Frequently Asked Questions About Brewed Turkish coffee
How do you make brewed Turkish coffee?
Brewed Turkish coffee is made by heating very finely ground coffee with water in a small pot, traditionally a cezve. Heat it gently until foam rises, then pour it into cups and let the grounds settle before drinking.
Why does brewed Turkish coffee have grounds at the bottom?
Brewed Turkish coffee is unfiltered, so its fine grounds settle at the bottom of the cup instead of being removed. Sip slowly and leave the last mouthful behind if you do not want to drink the sediment.
How much caffeine is in brewed Turkish coffee?
Brewed Turkish coffee contains caffeine, but the amount varies with the coffee used and how much goes into each cup. If caffeine affects your sleep or makes you feel jittery, limit it or choose a caffeine-free drink.
Is brewed Turkish coffee the same as Greek coffee?
Brewed Turkish coffee and Greek coffee are made in a similar way, using finely ground coffee that is not filtered out. The names reflect different cultural traditions, and recipes or serving customs can vary between households.
Does brewed Turkish coffee need to boil?
No, brewed Turkish coffee should not be left at a vigorous rolling boil. Heat it until the foam rises, then remove it from the heat; prolonged boiling can make the coffee taste harsher and reduce its characteristic foam.
Why is water served with brewed Turkish coffee?
Water served with brewed Turkish coffee is traditionally sipped first to refresh the palate, making the coffee’s aroma easier to notice. It is a customary accompaniment rather than an ingredient in the coffee.
Can you make brewed Turkish coffee without a cezve?
Yes, you can make brewed Turkish coffee in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. Use low heat and watch closely as the foam rises, since the wider pan may make the coffee heat and foam differently.
Can you reheat brewed Turkish coffee?
Yes, brewed Turkish coffee can be reheated gently, but it will usually lose its foam and may taste more bitter. For the best flavor, prepare only what you plan to drink rather than reheating a full pot.
When should you add sugar to brewed Turkish coffee?
Add sugar to brewed Turkish coffee before heating, mixing it with the water and finely ground coffee in the pot. Turkish coffee is often prepared to order as unsweetened, lightly sweetened, or sweet, so ask before serving.
Can brewed Turkish coffee be used for coffee-cup reading?
Yes, brewed Turkish coffee is traditionally used for coffee-cup reading because its unfiltered grounds leave patterns in the cup. After drinking, the cup is often turned onto its saucer and allowed to cool before the patterns are interpreted.

What is Brewed Turkish coffee?
Brewed Turkish coffee is made by gently heating finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small cezve. The grounds are left in the cup to settle rather than filtered out, and the coffee is served with its foam in a small cup. Sugar may be added while it is prepared or left out. In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed after a meal or when welcoming guests, often with a glass of water alongside. Sip it slowly and leave the settled grounds at the bottom. Served plain, it is very low in calories—about 2 kcal per 100 g—and contains caffeine. For a lighter cup, ask for it without sugar; a small sweet on the side is optional.
