A local would say...

So thick a buffalo wouldn't sink — that's what the name means

Istanbul's most famous Turkish coffee — the name means 'so thick a buffalo wouldn't sink.' A tiny café off İstiklal Caddesi where the coffee is impossibly thick, strong, and served with a glass of water and a knowing look.
