Preparing Turkish Coffee in Sand

At the old times, brazier was a typical device used commonly in Turkish homes. As they were so indispensable, it was believed that person controlling the tongs of the braziers is at the highest level of the home hierarchy. Braziers were used to cook meals, heat up rooms and brew Turkish coffee.

Turkish coffee prepared over a brazier is called “kul kahvesi” in Turkish. It literally means “ash coffee”, since the coffee is brewed with coal ash located in a brazier.

Today, braziers are not common in Turkish homes any more. They are almost forgotten. I have to say finding such brewed coffee is really difficult nowadays. You can drink original kül kahvesi only at a few special restaurants. Or, if you are really lucky, you may meet with Turkish people who keep and use the traditional braziers.

However some people, especially older generations, still believe that coffee brewed over brazier is much better than coffee prepared over stove or with automatic machines. This belief motivated some Turkish companies to produce machines that simulate brazier heat. The logic behind this thinking is actually simple. They fill a metal container with sea sand and warm up the sand with electricity. A traditional coffee pot is placed in the hot sand, and that is all! The heat is gently transferred to the pot; therefore the pot received the same level of heat from all directions. This process allows brewing the coffee a little bit slower, but it is believed it is tastier. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to prepare the coffee.

Maybe, these machines are not perfect substitute of taste of the traditional “kul kahvesi”. But, they offer chance of brewing Turkish coffee in a different and nostalgic way.

Automatic Turkish Coffee Machine (Photo Guide)

You like Turkish coffee... But you don't have time, equipment or just patient to make it by using a pot (cezve)?? Okay, your answer lies on a fully automatic coffee machine! :-)

In recent years different producers have introduced various automatic Turkish coffee makers. I've tried almost all of them. According to my experience, I can highly recommend you the machine which is called Telve and produced by Arcelik. By the way, you can find the same machine under the company name of Beko, it's completely same with Arcelik's Telve. (Telve is produced in Turkey, so it's a 1200 Watts, 220-240 Volt machine. For use in the US, you need a transformer.)

Telve package comes up with a coffee machine, a special pot, and a spoon. The pot is made from silver-painted DuPont Zytel HTN high-performance polyamide.

Actually, there are two different models of Telve. One model has two pots, which makes it possible to prepare two separate brews with different tastes. I use the model with only one pot, called mini Telve. With this model, you can make up to 3 cups of Turkish coffee at one go. If you're not a big family, mini Telve will be enough :) The photo below shows how mini Telve and the pot look like:


How to make Turkish Cofffe by using an automatic coffee machine:
The first thing you've to do is to put your roasted and ground Turkish coffee into the pot. You can use the spoon that came up with the machine. One spoon coffee is enough for per cup. If you don't use the spoon came up with the product, then put 2 teaspoons coffee.

If you want to add sugar, this is the time. How much sugar? It completely depends on your taste. If you're new to Turkish coffee, my suggestion is to use at least two teaspoons of sugar :-)

Next step is to add water. Fill up your Turkish coffee cup (fincan) with cold water and pour into the pot. If you don't have a Turkish coffee cup, don't panic :) You can also use an espresso cup, sake cup or any porcelain cup.

Okay! You've just completed the difficult part! The rest is piece of cake :) Just press the only button the machine has... When you hit the button, you'll see blue light covering the button.


If you're making a cup of coffee, about within one minute your coffee'll be ready to serve! The machine will warn you by playing a melody and also turning off the blue light.

Get the pot and take a look at your delicious Turkish coffee :) Hmmmm!
Excellent! Now, fill your cup with the delicious coffee... But don't forget to wait a little bit (between 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your patience level :). The waiting will let coffee grounds settle down, therefore your coffee'll leave a better taste in your mouth.

This time, I'm serving my Turkish coffee with creme de menthe in a special liqueur glass.


As you'll see, the result is good! The foam quality and taste are really nice. Also, the machine eliminates the trouble of waiting, stirring, and adjusting to achieve the best possible taste. So, I oftenly use my Turkish coffee machine :)

As a result, I definetly recommend this machine.
