Ervos

Ervos is a term that refers to a type of traditional Turkish coffee made from finely ground coffee beans. The word "ervos" is derived from the Ottoman Turkish word "ervah," which means "coffee." This beverage is typically prepared using a special type of coffee pot called a cezve, which is a small, cylindrical pot with a lid and a spout. The coffee grounds are placed in the cezve, along with water, and then boiled on a stove or over an open flame. As the water boils, it passes through the coffee grounds, extracting the flavors and oils. The resulting coffee is typically served in small cups, often accompanied by sugar and Turkish delight. Ervos is known for its rich, strong flavor and is an integral part of Turkish culture and hospitality. It is often enjoyed in social settings, such as cafes, homes, and community gatherings. The preparation of ervos is an art form, with skilled baristas taking pride in creating the perfect cup.
