Turkish coffee is more than a hot beverage; it’s a cultural ritual with roots going back to the 16th century Ottoman Empire.
Made using finely ground coffee beans, Turkish coffee is brewed unfiltered in a cezve (a small, long-handled pot) and brought to a gentle froth. The resulting brew is thick, bold, and enjoyed slowly, often served with a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight (lokum).
The grounds left at the bottom of the cup are sometimes used for fortune-telling, with each symbol revealing something about the drinker’s future. Recognized by UNESCO as a cultural heritage, Turkish coffee represents hospitality and community, making it an essential part of Turkish gatherings.
