WITH CEZVE

It only takes two minutes to prepare Turkish Coffee. Mehmet Efendi’s original finely ground Turkish Coffee is traditionally prepared in a “cezve”, a small long-handled pot.

1)Use a coffee cup to measure drinking water, and put it in the cezve.

1
2)Add one teaspoon coffee per cup (6 g) and sugar if needed.

2
3)Heat slowly, stirring well, until the coffee stars to foam.

3
4)Gently pour a little of the foam into each cup.

4
5)Bring the coffee to another boil, and gently fill each cup.

6)It is customary to serve Turkish Coffee with a glass of water. The water prepares the mouth for the coffee’s flavor.

Another method of brewing Turkish Coffee involves using a specially designed coffee machine.

1
2)Place the filter in the filter basket of the coffee maker.
3)Add 7–8 grams of coffee per person to the filter If you like your coffee strong, add 9 grams of coffee per person.

POUR OVER

1)Boil at least 600 grams of water.

1
2)Place the filter in the dripper.

2
3)Slightly moisten the filter.

3
4)After waiting for a short period, add 30 grams (roughly three tablespoons) of coarsely ground coffee to the filter and level the surface.
Place the dripper on a glass carafe, place the entire set up on a digital scale and zero it.

4
5)Four pours are required to prepare the coffee. The first pour introduces the coffee grounds to water. Starting from the outside edge, begin pouring in a circular fashion toward the center of the grounds. When the scale reads 60 grams, stop pouring and make sure that all the coffee grounds are fully saturated. The pour should last 30 seconds. Wait another 30 seconds before starting the second pour.

5

Pour hot water in a circular motion, starting from the center and rotating out towards the edges and then back into the center. Adding 90 grams of water, you should reach 150 grams. This process more evenly distributes water among the grounds. Wait for 50 - 60 seconds after this step.

After the second pour, while the coffee and water mix drips through the filter, when the water sinks to the level of the coffee, pour an additional 100 grams of water. This should last 15 - 20 seconds and the total amount of water poured should reach 250 grams.

In the fourth and final step, pour 100 grams of water in 20 seconds. Having poured a total of 350 grams of water over the coffee grounds, your coffee is now ready.

PRESS POT

1)Boil 350 grams of water.

1
2)Add 30 grams of coffee to the glass apparatus. Pour twice as much water as coffee (60 grams) over the grounds.

2
3)Gently mix the grounds using a paddle or butter knife. Allow the coffee to bloom in the water for 30 seconds.

3
4)Pour in the remaining water and cover the apparatus. Let the coffee steep for four minutes.

4
5)After steeping for four minutes, gently press down the filter. Serve the coffee immediately after depressing the filter, as this will keep the coffee from becoming bitter.

MOCA POT

1)Fill the lower portion of the Moka Pot with drinking water.

1
2)Pour 18–20 grams of espresso ground coffee into the filter portion of the Moka Pot and shake gently to distribute evenly.

2
3)Place the filter basket filled with coffee on top of the lower portion of the Moka Pot.

3
4)Place the Moka Pot on the stove over medium heat.

4
5)The pressure created when the water in the bottom portion of the pot boils will gradually push coffee through the grounds and into the upper portion of the pot.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Always use clean drinking water. Chemicals in tap water such as chlorine affect the flavour of the coffee.
Always use high quality, freshly roasted Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi coffee that is ground and packaged immediately after roasting.
Brew the coffee when you need it using the amount you require. If the coffee is allowed to sit too long after brewing, it will cool and lose its aroma.
Always store the coffee in a sealed container.
If you store your coffee in a jar or other such container after purchase:
– Always make sure the container is kept clean.
– Do not add new coffee to the container until the original coffee has been finished.
– Do not use a wet or damp spoon when dipping into the jar.
Always make sure your coffeepots are clean.
Do not use soap or detergent on your coffeepots. If you have to use detergent, make sure to thoroughly rinse the coffeepots with fresh water, making sure that no traces of cleaning products remain. Any traces will affect the coffee´s aroma and taste.
Try to use unscented soap when cleaning coffee cups and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
If you use a machine to prepare your coffee, be sure to follow all the cleaning instructions found in the product´s manual.
