Frequently Asked Questions About Unfiltered Turkish Coffee
How do you make unfiltered Turkish coffee?
To make unfiltered Turkish coffee, stir very finely ground coffee into cold water in a cezve, then heat it gently until the foam rises. Pour the foam into the cups first, return the cezve briefly to the heat, and finish pouring without boiling over.
Why does unfiltered Turkish coffee have grounds at the bottom?
Unfiltered Turkish coffee is brewed without a paper or metal filter, so the fine coffee particles remain in the cup and settle at the bottom. Letting the cup stand briefly gives the grounds time to sink before you drink.
How do you get foam on unfiltered Turkish coffee?
Use freshly ground coffee, cold water, and gentle heat to build foam on unfiltered Turkish coffee. Stir the mixture before heating, but avoid stirring once it is on the stove; take it off as soon as the foam rises.
Do you drink the grounds in unfiltered Turkish coffee?
No, the grounds in unfiltered Turkish coffee are normally left in the cup rather than swallowed. Sip slowly and stop before the sediment reaches your mouth; the settled layer is also traditionally used for coffee-cup fortune reading.
Does unfiltered Turkish coffee need a special pot?
A cezve, also called an ibrik, is the traditional pot for unfiltered Turkish coffee because its narrow top helps foam form and makes pouring easier. A small saucepan can work, but it is harder to control the foam and serve evenly.
How finely should you grind coffee for unfiltered Turkish coffee?
Grind coffee for unfiltered Turkish coffee to a powder-like fineness, finer than espresso. Coarser grounds do not settle or brew in the same way, and can leave the cup gritty rather than producing the customary smooth, concentrated drink.
Is unfiltered Turkish coffee stronger than espresso?
Unfiltered Turkish coffee and espresso are both concentrated, but neither is always stronger: caffeine depends on the serving size, coffee beans, and preparation. Turkish coffee is usually served in a small cup, while espresso is brewed under pressure.
Why is water served with unfiltered Turkish coffee?
Water is traditionally served with unfiltered Turkish coffee to refresh the palate before or after each sip. A small glass of water is often offered alongside the coffee, sometimes with a sweet such as Turkish delight.
Does unfiltered Turkish coffee dehydrate you?
No, a moderate serving of unfiltered Turkish coffee does not normally dehydrate a healthy adult. Coffee contributes fluid, although caffeine can increase urination temporarily, especially for people who do not consume it regularly.
Can unfiltered Turkish coffee keep you awake at night?
Yes, the caffeine in unfiltered Turkish coffee can make it harder to fall asleep, particularly when you drink it late in the day. If it affects your sleep, have it earlier or choose a caffeine-free drink in the evening.

What is Unfiltered Turkish Coffee?
Unfiltered Turkish coffee is made by gently heating finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot called a cezve. The grounds are not strained out; they settle at the bottom of the cup. The method is closely associated with Turkey and its long-standing coffee culture.
It is usually served in a small cup, often after a meal and with a glass of water; a sweet such as Turkish delight may accompany it. Drunk plain, it contributes very little energy but does contain caffeine. For a lighter cup, leave out the sugar and let the grounds settle rather than drinking the last sip.
