Description

Don’t just drink Turkish coffee — become part of the ritual. In this hands-on workshop in Istanbul, you’ll grind your own coffee beans with a traditional hand mill, brew Turkish coffee on hot sand in a copper cezve, and learn the cultural meaning behind every step. Located between Galataport and Galata Tower, this experience brings together taste, storytelling, and local tradition in a warm atelier atmosphere. You’ll also discover the UNESCO-recognized Turkish coffee tradition, enjoy Turkish delight with your freshly brewed coffee, taste caffeine-free menengic coffee with its unique nutty flavor, and join a fun coffee cup reading ritual after your drink. Guided in English, Turkish, or Russian, this relaxed cultural experience is perfect for travelers who want more than a simple coffee tasting.
