To make Turkish coffee: 1-You will need filtered water, Turkish coffee, cezve (a special wide bottom pot, usually made of copper)Turkish coffee cups, and sugar. 2-Always use cold, filtered water. To measure the amount of water for each cup, use the coffee cup you are going to use.My rule of thumb is 1 ½ cup of water per coffee cup. Once again, the “cup” measurement is the coffee cup thatyou are going to serve the coffee in, rather than a standard measuring cup. 3-Turkish coffee is much more finely ground than regular coffee. I have never ground it myself and I wouldn’t recommendyou do that either. Nowadays, you can find Turkish Coffee in most Middle Eastern or Mediterranean supermarkets.Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi is one of the most popular brands of Turkish coffee. 4-For each cup of coffee, I use a heaping tablespoon of ground coffee. If your guests prefer their coffee with sugar, add thesugar in the very beginning, stirring the mixture until combined. 5-Slowly bring it to a boil over medium heat. This will take about 3-4 minutes, so keep a close eye on it. As the coffee warms,you will see a dark foam building up. This dark foam is very important. It is customary and important to serve Turkish coffeewith foam on top. Closer to it coming to a boil, using a teaspoon, transfer some of the foam into each of your Turkish coffee cups.Return coffee pot to stovetop. As coffee comes to a boil, pour half of the coffee into the cups, over the foam. Return coffeepot to stovetop and boil the remaining coffee for an additional 15-20 seconds and pour the rest into the coffee cups, fillingthem to the rim.
