Easy Bosnian Coffee (Bosanska Kafa) Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Finely ground coffee beans (Bosnian or Turkish coffee blend)
• Cold brew water
• Sugar (optional)

Tools for Bosnian coffee:

• Bosnian coffee pot (džezva) or Electric Turkish coffee maker (more on this later)
• Demitasse cups

Step-by-Step Bosnian Coffee Guide:

1. Measure and Add Coffee: Use one heaping teaspoon of finely ground coffee for each cup you plan to serve. Adjust the amount of coffee to suit your taste for strength.
2. Add Water and Sugar (If Desired): Pour cold brew water into the coffee pot (džezva) or electric Turkish coffee maker, filling it to the desired level for the number of cups you're making. Add sugar to taste, if you prefer your coffee sweet.
3. Slow and Steady Heat: Place the coffee pot on low heat. The key to Bosnian coffee is the slow brewing process. Allow it to heat gradually, but don't let it boil. If using the Saki Turkish Coffee Maker, simply turn it on.
4. Froth It Up: Just before it reaches boiling water point, you'll notice a frothy layer forming on top. This is called "kaimak" and is a sign of a well-brewed Bosnian coffee. Remove it with a spoon and set it aside. The Saki maker automates the brew time and naturally produces foam, so there is no need to set it aside.
5. Pour and Enjoy: Once the coffee is ready pour the coffee into cups slowly, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom. Top each cup with a bit of the saved kaimak. Don’t forget a coffee without a foam on top is not a Bosnian coffee at all!
