Everyone knows Turkish coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a ritual, a tradition, and a symbol of hospitality. If you’re searching for things to do in Istanbul that bring you closer to local culture, we invite you into our home for a Turkish coffee experience that’s about much more than just a cup of coffee.
Just as the British have their tea time, Turkish people gather over coffee, turning it into a moment of conversation, connection, and storytelling. We want to share this tradition with you in the most authentic way possible—inside a local home.
We’ll start by introducing you to different types of Turkish coffee, from the classic version to Menengiç, Dibek, Mırra, and Sütlü Türk Kahvesi. Then, we’ll brew them the home-style way, just as our mothers and grandmothers have done for generations. As we sip, we’ll share the fascinating history, customs, and even some unusual coffee traditions from Turkish culture.
And of course, no Turkish coffee session is complete without something sweet, so we’ll enjoy our coffee with Turkish delights or chocolates, just as locals do.
This experience is not about just learning—it’s about feeling like part of the culture. By the time you leave, you’ll not only know how to make real Turkish coffee, but you’ll also take home stories, traditions, and a warm memory of a true Istanbul coffee gathering.
If you’re looking for a unique experience in Istanbul, this is your chance to sip, savor, and feel the city vibe like a local. Come as a guest, leave as a friend!
