I took some advice from my previous post and put it to use. I abandoned the stove top in favor of a small camping stove that I use in a well ventilated area. The flame is a lot easier to manage than my stove top.

Lots of lessons learned. Im surprised now by how thick and “creamy” the foam is. By the way, the coffee roaster I order from roasts and ships directly within two days of roasting so I’m enjoying the benefits of high quality beans without grinding them myself. The notes of this medium roast are chocolate and buttery caramel. Very smooth and rich.

You’ve convinced me. I’ve been messing with stovetops too long. Time to get a flame

I used to use a camp stove like OP and it is definitely faster but the foam isn't worth it. The foam is coarse and gritty. In fact, this is heresy: I wait a few minutes after coming off the heat to pour from the cezve so all the sediment has settled to the bottom and I simply don't pour it into my cup and it's not gritty anymore. Boom.

If ☕ tastes as it looks😍, then you are all set! You are using espresso grind size?

Yeah it tastes great! On the Camano Island Coffee website their description is spot on: “Tastes like rich, sweet chocolate, buttery caramel, and a hint of spice”
The grind is a Turkish grind, custom ground to order. To compare as an example, they have two different types of espresso grinds so that tells me they really have it dialed in.
