Sorry for the low quality post but I was looking to drink some turkish coffee (or turkish style coffee) and I bought this arabica coffee in Aldi for like 3.99 or 4.99 however one person told me he thinks it needs to be filtered. But i see no indication for it except that it says filterfein gemahlen but this is too little info for me to deduce whether it need to be used with a filter machine or not.
It tastes good actually like some proper turkish style brands but I am not sure if Im potentially harming ny health by not filtering a coffee which should be filtered

>it needs to be filtered
What is this even supposed to mean?
Edit:
It is specifically ground to be used in drip machines (with a built in filter or a paper filter through which the hot water seeps through)
But do I understand you correctly that
> if Im potentially harming ny health by not filtering a coffee which should be filtered
it must be somehow cleaned or something?
You can filter it by hand as well but yes it’s ground fine enough for paper filters.
For proper turkish coffee I’d go to a turkish market and buy some there, it’s finer.
Turkish coffee needs a specific, very fine grind which is even finer than espresso. Yes, the coffee here would be best used with a filter machine, which usually has a coarser grind size. I would rather check in a turkish/middle eastern supermarket for what you want.
This is just a normal coffee… to use in a coffee-machine with filter.
Normally, for a turkish coffee, you should use coffeebeans from Ethiopia. It needs to be from arabica-beans. The coffee you chose may be ok… i cant see on the pictures if it is arabica or not.
It wont harm your health.
> Im potentially harming ny health
I think the only way to harm your health by wrongly preparing coffee is when you would chew the beans and then drink boiling water afterwards. Otherwise it doesn’t really matter how you prepare your coffee.
