What is Double Turkish Coffee?
Double Turkish Coffee is made by simmering finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small cezve. The grounds are poured into the cup rather than filtered out. “Double” refers to a larger, more substantial serving than the usual small cup, so the coffee comes across as bold and aromatic, with a foamy top and grounds settling at the bottom.
In Turkey, Turkish coffee is commonly served after a meal or during a visit, often with a glass of water alongside. This version is unsweetened, letting its roasted, intense flavour take centre stage. It is mostly water and contributes little energy, while still providing caffeine. If you prefer a gentler coffee, opt for a smaller serving; water makes a refreshing accompaniment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Turkish Coffee
How is Double Turkish Coffee made?
Double Turkish Coffee is made by slowly heating finely ground coffee with water in a cezve, the small pot traditionally used for Turkish coffee. A double serving is poured into a larger cup or prepared with more coffee; it is not filtered.
What does “double” mean in Double Turkish Coffee?
“Double” usually means a larger or stronger serving of Turkish coffee, but cafés may use the term differently. Ask whether the serving is simply larger or also made with more coffee if you are monitoring your caffeine intake.
Does Double Turkish Coffee have more caffeine than regular Turkish coffee?
Usually, yes: Double Turkish Coffee made with more grounds will contain more caffeine than a single serving. The exact amount varies with the recipe and cup size, so “double” does not guarantee a specific caffeine quantity.
Why is there coffee sediment at the bottom of Double Turkish Coffee?
The sediment is normal: Double Turkish Coffee is brewed with very finely ground coffee and is not filtered. Let the grounds settle, sip without stirring, and leave the final mouthful in the cup if you do not want to drink them.
Can you add milk to Double Turkish Coffee?
Yes, you can add milk, but traditional Double Turkish Coffee is served without it. Milk changes its concentrated, unfiltered character; if you want to try it, add a small amount after brewing rather than cooking milk in the cezve.
Should Double Turkish Coffee be served with water?
Water is commonly served alongside Double Turkish Coffee, especially in traditional Turkish hospitality. A sip of water before the coffee refreshes the palate, while the coffee is usually enjoyed slowly in small sips.
Does Double Turkish Coffee keep you awake?
It can: Double Turkish Coffee contains caffeine, which may delay sleep or make sleep feel lighter, particularly for people who are sensitive to it. If you notice this effect, have it earlier in the day rather than near bedtime.
Can you make Double Turkish Coffee without sugar?
Yes. Double Turkish Coffee can be brewed without sugar, and the coffee itself is traditionally prepared to the drinker’s preferred sweetness. For a sugar-free cup, leave sugar out of the cezve rather than adding it during brewing.
Is Double Turkish Coffee the same as Greek coffee?
They are very similar: both are finely ground, unfiltered coffees brewed in a small pot and served with the grounds settling in the cup. Their names, local customs, and recipes can differ, so the drinks are not always identical.
Can you drink Double Turkish Coffee during pregnancy?
Possibly, but the relevant amount is your total caffeine intake from all sources, not just Double Turkish Coffee. Because a double serving may contain more caffeine than a single one, ask your healthcare professional how it fits your pregnancy guidance.
