just a type of coffee unique to Turkey. You just grind the coffee to dust and then you heat it up nice and gradually with a ratio of 1 tsp of coffee to the ounce (of water). Israelis drink a lot of Turkish style coffee as well. It's also one of the two main styles of their coffee exported.
6. dodgy stats?

"The average Israeli drinks about four or five cups of coffee a day: Mostly cappuccino, followed in popularity by espresso." Is it just me or does this sound like a bit much? Your average Israeli can't afford to drink quite that many espressos each day and probably wouldn't do so even if they could. 2 or 3 coffees a day for those who do drink it - maybe but average of 4 or 5 a day, taking into consideration all those who don't drink coffee just doesn't sound right (there area few small children in the country, the Haredi sector isn't overly represented in Aroma and I'm sure that the Arab sector is not big on capuccino either)
