Which Coffee Are You?
Coffee personality
Turkish Coffee
One cup, three hours, a dozen stories.
Turkish coffee is very finely ground coffee simmered in a small pot and served unfiltered, and as a personality it's the storyteller: slow, hospitable and the reason one coffee turns into an afternoon.
It's you if…
- “Just one coffee” with you has never lasted less than two hours.
- You remember everyone's family news and ask about it.
- Guests at your place never leave hungry — or early.
The surprise
Turkish Coffees are excellent listeners. The best storyteller at the table is usually the one who heard everyone else's story first.

Turkish coffee is ground to a fine powder, simmered with water — and sugar, if you like — in a small pot called a cezve, and poured with its foam and grounds into a small cup, usually with a glass of water. UNESCO added Turkish coffee culture and tradition to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013, describing it as a symbol of hospitality and friendship.
