Double Turkish coffee with light sugar is made by simmering finely ground coffee, water, and a small amount of sugar together in a cezve. Stir the ingredients before heating, then let the coffee rise gently and divide the foam between the cups.
Usually, yes: a double serving of Turkish coffee with light sugar contains more caffeine if it is made with more grounds than a single serving. “Double” is not a fixed measure everywhere, so the actual difference depends on how much coffee is used.
“Double” generally means a larger, roughly two-serving portion of Turkish coffee with light sugar, rather than a standardized brewing strength. Serving sizes vary between cafés and machines, so ask about the cup size if you need to know how much you are ordering.
For foam on double Turkish coffee with light sugar, stir the coffee, water, and sugar together while cold, then heat gently without stirring again. Take the cezve off the heat as the foam rises, before the coffee boils over, and spoon foam into the cups.
No, the fine grounds in double Turkish coffee with light sugar settle at the bottom and are usually left in the cup. Drink the liquid above them; swallowing a little is not generally dangerous, but the gritty texture can be unpleasant.
Water is served with double Turkish coffee with light sugar to refresh the palate before the coffee and balance its intense flavor. A sip of water beforehand can make the coffee’s aroma easier to notice; it does not cancel the caffeine.
Yes, you can make double Turkish coffee with light sugar in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. Heat it gently and watch closely as it foams; a narrow pot is easier to control and helps keep the foam from spilling.
Not necessarily. Double Turkish coffee with light sugar is served in a larger volume than a single espresso, but caffeine depends on the amount of coffee used and the serving size. The two brewing methods do not have a single consistent strength ranking.
Yes, the caffeine in double Turkish coffee with light sugar can make it harder to fall asleep, particularly when you drink it later in the day. If caffeine affects your sleep, have it earlier or choose a smaller serving.
You can reheat double Turkish coffee with light sugar, but it will not regain its original foam and freshly brewed flavor. The grounds settle as it sits, so Turkish coffee is best made in the amount you plan to drink and served immediately.

Turkish coffee, light sugar, double is made by simmering very finely ground coffee with water and a little sugar, traditionally in a cezve. It is served unfiltered, so the grounds settle at the bottom of the cup. “Double” refers to a larger portion than the small cup traditionally used for Turkish coffee.
The foam is shared between the cups, and the coffee is usually served hot with a glass of water; a small sweet may accompany it. Its flavour is rich and roasted, with just a mild sweetness. Since it is made without milk, it is a relatively simple, light coffee drink; it contains 14 kcal per 100 g. If you prefer less sweetness, ask for the sugar to be reduced further.
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.
