Turkish coffee is famous for the oldest brewing technique in the world perfected in the ancient breweries of Istanbul. The unique taste, aroma and foam of Turkish coffee and its traditional presentation are renowned in many cultures with their heritage and identity.
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi’s Turkish coffee is made from high quality Arabica coffee beans from various parts of Central and South America. They are assembled and roasted, then finely ground according to a traditional method that makes its preparation a work of art. The coffee maker prides itself on the way the foam settles on top of the cup (Turkish coffee cup), which stays in your mouth and lets you enjoy its delicious taste longer than any other type of coffee.
Another particularity of Turkish coffee is that it is not necessary to filter or strain it because the grounds settle at the bottom of the cup. For this reason, Turkish coffee is very practical and economical, as you only need a Cezve (Turkish coffee maker) to prepare it.
Do you know the Café Turc?
Originally from Turkey, Turkish coffee is part of the country’s cultural heritage. It is often served with a glass of water (because it is very strong, to cleanse the palate after each sip) and a turkish delight. No milk or cream is ever added, but the degree of sugar can vary according to taste: it can be “sade”: without sugar, “orta”: medium or “sekerli”: sweet.
