Since the Ottoman empire until now, the Turkish coffee has played an important role in the Turkish lifestyles and culture. Brought to Istanbul in 1555 by two Syrian traders, coffee became part of elaborate ceremonies in the Ottoman court.

Originating from the Arabica beans, Turkish coffee is a very fine, powder-like grind. It is cooked in a coffee pot named "cezve". Some like it without sugar and some with some sugar. Once the water and coffee is boiling, you need to wait until that moment where the foam will rise and then pour it into a special Turkish coffee cup (similar to espresso cups)
