Turkish
Coffee> Brazil Santos 17/18, medium roast, finely ground
Cezve> pot (may use small milk pitcher if you don’t have a cezve) Sugar> white granular Teaspoon> U.S. size Cup> 1-Turkish cup = 90cc (3oz) or may use Espresso cups |
Water>
measure water slightly less than the cup size (85cc)
Water should be at room temperature or colder Note> The colder the water the better the froth.
|
Coffee>
1 heaping teaspoon per serving (based on Brazil Santos, medium roast,
Zassenhaus handheld grinder) = 1-heaping U.S. size teaspoon = 1-1/2
Turkish size teaspoon = 10gr (0.35 oz) Note> Amount of coffee will differ with the coffee origin. |
Sugar>
½ U.S. size teaspoon per serving (adjust as according to taste)
Black: None Note> More sugar makes more froth. Mixing> Stir water, coffee and sugar until a homogenous liquid is achieved.

Steam>
Perge steam wand. Place cezve under the wand. Slowly turn the
steam on to low
Positioning> Place cezve slightly tilted to the side keeping the wand just off-center and dipped just below surface |
Steam>
adjust the steam to reach a 1:00 minute cooking time.
Don’t exceed 2:30 minutes nor go below 1:00 minute Color> you should see color change from dark to light |
Froth>
you should see froth forming about halfway through cooking
Bubbles> Don’t create bubbles. Control the steam wand so no bubbles are formed. Never Boil the coffee |
Serve>
Coffee should be poured into the center and cup should be filled
completely to the rim
Note> if you used correct amount of water, there should be no coffee left in the cezve |

With this method, you will end up with well-formed froth at top and perfect settlement at the bottom (about 1/4of the cup)
Froth
shows how well the coffee is prepared and telve (settlement) is used
for fortune telling
Note> if you use Ethiopia, Guatemala, or
similar, you might end up with particles floating in the coffee caused by
their poor settlement characteristics. Roasting these origins for Turkish
Coffee requires expertise. Blends may be used but the most generic origin
is Brazil Santos.
