While coffee drinking has spread around the world, each region and country has its own take on this dark, caffeinated beverage. The Italians gulp fresh espresso down at the bar, while we Americans drink cheap watery coffee by the gallon at the office. There’s also the Starbucks style to consider: drowned in cream with plenty of sugar and lots of added flavors.

Egyptian coffee is a fairly bold take on the traditional cup of joe. While it’s pretty much just coffee and sugar, the unique brewing style gives it a slightly different texture and a very enjoyable taste. It’s not the easiest or fastest way to prepare coffee, but it’s a wonderful treat that you can enjoy alone or with friends.

What Is Egyptian Coffee?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

While people will certainly know what you mean when you say “Egyptian coffee,” there’s no real Egyptian style of coffee that’s exclusive to Egypt. Instead, Egyptian coffee is shared with other nearby countries. It’s often referred to as Turkish coffee in some places. Other countries (especially Eastern Europe) enjoy drinking this style of coffee, but call it by a different name entirely.

Turkish (or Egyptian) coffee is prepared by mixing sugar and very finely ground coffee with hot water. Instead of filtering the resulting beverage, it’s simply allowed to settle for a minute or two before serving. This allows the drinker to enjoy almost the full cup before he or she encounters the coffee grounds.
