If you have never tried it, Turkish coffee can be an amazing experience. It has a rich history as one of the most traditional methods of brewing coffee in Turkey. It has a unique appearance and taste that is rich, strong, and foamy.
Turkish coffee requires extra-fine grounds that are difficult to reproduce. You can request this from most roasters and at your local supermarket or coffee shop. The coffee grounds have to be in a very fine, powdery form. You will need a Turkish coffee pot called a cezve. Add water into your pot and heat it with medium heat.
Once the water is heating up, add one or two teaspoons of your ground coffee for every three ounces of water. Do not stir this in. Add in sugar to your liking. Wait for the coffee to begin sinking and the sugar to dissolve then turn the heat down to low.
Stir the coffee until you get the foam to form. After this forms a ring, lower the heat or remove it entirely. You don’t want your coffee to boil. You want it to foam as much as possible to make it taste better. Keep placing it on and off the heat a few more times.
Turkish coffee is unique in its thickness and strength. No filters are used to brew this coffee. It is also brewed with sugar instead of adding it later. It is traditionally served with a glass of water to cleanse your palate after each sip since the coffee is so strong.
The taste isn’t the only thing that makes Turkish coffee so special. It is a brewing method for coffee that arrived in Istanbul in the mid-1500s and became a tradition for many ceremonies. The spectacle of watching it being made is also very special, especially when it’s heated on the sand.
You need the proper tools if you are going to make good Turkish coffee. When making Turkish coffee, it’s as much about tradition as it is making coffee. Try using a Kuprum Hand-Hammered Turkish Coffee Pot for a more traditional feeling.
A good grinder is also important to this kind of coffee. I recommend the MisterCopper Coffee Grinder to get that powdery texture you need.
If you decide to make your own Turkish coffee, make sure you have all the necessary equipment and ingredients. A traditional cezve and a grinder are very important in brewing this coffee correctly.
If you do it right Turkish coffee will be an exotic treat you will love to share with your family and friends
