Cyprus Coffee is a finely ground coffee brewed with water in a small pot and served in a small cup, with the grounds settling at the bottom. It is commonly served plain or lightly sweetened, and is closely associated with Cyprus coffee culture.
Make Cyprus Coffee by heating finely ground coffee and water together in a cezve or another small pot over low heat. Remove it as it rises before it boils over, then pour gently into small cups and let the grounds settle.
Cyprus Coffee and Greek coffee are very similar: both are finely ground, brewed in a small pot, and served with grounds in the cup. Names and household customs vary across the region, so there is no single preparation difference that separates every cup.
Yes, Cyprus Coffee contains caffeine because it is brewed from coffee beans. Its effect varies with the coffee used and your sensitivity; if caffeine tends to make you restless, avoid drinking it close to bedtime.
A glass of water is commonly served alongside Cyprus Coffee to refresh the palate. Many people drink the water before the coffee, but it is a matter of serving custom rather than a required step in making the drink.
No, the grounds in Cyprus Coffee are meant to settle at the bottom of the cup rather than be drunk. Sip slowly and leave the final mouthful behind to avoid swallowing the sediment.
To get foam on Cyprus Coffee, heat the coffee slowly in a small pot and take it off the heat as it rises. A hard boil or vigorous stirring can break up the foam before you pour.
Add sugar to Cyprus Coffee before heating if you want it sweetened, so it dissolves as the coffee brews. Cyprus Coffee is also often served plain; stirring sugar in after brewing can disturb the settled grounds.
Yes, you can make Cyprus Coffee in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. The narrow shape of a cezve makes it easier to build foam and pour into small cups, but gentle, low-heat brewing matters most.
Store the finely ground coffee used for Cyprus Coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and strong odors. Ground coffee loses its aroma faster than whole beans, so buy an amount you can use while it stays fragrant.

Cyprus coffee is made by slowly heating finely ground coffee with water in a small pot, traditionally a briki on the island. The grounds are left in the cup rather than filtered out, and the coffee may be served plain or sweetened during brewing.
It is usually poured into small cups and enjoyed after a meal or while visiting with friends; a glass of water or a sweet bite often accompanies it. In Cyprus and elsewhere, it suits an unhurried coffee break. Served plain, it has very little energy or macronutrient content, with caffeine as its main active component. Ask for it unsweetened if you want to keep it lighter.
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.
