Turkish Coffee
While Turkey plays a role in the history of coffee, Turkish Coffee has less to do with beans imported from that country. Rather, it is a manner of preparing coffee, regardless of where the beans are from. Turkish Coffee -or depending on the geography, variant names include Oriental, Moorish, Arab, or Greek Coffee- involves boiling the coffee in water.
The Turkish Method Defined
By this method, the coffee is very finely ground, boiled sometimes with sugar. The water and ground coffee is brought to a boil, often up to three times before enough flavor is steeped from the ground coffee. It is poured with the ground coffee in it, which is given time to settle at the bottom of the cup. A coffee drinker unaware that the coffee was prepared in this manner might get a mouthful of grinds towards the end of the drink. You leave the grinds in the cup, but drink as much as you can without swallowing any.
