Turkish Coffee is the name given to a type of coffee whose preparation and brewing techniques were invented by the Turks. It has a unique taste, froth, aroma, brewing technique and presentation. In other words, it has its own identity and tradition.

The first coffee was made in the Arabian Peninsula by boiling coffee cherries. The new method invented by the Turks revealed coffee's true flavor and peerless aroma. The Turks introduced coffee to Europe where for many years it was prepared and consumed as Turkish Coffee.

Turkish Coffee is made from high quality arabica coffee beans from Central America and Brazil that are blended and carefully roasted, then very finely ground.

Preparation:

• open the coffee machine, add one heaped teaspoon of coffee per cupful of water and sugar to taste. 
• When the coffee begins to froth up, remove from heat, pour into each cup.   
• Be careful not to stir after serving or you will disturb the sediment and the coffee will taste gritty. Each cup should be frothy and deliciously aromatic. 
• It is customary to serve Turkish Coffee with a glass of water. The water prepares the mouth for the coffee's flavour. 
• The coffee must be left to stand for a short time (one minute) after serving to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cup. 
• When serving a large group, it is best to prepare semi-sweet Turkish Coffee.
