What is Turkish Coffee?
Turkish coffee is a unique method of brewing very finely ground coffee beans with water and sugar (optional) in a special pot called a cezve or ibrik. The result is a rich, thick, and flavorful coffee often served in small cups, sometimes accompanied by a sweet treat like Turkish delight.
Unlike regular brewed coffee, Turkish coffee is unfiltered, meaning the coffee grounds settle at the bottom of the cup, adding depth to each sip and making the experience truly traditional.
A Brief History of Turkish Coffee
The story of Turkish coffee dates back to the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire. Coffeehouses became important centers for social life, conversation, and entertainment. Over time, Turkish coffee was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its deep-rooted importance in Turkish culture and beyond.
Even today, sharing a cup of Turkish coffee symbolizes hospitality, friendship, and respect.
How Turkish Coffee is Prepared
Making authentic Turkish coffee is an art:
-
Finely Ground Coffee: The grind must be extremely fine, almost powder-like.
-
Measure: Add one heaping teaspoon of coffee per cup of water into the cezve.
-
Optional Sugar: Add sugar at this stage if desired (Turkish coffee is never stirred after brewing).
-
Slow Heat: Brew slowly over low heat until it begins to froth. It’s important not to let it boil fully.
-
Serve: Pour into small cups, foam first, then fill with the remaining coffee. Let the grounds settle before drinking.
The slow brewing process allows the flavors to fully develop, giving Turkish coffee its rich body and signature foam.
