How to Make Turkish Coffee In Pot

It is very easy to make this coffee in a Turkish coffee pot at home when you follow these easy steps. First, mix coffee and water. Using a teaspoon, mix your finely ground coffee with cold water in a Turkish Coffee pot, gently until well combined.

The ratio for a desired consistency is 1 coffee cup cold water and 2 teaspoons ground coffee. If you want your coffee sweet, add sugar along with coffee and water. Never add it after your coffee is cooked. You always need to ask your guests how sweet they like their coffee. Possible options are as follows:

  • unsweetened (no sugar added)

  • with little sugar (add ½ cube sugar)

  • a bit sweeter (add 1 cube sugar)

  • super sweet (add 2 cubes sugar)

    • The measurement here is for one coffee cup. If you are making coffee for more than one person and everyone has different sugar liking, make their coffee separately.

    Second, place the coffee pot on low heat and let it cook for a while, stirring gently two or three times. When it is right about to boil and foams rise, remove it from heat. Using a teaspoon, share the foams into each Turkish coffee cup. Return to heat and remove when it boils. Pour the coffee into the cups.

    RULES AND ADVICE:


    The coffee should be finely blended, so no chunks dilute the grounds. You can read our blog post about how to make the best Turkish coffee for more details. Feel free to add an extra tablespoon of coffee powder for more grounds to read.

    You shouldn't read your own grounds, as you will probably be biased. You can read your own as practice for visualizing symbols, though. Always start from the cup’s handle. You move from right to left if the person is right-handed or left to right for left-handed.

    CUP PREPARATION:


    Make sure to sip from the same side, and drink it casually. There's no need to rush. Leave a small amount left in the cup, about one sip's worth, and swirl it around so the sediments get loose. Take the final sip, and then make a wish.

    Place the saucer over the top of the cup (face on) to cover it. Make sure that you seal it very well. Hold the coffee cup set with your hands in front of you, chest level. Make 3 horizontal circles clockwise. Your goal is to move the sediment around and evenly spread it around the entire inside surface of the cup. Turn the coffee cup set upside down (flip it) with a quick movement. This action will bring the sediments down to the saucer, leaving the necessary patterns that a coffee reader needs.

    Turkish Coffee Ingredients


    It is a super easy coffee recipe with two or three ingredients. You need:
  • Water
  • Lunaris (ground coffee)
  • Sugar or sweetener, optional

    • READING THE SYMBOLS:


    Reading symbols relies heavily on the reader's interpretation and instinct. If you recognize an image in the cup, what is your gut feeling about it? If it resembles a symbol you know, what is commonly associated with that symbol? Here is a list of common symbols in tasseography, but again - the reading relies heavily on the reader's gut reaction and interpretation. Many people leave the reading feeling good about the future. Whether divination is something you believe in or not, it can be fun and educational to give tasseography a try. Gather up some friends, make some great coffee, and try reading each others' fortunes!
