Turkish Coffee - A drink, a tradition, a culture and a question: Is it Turkish or Greek?

There may be nothing more iconic for Turkey than a cup of coffee, served in a tiny cup accompanied with a small glass of water and a cube of lokum.
We were in the heart of the historical peninsula, Eminönü. We wandered among the coffee smells of Eminönü streets and the flavors of the Spice Bazaar. We tasted real coffee and tried many different flavors of Turkish delight. We also learned how to make a real, authentic Turkish coffee.Join us on this delicious tour, as we discover whether this coffee is Turkish or Greek.
Turkish Coffee Recipe :
· 1 cup of water
· 1 teaspoon ground coffee
· up to 3 teaspoons of sugar, optional
Instructions:
1. Mix the coffee and sugar in the cezve, a small pot with a long handle, and bring the coffee to a boil on low heat. The coffee can be brought to a boil on high heat as well, but it is said that a slow increase in heat will better bring out the flavor of the beans. Carefully pour the coffee into a cup and serve.
2. The foam that builds on the coffee is sometimes taken off first into the cup with a spoon and after bringing the coffee to a second boil it is then poured. The sign of an impeccable cup of Turkish Coffee is the foam on top of it.

The word of breakfast in Turkish is “kahvaltı” which is combination of two words, kahve+altı. The translation on kahvaltı would be “pre-coffee” or “before coffee”. The breakfast culture actually came AFTER the coffee culture. People ate in the morning before consuming coffee, and called it kahvaltı (breakfast).

Gercek turkler orada derken??? Sen kendini ne hissediyosan osundur soyunu sopunu bilmiyor olabilirsin veyahut turklerin anadoluda bir medeniyet kurup burada yeni bir kultur ve devlet insa etmeside zoruna gidebilir.anadolunun dort bir yani gelenek kultur kan bagi kisacasi herseyi ile turk kulturunun izlerini tasir.burada elbette farkli kulturlerle alisveris olmus olabilir ancak dili korumak ozunu korumanin en buyuk gostergesidir.oyle bir yazmissin ki sanki ismi turkiye olan ulke de turk yok ve bu ulke baskasina aitmis gibi.ayiptir yahu birde ingilizce yaziyosun.ona bakarsan cikolatanin ve kahvenin anavatani afrika ve guney amerika ulkeleridir buna ragmen isvicre cikolatasi italyan lattesi gibi kavramlar dunyada karsilik bulur.turk kahvesi demek zoruna gitmesin bu kadar

There is no turkish coffe.
İs Arab cofee.
Ottoman was stolen from Arabs.
I dont know about greek.
Central Asian turks and Russian turks dont have same cofe.
IT S ARABIC COFEE.

[@tawreos66]

ottoman met coffee in 16th century in yemen but techniques are different. arabic coffe is with light roasted beans, turkish coffe is made by a mixture of medium/dark coffee bean mixture. even in most arab countries turkish coffe is more preferred.
in general, ottoman cuisine refined every cuisine existed in the region including coffe, baklava etc

History. In 1543, Yemen Governor Özdemir Pasha brought coffee, which he admired, to Istanbul. Thanks to the brand new preparation method invented by the Turks, coffee was cooked in pots and coffee pots and took the name Turkish Coffee.
Italians with espresso technique
Just as the Americans make Americano with their own techniques, Turks developed it by using their own techniques and adapting it to their tastes.
it's not called stealing
After all, coffee reflects everyone's own culture.
cooking technique is different in every culture

​@@clmky5485exactly, there's Turkish coffee like Italian coffee but that doesn't mean coffee is a Turkish invention. And ottoman is not Turkish just like Byzantine is not Greek. The sultanahmed cami is ottoman but is built by a Greek
