Turkish Coffee

Making Turkish Coffee

Making Turkish coffee is one of the simplest ways to prepare coffee—provided you have the right supplies. First you’ll need to grind your coffee beans down to the appropriate consistency with your own Turkish coffee grinder. (You’ll want to grind your grounds to a consistency even finer than that used in espresso making.) Finally, you’ll need a Turkish coffee pot. This is where your coffee, water and sugar (if you desire), will mix.

Begin by filling your Turkish coffee pot with cold, filtered water. For each cup of coffee, use a heaping tablespoon of ground coffee. If you’re preparing a cup with sugar, be sure to add it in the very beginning, stirring the mixture until combined. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. This should take three to five minutes, during which time a dark foam will build atop your coffee. It is customary to serve Turkish coffee with this foam.
