Turkish coffee is made in a tiny coffee pot known as a “cezve” in Turkish and served with a glass of water and Turkish sweets known as “lokum.” Turkish coffee is a daily habit followed by almost everyone in the country, usually after a meal and accompanied by genuine discussion. 

Turkish coffee is almost always served with a glass of water and Turkish delight, which cleans the palate and turns the aftertaste into something bittersweet. Sade (no sugar), orta şekerli (medium), or çok şekerli (very sweet), Turkish coffee is almost always served with a glass of water and Turkish delight, which cleans the palate and turns the aftertaste into something bittersweet. The presence of froth in your fincan (the small cup in which Turkish coffee is served) indicates that the coffee has been properly prepared. It should be consumed in tiny sips so that the grounds settle at the bottom of the cup and may be read to reveal your fate.

During your stay to Istanbul, there are many locations where you may enjoy the finest and most authentic Turkish coffee, but we wanted to offer you a brief overview of some of them. If you pick a coffee shop near the Bosphorus, you may enjoy your coffee with your loved ones while overlooking the Bosphorus and the sea. Make sure you buy the appropriate coffee for you, however. You may wish to add extra sugar to Turkish coffee since it is thicker than other coffees.
