Im not Turkish but our culture is influenced by it through history. We’ve made and drank much Turkish coffee in our country. One thing I have to say is the foam does not get discarded. If you mean you portion it out in each cup you are right but the foam is the prized part not many can get a good foam going. But the more you stir the foam the less there will be. Yes you let the coffee rest so the grounds fall to the bottom before pouring. It’s so good and it takes a bit of practice
Hi Jessica, it is a great recipe and serving:)I think Turkish coffee is always better with yummy Turkish delights. Thank you!
I am a huge coffee fan, love your serving tray by the way, thank you for all the tips, I need to enjoy some Turkish coffee soon!
Thanks, Sara! Turkish coffee is amazing!
What beautifully presented coffee. This would be great to serve up to guests.
I’ve never made Turkish Coffee before, but after seeing your lovely photos, I certainly want to try!
It’s a lot easier than it sounds! Def must try it one day!
Coffee looks tempting.
Wow, your pics are amazing! I have been lucky enough to try traditionally prepared Turkish coffee, and it is amazing as you describe. I have never attempted making it at home, as I always figured it was too much prep – but this sounds completely doable! Project for the new year 🙂
Thanks, Donna! It’s a lot easier than it sounds. If I’m not drinking iced coffee, then this is the go to way to make it!
I’ve never had Turkish coffee but it looks tasty. The past few years I hadn’t been huge coffee drink up until my blog started taking more time which meant Sunday mornings making breakfast and coffee yum!
I’m such a iced coffee drinker but I do make the exception with Turkish coffee because it’s just so different!
Just an amazing article on such a luscious beverage. I have moved away from the traditional drip version as it just doesn’t cut it. The flavor is not there. I use a JuraCapresso Z5 machine that pulls a decent brew. Highly recommended machine for the flavor unfortunately the 3k price point a number of years back is too much for most. Any good URLs for places to buy the recommended Turkish brew? Thanks Gary
I’d love to get a machine someday, soon! Amazon actually carries this brand and it’s highly recommended from my Turkish friends. Here’s the link or simply just type Turkish coffee into amazon and it will pull it up, too!
