Dallah Coffee

Learn how to brew coffee with traditional Dallah

Are you keen to try traditional Arabic coffee? It is brewed in a dallah, also known as a cezve or ibrik in Turkey, and we’ll cover its origin, features, and what coffee you can expect from this brewer.

Coffee in a dallah is made with finely ground beans and water, without filtering and often mixed with sugar, as well as spices, such as cinnamon, cloves, or cardamom.

It is one of the oldest ways of preparing coffee, widely enjoyed in the Middle East. Arabic coffee dates back to the 1500s and it is prepared with a dallah, a long-handled small pot made from copper or brass. It is then distributed to the small cups, where the coffee powder sinks to the bottom.

This produces a small highly concentrated beverage with a very intense, dark character, frothy texture, and powdered mouthfeel with high caffeine content.
