I don't know his name but I know where he works and I know that he makes darn good Turkish Coffee. His little coffee shop is right off İstiklal Caddesi the big pedestrian street of Istanbul and it's called: Mandabatmaz
To make a cup of coffee like this you need some skill, coordinating the exact amount of heat by lifting the cezve (the little coffee pot) up and down from the flame to maximize the bubbles without having the coffee spill over. I tried many many times and never come close to his skill level.
If you're ever in Istanbul go pay him a visit, we love local places like this!
