Having Problems with Turkish coffee?

I just attempted Turkish coffee for the first time. There were no similarities to what "should" have happened. I used 9oz water, 6tsp coffee (espresso beans ground on "turkish" setting at grocery store) and 4sp sugar. I used a 2qt saucepan since I have no turkish coffee pot. There was never any foaming or any of that. I brought it to a low simmer 4 times before taking it off heat. Please help with any helpful advise.

What kind of pot ' cezve' / sauce pan :))) do you use ?
If it is a steel one, it's very hard to make foam .
Buy an enameled one.
If you buy one of the copper ones, that'll be even better, but it will need tin-coating in the future.
You won't be able to use it.

I use one with enamel glazing ( a real Turkish coffee pot :)) , and I always stir it slowly at low heat, there is always foam.

Don't forget not to boil your coffee.
I use 3 steps.
I stir the coffee slowly before it starts to rise up.
After it starts to rise, I don't stir.
One, before it boils, before the froth flows over the top, but after it starts to rise, I take it off the heat, and put some into the cups.
Two, let the froth build up again (remember, it will build fast once it starts), and remove from the heat again, and take some to the cups.
Three, on the third boil, just as the coffee is rising ,you can stop the brewing at this point and serve the rest to the cups- your cup (do not stir).

1 cup water
1 tablespoon of extra finely ground coffee (powder consistency)
sugar (optional)
Bring water and sugar to a boil in ibrik. If you do not have an ibrik, a small saucepan will work.
Remove from heat and add coffee.
Return saucepan to heat and allow to come to a boil. Remove from heat when coffee foams.
Again, return to heat, allowing to foam and remove from heat.
Pour into cup, and allow to sit for a few minutes for the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup..

verify with Tom, i think of he has provided a stainless-metallic unit that works as an Ibrik... SOrry, for something of you individuals, that is at candy Maria's.. Edit: I have been given no longer purely a copper Ibrik from SM's i additionally finally have been given a ZASS Turkish Grinder from them. in basic terms in time to get 'instructions' from my brothers forex pupil, from Serbia, on its suitable use. i for my section do no longer comprehend plenty with regard to the copper/brass issue. until eventually your using the Ibrik in basic terms approximately every day, i do no longer think of re-tinning would be a controversy.
