Quoting Nuratic:

Lululi,

The way I make it is as follows:

1. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar per person (if you drink it sweet then add additional 1/2 spoon or decrease it)
2. Add 1 tea spoon of coffee per person (I typically will add an extra 1/2 to 1 spoon of coffee as it creates more froft.)
3. Mix it together with your tea spoon
4. Take your Turkish coffee cup and fill it will water
5. If you are making coffee for two then put two turkish cups of water (these cups are usually very small)
6. Let it boil until you see the froft raise.
7. Take your tea spoon and take some of the froft out and putting it in the cups.
8. Let the coffee come to boil again.
9. Stir it and begin adding it to the cups.

Valla........

Let me know how this turns out for you. And yes, the coffee grinds will settle at the bottom of the cup, which can be used to read for fortune telling.




You're right the coffee grinds should settle at the bottom if made correctly but unfortunately the worst Turkish coffee I have drunk has been when I've been on holiday in Turkey! I'm yet to have a decent cup. The grinds are always floating at the top which makes it disgusting to drink which is why I think a lot of foreign tourists think Turkish coffee is thick and vile - like me they've never had one that's been made properly!! When made properly it's similar to an Italian expresso coffee.

This is my Mum's fail proof method of making Turkish coffee. A lot also depends on the brand of coffee as there a few that my Mum won't go near because of their poor flavour. Anyway, here goes.

1. Add cold water to your coffee pot.

2. To this add sugar if taking and one heaped teaspoon of
coffee.

3. Put on the heat and keep stirring until it begins to
come to the boil and then stop stirring. As the froth
begins to raise to the top give it one more stir and
pour into cup. This should give you a coffee with a
light brown froth on top with the coffee grinds
settled at the bottom.

You just have to keep practising until you get it right but the coffee grinds should never be floating at the top and you should never drink these from the bottom of the cup. This is what spoils a nice cup of coffee and puts people off. As far as I'm concerned this is the same as an Italian expresso it's just that they use a coffee percolator to make theirs which seperates the grinds from the liquid making it easier to drink.

Here is my way of making turkish coffee

If you want to make 4 cups of coffe

1. add 4,5(**not 4) cups water into the pot and let it boil
2. into the coffe pot add 1,5 teaspoon of cofee per one cup of water(so for four cops of coffe put 6 teaspoon of coffee)
3. when the water is ready(when start to boil) put coffee pot on the stovetop to get warm not to much(obout 10 seconds) than boiled water pour into cofee pot(you should hear the sound at the moment when you pour boiled water into the coffee pot, cose there is a special sound when boiled water mix with heated coffee)
4. do not stir coffee yet!!!!!!!
5. also do not add any of sugar
6. let it boil again(let foam appear towards the top of the pot/be careful)
7. take coffee pot over the stovetop (to let foam down) and put it again on te stove to boil, repeat this action 3 times
8. remove the pot from the heat(pour some drops of cold water) and set it aside for a minute or two to cool, this allows the coffee grinds to settle on the bottom of the pot.
9. than gently stir foam and put some of foam to each of cups and than add coffee into cups
10. what about sugar?????????? Well everyone is taking as much sugar as needed, somebody like more sugar somebody don't, so you are free to take as much as you like (usually we drink it with cube sugar)

enjoy the coffee

if you want your coffee bol köpüklü you have to use cold water.

And its so yavan if you put one teaspoon perhead if you have a taste of damak you put one and a half teaspoon coffee if you put equal sugar and coffee your coffee will şekerli

It's interesting to hear the different methods used to make "Turkish coffee" but this one has to be the most complicated and long winded version I've ever heard!

Traditional Turkish coffee is always served with a glass of water on the side.

Does anyone know why?

I underwrite Nightingale's method and measures

Except, start with coffee and sugar in the cold water.....
