FAQ About Turkish Coffee

Measuring the right amount of coffee grounds and water is important for achieving the desired strength and flavor of Turkish coffee. The following are general guidelines for measuring coffee grounds and water for Turkish coffee:

Coffee Grounds:

• A common ratio is about 1 heaping teaspoon (around 5-7 grams) of finely ground coffee per serving (one small cup) of Turkish coffee.
• Adjust the amount according to your personal taste preferences. You can start with this ratio and then tweak it based on how strong you like your coffee.

Water:

• Measure about 1 cup (approximately 240 ml) of cold water for each serving of Turkish coffee.
• The use of cold water at the beginning of the brewing process is a key aspect of Turkish coffee preparation.

Sugar and Cardamom (Optional):

• If you prefer your Turkish coffee sweetened, you can add sugar to taste. Traditionally, about 1-2 teaspoons of sugar per serving can be added during the brewing process.
• Similarly, if you like the flavor of cardamom, a pinch of ground cardamom can be added to the coffee grounds and water mixture.
