Unsweetened double Turkish coffee is served as a double-strength or double-sized portion, depending on the café; the term is not standardized. It contains no added sugar, and its finely ground coffee is brewed without filtering, so grounds settle in the cup.
Brew unsweetened double Turkish coffee in a cezve with finely ground coffee and cold water, using twice the usual serving or strength your recipe calls for. Heat it slowly without boiling, then pour carefully so the grounds can settle.
It can have more caffeine than a single Turkish coffee because it is a double serving, but it is not possible to give one reliable comparison with regular coffee. Bean type, serving size, and brewing strength all affect the caffeine.
No, the grounds in unsweetened double Turkish coffee are not meant to be drunk. They settle at the bottom because the coffee is unfiltered; leave the last sip if you do not want a mouthful of sediment.
Unsweetened double Turkish coffee may have little foam if the coffee is stale, the grind is too coarse, or the brew is heated too quickly. Use very finely ground coffee, cold water, and gentle heat, and take it off the stove before it boils.
Yes, unsweetened double Turkish coffee is often served with a glass of water. Sipping water before the coffee refreshes the palate, making it easier to notice the coffee’s flavor; it does not cancel out caffeine.
Usually, unsweetened double Turkish coffee is treated as a fasting-friendly drink because it has no added sugar and very few calories. Fasting plans differ, though, and some require only water, so follow the rules of your particular plan.
It can be, because caffeine may delay sleep or make sleep lighter. A double serving can be more stimulating than a single cup; choose a non-caffeinated drink in the evening if caffeine affects your sleep.
Yes, coffee-cup fortune telling is a popular tradition after drinking unsweetened double Turkish coffee. Turn the cup onto its saucer and read shapes left by the grounds for fun; it is folklore, not a reliable way to predict events.
Yes, but count its caffeine toward your total for the day, since a double serving may provide more than a single cup. Caffeine content varies with preparation, so ask your doctor or dietitian what limit is appropriate during pregnancy.

Unsweetened double Turkish coffee is made by simmering finely ground coffee with water, traditionally in a small pot, then pouring it without filtering. “Double” signals a stronger or larger serving than the usual small cup; the grounds settle at the bottom, so the last mouthful is generally left behind.
It has a deep, concentrated flavour, a dense feel and often a fine cap of foam. In Turkey it is commonly offered during visits and conversation or after a meal, usually with a glass of water; elsewhere, it fits naturally into a slow coffee break. With virtually no energy from sugar or milk, it is a very low-calorie, caffeinated drink. Enjoy it plain, or pair it with a small sweet if you want a contrast to its bitterness.
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.
