I've recently discovered the unbridled and slightly gritty joy of Turkish coffee with cardamom, so I need to get on this poo poo. Does anyone have a recommended source for good beans for this in the UK? Recommended cezves? And more broadly, a student-budget burr grinder available in the UK?

"not too expensive" isn't very descriptive. What's your budget?

You probably want a hand grinder, which will help keep costs down. You might be able to get away with a Porlex or a Hario Mini Mill. This one is well reviewed: https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/turkish-coffee-grinder

Seems like about what I'm looking for, should have specified in the UK though.

I took a chance last week and ordered some Monsooned Malabar, something a little unusual and I'd never had it. I love the flavour but its crema seems incredibly week. I make coffee in a cezve and I like a bit of crema, but getting it to stand with the malabar seems impossible. I'm guessing this is just a quirk of its usually high PH, but if not, does anyone have any suggestions?

I use that in my espresso blends - up to about 1/10; I feel like it enhances the crema there. How does it taste as a single origin brew?

It's pretty alright, but not my favourite. I wanted a change from the yirgacheffe I've been drinking for a while now, so I took a flier on it.

Switch to Turkish style brewing and make your bean use even more efficient!

Drink the sludge, let not a speck of caffeine go to waste.
