About the author : Anatolia
A UNESCO-listed cultural tradition, brewed one cup at a time, and 79 CZK in the centre of Prague.
What is Turkish coffee?
Turkish coffee is made from beans ground to a powder finer than espresso — fine enough to feel like flour — and brewed slowly in a small long-handled pot called a cezve. It is never filtered. The grounds settle in the bottom of the cup, which is why you drink it slowly and stop before the last mouthful. Sugar goes in during brewing rather than afterwards, so you order by sweetness: sade (none), az şekerli (a little), orta (medium) or şekerli (sweet). UNESCO added Turkish coffee culture to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013 — not the drink, the culture around it.
How we prepare it at Anatolia Grill
We brew each cup individually in a cezve, so it takes a few minutes and arrives with the foam on top intact. Tell your server how sweet you want it when you order, because it cannot be adjusted afterwards. 79 CZK, served with water. It is the traditional partner to baklava and künefe, and the bitterness is deliberate.
