Bosnian coffee is a traditional Balkan coffee brewed in a small pot called a džezva and served with its grounds. The grounds settle in the cup, so it is sipped slowly rather than filtered like drip coffee.
To make Bosnian coffee, bring water to a boil in a džezva, take it off the heat, and stir in finely ground coffee. Return it briefly to the heat until foam rises, then pour carefully and let the grounds settle.
No, they are similar but not identical. Bosnian coffee is traditionally made by boiling the water first and adding the coffee afterward, while Turkish coffee is commonly heated with the coffee already mixed into the water.
Water is traditionally served with Bosnian coffee so you can drink it before the coffee and refresh your palate. It is part of the customary presentation, not an ingredient mixed into the brew.
Bosnian coffee is traditionally brewed in a džezva, a small long-handled pot with a narrow neck. A small saucepan can work at home, but the džezva’s shape makes it easier to heat the coffee and build foam.
Usually, no: Bosnian coffee is brewed without sugar, and sugar is offered separately. You can sweeten your cup to taste, but adding sugar during brewing changes the traditional preparation.
Yes, Bosnian coffee contains caffeine because it is made from roasted coffee beans. The amount varies with the coffee used and how much goes into the pot, so a small cup is not necessarily caffeine-free.
No, you generally leave the grounds at the bottom of the cup rather than drinking them. Give the coffee a moment to settle after pouring, then sip gently and stop before reaching the thick sediment.
Yes, some people turn the cup over after drinking Bosnian coffee and interpret the patterns left by the grounds. This is a social fortune-telling custom, not a reliable way to predict events.
Freshly brewed Bosnian coffee tastes best, so it is better to make only what you plan to drink. If you have leftovers, cool and refrigerate them in a covered container, then reheat gently; the settled grounds can make the flavor stronger.

Bosnian coffee is a traditional coffee from Bosnia and Herzegovina, made with finely ground coffee and water in a small pot called a džezva. The mixture is heated until it rises, then poured into small cups; the grounds settle at the bottom as you drink.
Its strong aroma and unfiltered, full-bodied character make it familiar to anyone who enjoys Turkish-style coffee. In Bosnia it is often served slowly, with water and a sweet such as lokum, and shared during a visit or conversation. It also suits an after-meal pause elsewhere. Served without sugar, it is very low in calories—about 2 per 100 g—so try it plain if you want to keep it light.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
