What is Turkish coffee (unsweetened, cinnamon)?
Turkish coffee is made by simmering very finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. In this unsweetened, cinnamon version, no sugar is added; cinnamon is sprinkled over the surface, and the grounds remain in the cup rather than being filtered out.
It is served dark, aromatic and often topped with a thin foam, in a small cup. In Turkey it commonly follows a meal or accompanies conversation, with a glass of water and sometimes a sweet on the side. The drink itself is mostly water, with very little protein, carbohydrate or fat. For a lighter pairing, serve it with nuts or enjoy it plain; let the grounds settle before drinking the last sip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee (unsweetened, cinnamon)
How do you make unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon?
To make unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon, stir finely ground coffee, cold water, and cinnamon together in a cezve, then heat gently. Take it off the heat as the foam rises, before it boils over, and pour it into a small cup.
Does unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon have caffeine?
Yes, unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon contains caffeine. Leaving out sugar does not reduce the caffeine, and cinnamon does not cancel its effects. If caffeine keeps you awake, avoid drinking it close to bedtime.
Can you drink the grounds in unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon?
You can swallow a little by accident, but the grounds are not meant to be drunk. They settle at the bottom because Turkish coffee is served unfiltered; leave the final mouthful in the cup to avoid a gritty sip.
When should you add cinnamon to unsweetened Turkish coffee?
Add cinnamon to the cezve before brewing if you want its flavor infused throughout the cup. For a more noticeable aroma, sprinkle a little on top after pouring. Cinnamon adds spice, not sweetness.
How do you get foam on unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon?
For a good foam cap, heat the coffee slowly over low heat and stop before it reaches a rolling boil. Avoid stirring once it is heating, and use freshly ground, finely ground coffee; vigorous boiling can disperse the foam.
What is the difference between Turkish coffee with cinnamon and Greek coffee?
Both are finely ground coffees brewed unfiltered in a small pot and served with grounds that settle in the cup. Turkish coffee with cinnamon includes cinnamon as a flavoring; Greek coffee is often prepared with sugar, but recipes vary.
Can you make unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon in a coffee machine?
Yes, a machine designed specifically for Turkish coffee can brew it and produce foam. A standard drip or espresso machine is not a substitute: it uses a different brewing method and will not make traditional Turkish coffee.
Why is water served with unsweetened Turkish coffee?
Water is traditionally served alongside unsweetened Turkish coffee to refresh the palate before sipping, so the coffee’s flavor stands out. It is also common to offer a small sweet, such as Turkish delight, with the coffee.
Can you read fortunes from unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon?
People do read fortunes from the patterns left by the grounds in unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon. After drinking, they cover the cup with its saucer and let the grounds settle; this is a cultural pastime, not a way to predict the future.
Can you store leftover unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon?
It is best to drink unsweetened Turkish coffee with cinnamon soon after brewing, while its aroma and foam are fresh. If you leave it standing, the grounds settle further and the flavor fades; reheating will not restore the original foam.
