Quoting AlphaF: Traditional Turkish coffee is always served with a glass of water on the side.
Does anyone know why?

In Ayvalik in October, my friend made me coffee just by boiling up the powder and serving it straight away, it was terrible. I poured it back in the pan, made it by the spooning off the froth method and told him that was the way to do it. He was shocked he kept saying 'excuse me MADAM, but who is the Turk here, me or you?'

i don't know how to describe it exactly. instead of an electric hearth they are using a surface covered with hot sand.
i wish my english were better, but i cant find the right words to explain this. anyone can help? please?

i think you are right ramayan. this must be turkish coffee. as Greece was ruled by turks for centuries, many elements from turkish culture were adopted by greeks, took greek names and now they are considered to be greek. coffee must be one of them.
but let me tell you something. the greek version of turkish coffee, is muuuuuuch more tasteful than the turkish one. i personally prefer turkish, cause its darker and stronger, but greek is delicious!

Heheheh Tiny my friend it is not 'most complicated and long winded version' at all. Believe me I prepare this coffee in less than two minutes(of course after water boils). And it is my pleasure to watch the foam rising up all those times.
Well this is the way of making turkish coffe from the Ottoman Empire while Bosnia was under Turkish rule (1463-1878) hihi ...my grand mother taught me..he rgrandmother taught her and so on...
I wanted to share this old way of making turkish coffee (and traditional here in my country) ..
But instead of coffee pot it is better to use 'cezve' long-handled pot for making Turkish coffee (cezve is made of copper) and it hase better taste in 'copper coffee pot' than when you make it in usual cofee pot.
And here are some advantages for not adding sugar in water (AlphaF):
First** when sugar boils beraber with water and coffee, coffee loses its original taste (chemical reasons do not ask me why)
Second***it is much easier to please your friends, why, well everyone's taste is different , for some of them it could be çok çok şekerli for some of them it can be very bitter(acı and after that they wont ever drink your coffee.
And it is more polite when you ask while serving : do you like more şekerli or less, how much dou you want me to put in your cup one or two teaspon?
Preparing, serving, and drinking coffe should be delightfull.
One more thing: you should always have a sugar pot filled with some pieces of cube sugar couse some of bayanlar like having ‘keyif’ while drinking coffee(like me mesela hehe)
