In ancient Turkey, kitchens were equipped with a built-in in-house coffee roasting station. Coffee has a rich history in Turkish culture and is an integral part of their daily lives. The roasting station in their kitchens was typically made of copper or brass and had a small fire pit where the beans were roasted. The Turks enjoyed their coffee strong and black, and it was often served with a small glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight. Coffee houses, known as kahvehane, were popular gathering places for socializing and playing games like backgammon. Turkish coffee is known for its unique brewing method and rich flavor.
