Turkish Coffee - Kahve
By: Chef floWer
Apr 12, 2007
Growing up with parents who were born in Cyprus (Turkish Speaking). I was basically taught how to make Turkish Coffee which is called Kahve at a young age (well old enough to safely be around flames from the stove). Kahve is traditionally prepared in a small long handled pot narrowing on at the top this is called cazve. Kahve is ideally made one cup at a time and served in a small espresso cup. Measurements for one cup is equal to one espresso size cup about 90 mls/3 oz. There are different varieties of Kahve with four listed below.
1 espresso size cup
Ingredients
Sade means unsweetened
- 1 cup cold water (espresso size cup)
- 1 teaspoon turkish coffee powder
Orta means moderately sweetened
- 1 cup cold water (espresso size cup)
- 1 teaspoon turkish coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Cok Sekerli means very sweet
- 1 cup cold water (espresso size cup)
- 1 teaspoon turkish coffee powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, you may add more if you have a sweet tooth
Orta Sutlu means moderately sweetened made with milk
- 1 cup cold milk (espresso size cup)
- 1 teaspoon turkish coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Directions
1
Place one espresso size cup of cold water or milk (Depending upon the variety chosen from above) into cazve/very small pot.2
Add one teaspoon of powdered Turkish Coffee into the cazve/very small pot.3
Add sugar if desired depending which variety you wish to drink.4
Stir and heat on stove immediately, coffee will rise, remove from heat and add one spoon of froth into serving cup.5
Return pot to heat and cook until coffee rises again. This could be done once or three times in total each time spoon froth into serving cup. Once the three repetitions are complete, add the rest of the coffee from the pot into the serving cup.6
Good kahve has a creamy foam floating on top. (Similar to the crema found atop good espresso coffee but with a great deal more body).7
Do not drink grounds on the bottom of the cup.

I got given some Turkish coffee in a swap so thought that Ortu Sutlu sounded like me, yep I was right. I used skim milk so I didn't get the froth that I should have but this is great tasting coffee. Yum!

I LOVE this coffee! My ex-husband is of Macedonian descent. My dear, sweet (ex)MIL taught me to make this coffee many many years ago. I loved it from the first cup. She always made it very sweet (Cok Sekerli) and so this is the version I made today. I made a cup for myself and my step-daughter and she too now loves this coffee. Thank you so much for posting this simple but delicious coffee.

This is authentic! Easy to follow directions, because the measure is the espresso cup you will ultimately drink from. I have Turkish coffee, finely ground with roasted cardamum, and I was glad to use it with this recipe! Excellent!

Great coffee. I have been intending to try this Turkish coffee for quite awhile now. I even found a place in Regina to get the coffee powder! Wonders never cease. I went with Orta Sutlu and Turkish coffee definatly has it's own personality but it's one I quite like. I was hard pressed not to add a cinnamon stick and a star anise but I wanted to have the first cup "straight". The spice will go into the next one *wink*. I made a double, wheeeeeeeeeee. Thanks floWer. Made for ZWT3
