No, plain menengiç coffee without milk is naturally caffeine-free because it is made from roasted terebinth fruit, not coffee beans. It can be a coffee-style drink for people avoiding caffeine, though it is still worth checking the product ingredients if you have an allergy.
Plain menengiç coffee without milk is made from the roasted and ground fruit of the terebinth tree, also called wild pistachio. Despite the word “coffee,” it contains no coffee beans; the ground fruit is brewed with water.

Plain menengiç coffee without milk is made from the roasted and ground fruit of the terebinth tree, also known as wild pistachio—not from coffee beans. It is a traditional drink of southeastern Turkey, where it is brewed with water and served without milk.
Its aroma is toasted and nutty, with a mellow, slightly resinous flavour; the texture is less creamy than a milk-based version. In its home region it is enjoyed from small cups, often during a visit or alongside sweets. Naturally caffeine-free, it is a light drink: a 100 g serving has 18 calories. Try it without added sugar to let its nutty flavour come through, or pair it with a small piece of pastry.
