Turkish coffee is not a bean variety. It is a preparation method: very fine coffee, water and controlled heat
in a cezve, served unfiltered with the grounds settling at the bottom of the cup. Beyoğlu Turkish Coffee
begins with 100% single-origin Ethiopian Arabica, roasted in-house to a medium profile and ground very fine
for traditional cezve preparation.
Why Ethiopian Arabica?
Ethiopian Arabica gives the cup a more aromatic and layered base than a neutral commodity blend.
In a Turkish coffee grind, floral, fruity and roasted notes become concentrated because the coffee is
prepared without filtration.
Why very fine grind matters
Turkish coffee needs a much finer grind than filter coffee or espresso. The fine particles help create
body, foam and a dense aromatic cup. Coarse coffee will not behave correctly in a cezve.
Why in-house roasting matters
Roasting controls sweetness, bitterness, acidity and body. A medium roast keeps the coffee aromatic
while still giving the full-bodied character expected from Turkish coffee.
How to brew Beyoğlu Turkish Coffee
- Use one small Turkish coffee cup of cold water per serving.
- Add one full teaspoon of very fine Turkish coffee per serving.
- Add sugar only if desired: unsweetened, medium-sweet or sweet.
- Heat slowly in a cezve and remove before it boils over.
- Serve with foam and let the grounds settle before drinking.
What to serve with Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is traditionally strong, aromatic and unfiltered, so it pairs well with small, concentrated
sweets. Beyoğlu recommends pairing it with lokum rolls, pistachio fitil lokum, tahini halva, nut creams,
layered lokum and classic Turkish delight.
