
Cons of electric turks
Many models do not have auto-shutdown, so control over the process of heating the drink is required. If the electric coffee maker-Turk is equipped with an automatic shut-off system, making coffee is easier. After turning on the device, it is not necessary to stand next to it. The drink will be perfectly prepared without the participation of its owner.
Electric Turk: choose the right one
Turk is an ideal device for brewing coffee. Only in it is the drink able to preserve the taste, aroma and nutrients as much as possible. Therefore, it is so important to know which electric coffee Turk does not distort the aroma and taste of the drink. Those people who already use similar devices are advised to pay attention to the following points:
- When choosing an electric turkey, they focus on its shape. The shape of the device should be conical. A good model has a neck with a much smaller bottom. The greater the difference in these parameters, the better. In such devices, coffee beans, rising up, knock on the walls of the narrowed neck and fall to the bottom. This ensures that the precipitate in the drink is formed in a minimal amount.
- The wall thickness of this device is important. It should be as large as possible. With the thick walls of the turk, the electric evenly warms up the liquid, which means coffee particles too. The aroma of an invigorating drink in it is saturated.
- The capacity in the devices is different. In 250-300 ml Turk, it turns out to brew 2 servings of coffee. If this is enough, get a miniature device. If this volume of the cooking flask is clearly not enough, buy a larger electric stove.
- If the material of manufacture of the device has good thermal conductivity, the drink warms up evenly. A good electric Turk is made of aluminum or steel.
- The heating element of the device deserves special attention. The element that is made of stainless steel is ideal. Its power is also important. One or another Turk electric has a power of 500-1000 watts.
- Water boils very quickly in models with power from 750 watts. In such a device, one serving of the drink is prepared in 40 seconds. For three servings, leave in just a couple of minutes. The faster the water boils, the more aromatic and tastier the coffee is.
- It is advisable to purchase a model with a long handle made of materials of low thermal conductivity. Traditionally, these are elements made of wood or plastic. In addition, release devices with fixed and removable handles.
- And finally, they are interested in having an automatic shutdown system. After all, an electric Turk with automatic shutdown prevents the "floating out" of the drink from the tank. The electric stove will automatically turn off when coffee reaches the limit temperature.
Features of preparing a drink in an electric turret
The divine taste of coffee is obtained only from freshly ground beans. The recipe is the same as for the classic Turks. Typically, a maximum of 2 teaspoons of coffee powder is taken per serving. Water is poured into the flask of the device by all means fresh. The device is kept in perfect cleanliness, otherwise the coffee coating left on the walls of the flask spoils the drink, giving it a rancid taste.
Reviews about electric turkish
If we compare the classic appliance and its innovative variation, then the electric Turk (reviews in any case say so) takes almost three times less time to brew coffee. Water in an electric turret boils in two minutes. And in a traditional cezve, as coffee lovers note, this process lasts five to six minutes.
Electric models require the same care conditions as electric kettles. Owners of devices try to prevent the formation of plaque on the walls of the cooking flask. Because of it, the coffee has a bitter taste. When washing, the use of abrasive care products is taboo.
Pouring water, coffee lovers carefully monitor that its level does not exceed the maximum mark. Otherwise, when the foam begins to rise, the liquid will “run away” from the flask even in automatic models.
In general, according to consumers, an electric turk is an excellent low-cost, convenient and easy-to-use household appliance, which significantly saves time and allows you to make excellent coffee.
