Mardin Ottoman Coffee
Ottoman coffee or dibek coffee is produced by grinding the roasted coffee beans on a mortar and mixing this coffee with a variety of mildly sweet spices. The mortar is like a large garlic hammer made of stone or wood and is often used for grinding grain and the like.
Ottoman coffee is different from traditional Turkish coffee. For example, while the color of Turkish coffee is dark, the color of Ottoman coffee is lighter due to the spices it contains. While Turkish coffee is produced from very finely ground coffee beans, Ottoman coffee is coarsely ground. Its taste is not as intense as Turkish coffee, it is similar to the taste of milky coffee.
Ottoman coffee is cooked in coffee pots called cezve and served in small coffee cups called fincan.

The Flavor that Slows Down Time
