4. Observe Foam: As the coffee heats, a dark foam will begin to rise. Continue heating until the foam reaches the top of the cezve.

6. Second Boil (Optional): Return the cezve to the heat and bring the coffee to a second boil, allowing the foam to rise again.
7. Pour and Serve: Remove from heat and gently fill each cup with the remaining coffee. Allow the grounds to settle for a moment before serving.

4. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter when preparing Turkish coffee.

• Lack of Foam: Ensure you are using cold water and heating the coffee slowly over medium-low heat. Rapid boiling can prevent foam formation. Avoid stirring after the initial mix.
• Bitter Taste: Over-extraction can lead to bitterness. Ensure you remove the cezve from heat as soon as the foam rises to the top. Avoid re-boiling excessively.
• Weak Flavor: Check the coffee-to-water ratio. For a stronger brew, slightly increase the amount of coffee per cup.
