Sürmeli Turkish coffee is made by gently heating finely ground coffee with water in a cezve, or small coffee pot. Stir before heating, then leave it undisturbed as it warms. Remove it when the foam rises, before it boils over.
Sürmeli Turkish coffee is unfiltered, so the fine grounds settle at the bottom of the cup. Let the coffee stand briefly before drinking, and stop before the last sip if you do not want to swallow the sediment.
Sürmeli Turkish coffee can taste more concentrated than a large mug of drip coffee, but strength depends on the amount of coffee and water used. Its small serving does contain caffeine, so it should not be assumed to be a low-caffeine drink.
Sürmeli Turkish coffee and Greek coffee are both traditionally made by heating finely ground coffee with water and serving the grounds unfiltered. Their preparation is very similar; names, roast preferences, and additions such as spices vary among households and regions.
Yes, Sürmeli Turkish coffee can be made in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. Use gentle heat and watch it closely: a wider pan can make the foam rise and spill over quickly.
No, do not keep stirring Sürmeli Turkish coffee as it heats. Stir the finely ground coffee and water together before putting the pot on the heat, then let the foam form undisturbed so it can be served on top.
Water is traditionally served alongside Sürmeli Turkish coffee to refresh the palate. Drinking it first can make the coffee’s aroma easier to notice, while sipping it afterward helps clear the lingering taste of coffee and grounds.
You can swallow the grounds in Sürmeli Turkish coffee, but they are not meant to be drunk as part of the last sip. They settle at the bottom, where the texture is gritty; leave that sediment in the cup if you prefer.
Yes, Sürmeli Turkish coffee is often used for traditional coffee-ground readings. After drinking most of the coffee, leave a little sediment, cover the cup with its saucer, turn it over, and interpret the patterns once they have settled. This is a cultural tradition, not a reliable prediction.
Store opened Sürmeli Turkish coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. Keep it away from heat, moisture, and strong odors; finely ground coffee loses its aroma faster than whole beans, so buy an amount you can use while it stays fragrant.

Sürmeli Turkish coffee is made by simmering very finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. The grounds are not filtered out, so they settle at the bottom of the cup; a good serving is topped with a light layer of foam.
In Turkey it is often enjoyed slowly from a small cup, plain or sweetened, with a glass of water and sometimes a piece of lokum. It also makes a familiar end to a meal or a pause during a visit. Unsweetened, it is extremely low in energy—1 calorie per 100 g—so keep it plain if you want the lightest cup.
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.
