Frequently Asked Questions About Raw Turkish coffee grounds
How do you make coffee with raw Turkish coffee grounds?
To make Turkish coffee, combine raw Turkish coffee grounds with cold water in a cezve and stir before heating. Warm it slowly over low heat, then take it off the heat as the foam rises rather than letting it boil vigorously.
What does “raw” mean in raw Turkish coffee grounds?
“Raw” usually means the raw Turkish coffee grounds have not yet been brewed into a drink. Turkish coffee grounds are typically finely ground roasted coffee; the word alone does not establish that the beans are unroasted.
Can you put raw Turkish coffee grounds in an espresso machine?
No, raw Turkish coffee grounds are generally too fine for an espresso machine and are intended for cezve-style brewing. Their fine particles can pass through or obstruct equipment designed for a different grind, so use grounds specified for your machine.
Why is there sediment at the bottom of a cup of raw Turkish coffee grounds?
Sediment settles because raw Turkish coffee grounds do not dissolve in water. Turkish coffee is served unfiltered, so let the fine grounds sink before drinking and leave the final mouthful in the cup.
Do you filter raw Turkish coffee grounds after brewing?
No, raw Turkish coffee grounds are traditionally brewed and served without filtering. The grounds settle in the cup after pouring, which is why Turkish coffee is sipped slowly and the last mouthful is usually left behind.
How do you get foam when brewing raw Turkish coffee grounds?
Use cold water, heat the raw Turkish coffee grounds slowly, and remove the cezve as the foam rises. A vigorous boil can break up the foam; stirring after the coffee has started heating can also disturb it.
Can raw Turkish coffee grounds be reused for another cup?
No, reusing raw Turkish coffee grounds usually makes a weak, flat cup because much of their flavor has already entered the first brew. Measure fresh grounds for each serving instead of trying to brew the leftover sediment again.
Can you use raw Turkish coffee grounds in a drip coffee maker?
Raw Turkish coffee grounds are much finer than the grind intended for most drip coffee makers. They can pass through a standard filter or clog it, so choose a drip-compatible grind for that brewing method.
How should you store raw Turkish coffee grounds after opening?
Keep raw Turkish coffee grounds in a tightly sealed, dry container away from heat, light, and strong odors. Limiting their exposure to air and moisture helps preserve the aroma after the package is opened.
Does raw Turkish coffee grounds contain caffeine?
Yes, raw Turkish coffee grounds contain caffeine, which transfers into the brewed cup. The amount in a serving varies with how much ground coffee you use and how you prepare it; choose a smaller serving if caffeine affects you.

What is Raw Turkish coffee grounds?
Raw Turkish coffee grounds are very finely ground, dry coffee, not a prepared drink. For Turkish-style coffee, roasted beans are ground to a powder and simmered with water; “raw” here refers to the grounds before brewing, not necessarily unroasted beans. The coffee is traditionally made in a small pot and poured unfiltered into small cups, leaving the grounds at the bottom. In Turkey it is often served after a meal or with a sweet such as Turkish delight; elsewhere, enjoy it as a small, leisurely cup.
Coffee supplies caffeine and polyphenols, and its flavour is concentrated even though a serving uses little powder. A small teaspoon is about 2 g. Brew it gently and stop heating as the foam rises; serving water alongside helps balance the intense taste.
