Coffee culture in Turkey
In Turkey, coffee is a popular beverage with a rich culture and history. Coffee consumption in this country is prepared in two main ways: “Turkish coffee” and “French coffee.” The traditional Turkish method, associated with local coffee houses and fast food joints, consists of Turkish coffee in small teapots drunk with water and sugar.
But French coffee is prepared using espresso machines. In the past, coffee consumption in Turkey was associated with special events held with friends and family in coffee houses or homes. Rituals related to coffee consumption included placing coffee in small cups, spreading walnut skins on the surface of the coffee, and even reading fortunes from the baklava and chocolates served with the coffee.
Coffee houses and shops in Turkey are popular places to drink coffee, often with traditional and historical contexts, and places to meet friends and chat. In addition, in the cities of Turkey, you can find historical coffee, a cultural and historical symbol of this country, and an important tourist attraction.
In general, the consumption of coffee in Turkey is considered an important cultural element that is presented along with certain ceremonies and customs and is a part of the daily life of the people of this country.
Drinking Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is one of the critical and popular cultural symbols in Turkey. This type of coffee is prepared uniquely, and it is also known as “Turkish” or “Turkish coffee.” In this method, coffee drinkers pour ground coffee, water, and sugar into small teapots and heat them until they boil.
The coffee is then usually cooked in a cylindrical coffee maker or gas, which is also called “Sarkaz.” Finally, Turkish coffee is ready to drink. It is traditionally served in small cups or “Turkish coffee cups.” This type of coffee, with its unique taste and aroma, is known as one of the famous and prominent foods in Turkish culture, and it is also considered a symbol of the most important social and cultural elements in this country.
