Traditionally, a cup of Turkish coffee is brewed by using a pan filled with sand that's heated over an open flame.[1]
The sand-filled pan allows for total control over the heat. Cups left on the surface stay warm, and the heat used for brewing can be adjusted by the depth of the coffee in the sand.
During the Ottoman empire, as far back as the 1600s, fortune tellers read the future from the grinds left after drinking strong, sweet Turkish coffee. Nowadays, it is just replaced by a "fortune" paper.
Turkish coffee is always served with water: A sip of water will allow the person to clear his or her palate before drinking coffee, making for the best enjoyment
