Organic Turkish Coffee: What It Is, Dibek Grind and How to Brew It

Organic Turkish coffee is finely ground coffee from organically grown beans, brewed slowly in a small pot called a cezve. If you are looking for an authentic cup with a smooth body and a thick foam, this guide explains what makes organic Turkish coffee special, how dibek grinding works, and how to brew it at home.

What is organic Turkish coffee?

Organic Turkish coffee uses beans grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, then roasted and ground to a powder-fine texture. Unlike filter coffee, the grounds stay in the cup, which gives Turkish coffee its full-bodied character.

What is dibek coffee?

Dibek coffee is coffee pounded in a traditional stone mortar (dibek). The slow, cool grinding keeps the aroma intact and creates a soft, aromatic texture. Our Anatolian organic Turkish coffee, dibek, medium roast, 100 g is made in this style from 100% organic beans.

How to brew organic Turkish coffee

1. Use one heaped teaspoon (about 7 g) of coffee and one small coffee cup of cold water per serving.
2. Add water and coffee to the cezve and stir once.
3. Heat slowly on low heat without stirring again.
4. When the foam rises, remove the cezve from heat, divide the foam into the cups and return briefly to heat.
5. Pour gently and let the grounds settle for a minute.

Which equipment do you need?

A copper cezve on the stove works well, and a sand coffee machine gives even heat for a perfectly foamy cup. Browse our sand coffee machines and coffee cup sets.
