From Soliman's Kitchen.
Turkish coffee in Egypt isn't just a drink. It's a daily ritual, the start of morning conversations, and an essential presence in evening gatherings.
But anyone who truly loves coffee knows that without a thick and rich "face" (foam), it's missing the most important thing. And that's why, today,
we're sharing our method at Soliman's for the perfect face... from our kitchen to yours.
What you'll need
The secret to a good face isn't just in the preparation, but in fresh coffee beans and the correct grind from the start.
-2 spoons of Soliman's Turkish coffee (light or dark roast)
-A cup of cold water
-Sugar to taste
-Copper cezve
Step-by-step preparation
“The true secret to Turkish coffee is patience.
High heat rushes the coffee... but ruins the face.”
*From our family recipes at Soliman's
First step
Stir the coffee and sugar with the water before placing the cezve on the heat.
Second step
Place it on the lowest possible heat... and do not stir again.
Third step
As soon as the face starts to rise at the edges, remove the cezve immediately before it boils.
Small details... but important
1. Pour some of the face into the cup first
2. Return the cezve to the heat for two seconds
3. Gently pour the rest from the side
And always remember:
Turkish coffee should not boil... because boiling ruins the face and changes the taste.
Listen to the coffee
Turkish coffee has a distinct sound. A quiet and heavy sound, seconds before the face rises. This particular moment... is the most important moment in the preparation.
