What is Turkish coffee, plain, double?
Turkish coffee, plain, double is made by gently brewing very finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. It is served without sugar, and “double” refers to a larger or double serving rather than a separate brewing style.
It has a deep, roasty aroma and a dense feel, with fine grounds settling at the bottom of the cup. In Turkey it is commonly served slowly, often with a glass of water and sometimes a piece of Turkish delight; elsewhere, it fits naturally after a meal or alongside a small sweet. Unsweetened Turkish coffee is very low in calories, making this a simple choice when you want bold coffee flavour without added sugar. Sip it rather than drinking down the settled grounds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee, plain, double
How much caffeine is in double plain Turkish coffee?
Double plain Turkish coffee contains caffeine, but there is no fixed amount for every cup. The amount depends on how much ground coffee is used and how the coffee is prepared.
How do you make double plain Turkish coffee?
Double plain Turkish coffee is made by slowly heating finely ground coffee with water in a cezve, or small coffee pot. Pour it into the cup with its grounds once the foam rises, before it boils over.
Is double plain Turkish coffee the same as espresso?
No, double plain Turkish coffee is not espresso. It is brewed with very finely ground coffee that remains in the cup, while espresso is made by forcing hot water through compacted grounds under pressure.
Do you drink the grounds in double plain Turkish coffee?
No, you normally leave the grounds at the bottom of double plain Turkish coffee. Sip the liquid without stirring the cup, since stirring brings the sediment into your mouth.
Why does double plain Turkish coffee have foam on top?
The foam on double plain Turkish coffee forms as the finely ground coffee heats slowly with the water. Fresh grounds, gentle heating and avoiding a rolling boil help preserve the foam.
Can you add sugar to double plain Turkish coffee?
Yes, you can add sugar to double plain Turkish coffee, but it is traditionally added to the pot during brewing rather than stirred into the finished cup. “Plain” means it is served without sugar.
Can you drink double plain Turkish coffee while pregnant?

Does double plain Turkish coffee keep you awake?
It can. The caffeine in double plain Turkish coffee may make it harder to fall asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine or drink it close to bedtime.
Can you reheat double plain Turkish coffee?
Double plain Turkish coffee is best served freshly brewed. Reheating it can make the flavor harsher, and the grounds settle as it stands; prepare only what you plan to drink.
How is double plain Turkish coffee served?
Double plain Turkish coffee is usually served in a small cup with its grounds, often with a glass of water on the side. The water refreshes your palate before or after the concentrated coffee.
