I am sharing this because it really made me uncomfortable to see this as a native vs non-native English thing. It's wholly erasive to the multi-lingual and multi-ethnic experience.

I did not even consider asking only native speakers (I’m not native speaker myself either). I was just interested in pragmatics (thanks for extra info!). I think JP restricted to native speakers?

For the Ottoman coffee if you're curious... Everybody has their own way of doing it but some say the foam has to rise twice. One person's recipe is here, although I bet YouTube is better for this: http://www.afroditeskitchen.com/2013/12/cyprus-coffee/ … My parents own a huge briky that makes enough for 4.
