The traditional preparation of Turkish coffee involves a meticulous process that starts with the selection and grinding of high-quality coffee beans to ensure the perfect fineness. However, what makes the experience truly exceptional is the method of brewing the coffee on sand. In Cappadocia, specially designed sand-heated copper pots known as "cezve" are filled with water, coffee, and sugar, and placed on heated sand. This method allows for gentle and controlled heat distribution, enhancing the flavors and aromas of the coffee. With the pot nestled in the warm sand, it gradually reaches the desired temperature, resulting in a rich, flavorful brew.
For visitors to Cappadocia, indulging in this unique experience is an extraordinary opportunity to immerse oneself in the customs, traditions, and flavors that make Turkey such a delightfully diverse destination.

Lots of fun! Murat, our host, was very sweet and made the experience more like coffee with a friend than someone we just met. Also, the cookies served with the Turkish coffee are made in house, and are fabulous.

This was such a cute and intimate workshop! Ozan and Filiz were the nicest hosts, they were teaching us about the traditions of Turkish coffee and a little on the history of Turkey itself
Whilst we waited for the sand machine to heat up, they gave us little bites and Turkish tea, which Filiz actually baked herself!
We really enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this - especially for a first time experience trying Turkish coffee overall!
Ozan also was super helpful when we asked him for other things to do in Cappadocia and places to eat
Generally a really lovely experience :)

It was a short workshop but definitely worth it! Murat have us a detailed explanation on how to prepare the Turkish coffee along with a very nice conversation about other topics related to Göreme and Kappadokya. We also got some home-baked cookies and a slice of cake as well as some Turkish tee, which really rounded up the whole workshop!

The activity was great! In a great restaurant, we first enjoyed Turkish tea and pastries made by the staff in a small group, then we made our own coffee and prepared it ourselves. Our guide Ozan told us a lot about the culture and at the end we were able to enjoy our prepared coffee with Turkish delights. A great experience from the start! We'd love to do it again!
