Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee (single sugar)
How do you make single-sugar Turkish coffee?
To make single-sugar Turkish coffee, stir finely ground coffee, water and one measure of sugar together in a cezve before heating. Warm it slowly and pour the rising foam into the cup before serving.
Does single-sugar Turkish coffee have caffeine?
Yes, single-sugar Turkish coffee contains caffeine; adding sugar does not remove it. The amount varies with the coffee used, serving size and preparation, so there is no single fixed caffeine figure for every cup.
Why is water served with single-sugar Turkish coffee?
Water is served to refresh your palate before or after the intense coffee flavor. A small glass of water alongside single-sugar Turkish coffee is also a familiar part of its traditional presentation.
How do you get foam on single-sugar Turkish coffee?
For a foamy cup, mix the coffee, sugar and water in the cezve before heating, then warm it gently. Pour the foam into the cup as it rises; letting the coffee boil vigorously can reduce the foam.
What does “single sugar” mean in single-sugar Turkish coffee?
“Single sugar” means one measure of sugar is added while the coffee is prepared. The measure can vary between households and cafés, so the sweetness may differ; ask for less sugar if you prefer a less sweet cup.
Do you drink the grounds in single-sugar Turkish coffee?
No, the grounds in single-sugar Turkish coffee settle at the bottom and are usually left in the cup. Sip the coffee slowly and stop before the sediment reaches your mouth.
Can you drink single-sugar Turkish coffee before bed?
You can, but its caffeine may make it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. If caffeine affects you, avoid drinking single-sugar Turkish coffee close to bedtime.
Is single-sugar Turkish coffee the same as Greek coffee?
They are very similar: both are finely ground coffees brewed in water and served unfiltered, with the grounds settling in the cup. Recipes, serving customs and the coffee used can differ by household and region.
Can single-sugar Turkish coffee raise blood sugar?
Yes, the added sugar in single-sugar Turkish coffee can affect blood sugar. If you have diabetes, factor that sugar into your eating plan and ask your healthcare professional what works for you.
Can you reheat single-sugar Turkish coffee?
It is best served fresh rather than reheated. As single-sugar Turkish coffee sits, the foam disappears and the grounds settle; reheating can make the taste less pleasant, so prepare a fresh cup when possible.

What is Turkish coffee (single sugar)?
Turkish coffee (single sugar) is finely ground coffee brewed with water and one sugar, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. The grounds remain in the cup rather than being filtered out, and a foamy top is prized.
In Turkey it is often served after a meal or when welcoming guests, usually in a small cup with a glass of water. Its flavour is concentrated and bittersweet, with a fine sediment that settles at the bottom. The drink is mostly water, while the added sugar contributes carbohydrates; the coffee itself adds very little protein or fat. For a less sweet cup, use less sugar, or serve it alongside a small sweet treat.
