Make double Turkish coffee with medium sugar by stirring finely ground coffee, water, and sugar together in a cezve before heating. Warm it slowly over low heat, spoon the developing foam into the cups, then let the coffee rise without boiling over.
Not necessarily: double Turkish coffee can taste intense, but strength by taste is not the same as caffeine content. The caffeine depends on how much coffee is used and the serving size, while espresso is brewed by a different method.
Turkish coffee is brewed with very finely ground beans that remain in the cup rather than being filtered out. The grounds gradually settle, so let the last sip rest if you want to avoid drinking the sediment.
No, “medium sugar” is not a fixed recipe across cafés or households. It means a moderately sweet cup, but the amount varies; when ordering, tell the person making it if you prefer it less or more sweet.
Often it contains more caffeine because a double serving may use more ground coffee, but the name alone does not guarantee a specific amount. Bean type and the recipe also affect how much caffeine ends up in the cup.
Water is commonly served with Turkish coffee to refresh the palate, especially before the first sip. It is a customary accompaniment rather than an ingredient, and a small sweet such as Turkish delight may also be offered.
You can, but the settled grounds are not meant to be drunk. Turkish coffee is traditionally sipped slowly, leaving the thick sediment at the bottom of the cup rather than swallowing it with the final mouthful.
Yes, you can reheat it gently, but double Turkish coffee with medium sugar may lose its fresh aroma and foam. Warm it briefly over low heat and avoid bringing it to a boil, which can make the flavor harsher.
They are closely related styles of unfiltered coffee, usually prepared by simmering finely ground coffee in water. Their preparation is similar, but names, serving customs, and preferred sweetness can differ; Turkish coffee is not simply espresso served in a small cup.
Yes, a small saucepan can work if you do not have a cezve, though it is harder to control the foam. Heat the finely ground coffee and water slowly, watch closely as it rises, and pour gently so the sediment stays settled.

Turkish coffee is made by gently heating very finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. For a double cup with medium sugar, the sugar is added during brewing, and the coffee is poured without filtering; the grounds settle in the cup. It is known for its concentrated flavour and light foam, and is often served in small cups after a meal or as part of welcoming guests, usually with a glass of water. A sweet alongside is optional. Most of its energy comes from the added sugar, while protein and fat are negligible. For a less sweet cup, ask for less sugar or share the double serving.
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.
