How To Make The Best Arabic Coffee At Home

Have you ever tried Arabic Coffee known as qahwa? It's a velvety and flavourful preparation that really allows the flavour of the beans to shine. Coffee has been drank in the Middle East since the 15th century and it remains practically unchanged to this day! I'm going to show you all the arabic coffee ingredients, and how to make qahwa.

As a Pediatric home care nurse I had the pleasure of caring for a young Palestinian boy for a few years. The family was warm and welcoming and offered me many traditional foods to try. One of those things was arabic/turkish coffee. This was in Ann Arbor Michigan just a few miles from Dearborn which has one of the largest Arabic populations outside the Middle East so fresh foods were plentiful. I didn't know the proper way to drink it at first but learned quickly that it needs to be sipped. I think they may have done it slightly different as there was always a sludge at the bottom that I learned to leave there. I still love to get that coffee whenever I can but now we live down south so it's harder. Thank you so much for this video as now I can start making my own!

[@user-cw5py2yb3c]

Arabic/Turkish coffee.. what a confusing thing to many even for some Arab.. for some Arab call the green coffee (made by not roasted coffee beans ) THE ARABIC COFFEE. still other call it just green coffee

[@mohammadshahade8753]

[@davidfuller581]

Admittedly this is made more confusing by the bit where the species of coffee tree that most coffee comes from is Coffea arabica.​@@user-cw5py2yb3c

[@chucktaylor4958]

Coffee is universal and a breaker of barriers.

[@josephwilliams1915]

Haha, that silt at the bottom is the best part! If you stir the coffee before each sip, it makes the coffee have a very silky feel to it. My uncle spent a lot of time in the middle east in the military, and he exusively only drinks arabic/turkish coffee now.

[@jazzynotjeff]

Coffee Roasting 101: You don't have to guess when the coffee reaches the right roast level by color. There are 2 auditory signals called first and second crack. If you are roasting properly, the inside of the bean will roast and not just the exterior, and in 5-15 min you'll start hearing a noticeable cracking/popping sound (first crack), similar to popcorn, and the beans will have swelled a bit, many having spread at the seam. This is a light roast. From there, the beans continue to roast until "second crack", which will sound more like a campfire, or burning pine needles, and this will indicate a dark roast. Those are your goal posts. Anything before first crack or after second is essentially undrinkable and may either do damage to your grinder or will taste of charcoal. You want to get all the chaff off of your beans or you'll get off flavors. Lastly, allow the beans to off-gas CO2 for a few days and the result will begin to smell nuttier and more chocolatey, and you'll end up with a less bitter cup. Love your channel though. Great food recipes. Hope this helps!

[@MiddleEats]

So I was aiming for after first crack before second crack, but I never heard the first crack. I only heard the second one, and it was already too dark at that point. Even then the second crack was quite low in sound. I guess I need to listen better next time.

[@jazzynotjeff]

@@MiddleEats The pace of the roast can make a difference. If this is something you'd want to keep doing, try different levels of heat. I believe you said it took you about 30 min, so it's possible the heat was too low or just inconsistent, so the cracks were quieter. Either way, I appreciate you demonstrating some coffee roasting in your vid. Everyone should try it out. We can always improve with practice.

[@hugitkissitloveit8640]

Thanks for this!

[@ryanledoux366]

@@MiddleEats my recommendation is to roast the beans in the oven. I’ve done it a few times this way, although never middle eastern style roast. You put the beans on a pan in the oven on max temp and stir/shimmy them around every 20 seconds or so

[@samsinite100]

@@MiddleEats A good (older) hot air popcorn popper can work really well for coffee roasting as well, but it is harder to hear the cracks; stove-top definitely works, it just requires a constant stir at high heat, you want an even roast. I eventually moved onto a Behmor drum roaster to get a more event roast, and won't go back, it is just too easy, though I still have to listen to the cracks. You'll want a good espresso level grinder to get the fine grind you are looking for, maybe something like the Sette 30, which is a very good grinder, but an electric espresso grinder is NOT cheap, I doubt you'll find a suitable one for under $150. If you are into coffee made from a find grind, it is definitely worth the money in the long run, you'll get much better coffee home roasting and grinding, and it so much cheaper. I had a co-worker from Syria that loved a specific middle eastern style of making coffee, I'm guessing it was qahwa. Maybe I'll give this method a try sometime, though I definitely am not interested in adding spices, does it turn out well without any spices?

[@JazenValencia]

First time I tried coffee was at 7 years old. My grandfather made this. No cream no sugar. I didn't try coffee again till high school. My Grandfather had a framed picture with an old saying on it. "Coffee should be Blacker than night, sweeter than love, and stronger than death."

Whilst working as barista we became friends with several arabic customers who would visit regularly. After bring a freshly brewed in thermos for us to try, they proceeded to bring us a little kit of all the ingredients required for qawa, including the pot! The Saudi version appears to have ground cardamom, ground cloves, and saffron. Delicious earthy yet aromatic coffee. And some of the most hospitable people I've ever met!

Turks aren't Arabs

[@marspower1288]

In Palestine we add cardamom and sometimes even 7awayej (but that's more of a Yemeni thing I believe), and often we actually use a dark roast and a slightly coarser grind which gives it the split texture and bitter-acidic taste that you are trying to avoid lol, let the coffee sit for a minute so the particles settle on the bottom and you have a very intense, hard hitting and concentrated cup of black coffee. I personally prefer mocha pot but it's nice to have a traditional qahwe every once in a while, especially alongside some baqlawa and kanafa - a truly unbeatable combo! I will definitely try the Egyptian version though, looks delicious❤❤

[@MiddleEats]

The hawayej coffee is interesting, I learnt about it in an Instagram story. I have tried it yet but I will soon. The lighter the roast of a bean, the higher the caffeine it contains. I'd say the darker roast is more bitter but less caffeinated.

[@maddatheist7254]

Same in Syria

[@israteeg752]

A few hacks if I may: If you don't have access to Arab\Greek\Turkish Coffee in your region it might be best to purchase single origin Ethiopian or Colombian mid to dark roast . Second, if using a blade grinder pulse it, stop, shake, repeat the process about 10 times and you should end up with finely grinned coffee.

In my country we make this type of coffee by first getting the water to a boil, then removing the tava from heat, then adding coffee (same 2 teaspoons per cup), mixing it, then returning it to heat to let it rise (but not boil). I will try the egiptian way though to see what's the difference in taste (although our way is certainly less stresfull because you can miss the water starting the boil and no big deal, and once you return the tava to heat, the coffee almost immediately rises so there's no long period of time you have to watch the brew)

Yes, roast your own at home. I've done it for years now. It's very satisfying. A 30-40 minute roast might be a bit too slow though. And you really want to make sure that you move everything constantly to prevent surface scorching. The batch you made may have been a little too large for that pan, in fact. Finally, as Joseph A rightly pointed out, you want to make sure the coffee has gone through first crack. I don't recommend you bring it all the way to second crack for Arabic coffee though -- just make sure you roast it all the way through the last audible pops of first crack.

You can get a dedicated hand grinder that produces fine enough grounds for relatively cheaply, although it takes some elbow grease! The one I have is brass and has really pretty decorations on the outside. It's not adjustable, so arabic/turkish grind is all it does, but it does a good job with it. Spending a bit more, you can also pick up a high-quality adjustable hand grinder that can do anything from arabic coffee to french press. I mostly make pourovers, so a much coarser grind, but the hand grinder I use daily can also go fine enough for this style.

Thanks so much for covering this. This was a point of frustration for me, and now that I have a great visual, I realise what the issue was. I used to roast with the Nuvo Eco Ceramic Handy Roaster, mostly covered on top so you can swirl it and get a more even roast.

Oh god, I bought one of those. Tried to use it but I got scared of the incredibly hot beans. I'll have to try it again.

I first tried this in Qatar...I was hooked, great coffee. Not an everyday thing for me by any means, but I thought of it like a favorite dessert.

I used to live across the street from a shawarma restaurant, I went there every day for the coffee.

This is not Arabic coffee, it is Turkish coffee, but most of the Arab peoples who consume this type of coffee are Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, but the original Arabic coffee is roasted in a light color (blonde) and cardamom is added, and some of them add cloves or saffron.

Turkish coffee is one of my favorite preparations; it ties with French Press for results in my book.

I bought and restored an antique brass, Turkish-made Ottoman grinder from eBay. They are expensive and take several minutes to grind, which to me is a fair trade-off for a durable, very beautiful grinder capable of creating a super fine grind perfect for this technique. Many have adjustment screws for french-press lovers who want a coarse grind, and all are easy to operate and maintain. Thank you for this content! Modification: unlike electric grinders with mincing blades, these grinders use a burr to crack and crush the bean, which more effectively brings out the flavorful oils inside.
