Historical Mahirefendi Coffee story is made of finely pulverized roasted coffee beans. Roasting degree and duration differ according to taste. In old houses a brass-made hand manupulated coffee mill would be used to pulverize coffee beans. An electrical coffee mill is used instead of brass-coffee mill at present time in many households.
Turkish coffee is served in demitasses made of porcelain. They come in different sizes. However an average demitasse is equal to 1/4 cup in volume. Coffee is served for guest with bon-bon, candy bar or with " Lokum " ( Turkish Delight ) or with chocolate bars. It is served usually during midday or following a lunch or dinner.
