Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee
What is Hint coffee?
Hint coffee, or Indian coffee, commonly refers to South Indian filter coffee: a strong coffee decoction mixed with hot milk. It is traditionally brewed in a metal filter, though recipes and serving styles vary.
How do you make Hint coffee with a traditional filter?
Put finely ground coffee in the upper chamber of a South Indian metal filter, pour in hot water, and let the decoction collect below. Mix it with hot milk and add sugar if you like.
Does Hint coffee always contain chicory?
No. Chicory is often blended with coffee for South Indian filter coffee, but it is optional. It adds a distinctive roasted, slightly earthy flavour, so the taste varies between blends.
Why is Hint coffee poured between a tumbler and dabarah?
In South India, Hint coffee is often served in a metal tumbler with a shallow dabarah. Pouring the coffee between them cools it and mixes the milk and decoction; it also helps create a light layer of froth.
Can you make Hint coffee without a South Indian filter?
Yes. Brew finely ground coffee in a French press or another filter method, then combine the strained coffee with hot milk. The result can be less concentrated than coffee made in a traditional metal filter.
Can you make Hint coffee with instant coffee?
Yes, instant coffee works when you do not have brewed coffee decoction. Dissolve it in a small amount of hot water, then add hot milk; the flavour will differ from traditionally filtered Hint coffee.
Is Hint coffee stronger than tea?
Often, yes: a serving of Hint coffee can contain more caffeine than a cup of tea. The actual amount varies with the coffee blend, how concentrated the decoction is, and how much you use.
Does Hint coffee keep you awake at night?
It can. Caffeine in Hint coffee may delay sleep or make sleep less restful, especially when you drink it close to bedtime. If caffeine affects your sleep, have it earlier in the day.
How long does Hint coffee decoction keep?
Store Hint coffee decoction in a covered container in the refrigerator and use it as soon as possible, preferably within a day. Refrigerate coffee mixed with milk promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature.
Why is sugar added to Hint coffee?
Sugar is added to Hint coffee to balance the strong, roasted taste of the coffee and chicory blend. It is optional: you can leave it out or sweeten the drink to your taste.

What is Turkish coffee?
Hint kahvesi (Indian-style coffee) is a coffee drink associated with India, made by brewing ground coffee; recipes and brewing methods vary. The English name on file, “Turkish coffee,” refers to a different style, so this page uses the Turkish name. In Turkey, you can enjoy it in a small cup, either black or with milk, rather than assuming it is prepared like the familiar cezve-brewed coffee.
In India, coffee is also served with milk and sometimes sweetened. For readers elsewhere, it works as a breakfast or afternoon drink, plain or alongside a small snack. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories: 2 calories per 100 g. Leave out sugar or syrup for a lighter cup, and add milk to taste.
