What to expect
Cappadocia in central Turkey is famous for its dramatic landscapes and rich cultural heritage, including the traditional Turkish Coffee on Sand workshop. Turkish coffee, introduced to the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, has long symbolized hospitality and social connection. In this experience, high-quality coffee beans are finely ground before being brewed in a small copper pot called a cezve. The pot is placed on heated sand, allowing gentle and even heat distribution that slowly brings out the coffee’s rich aroma and flavor. This sand-brewing method creates a distinctive preparation process. Visitors gain a hands-on cultural experience, learning traditions while enjoying an authentic and flavorful cup of Turkish coffee in Cappadocia.





Reviews
Teacher Auger is very humorous. He first gave us Turkish black tea and biscuits, then began to teach us how to make Turkish coffee. He then asked us to make it ourselves and asked us to wear Ottoman Turkish costumes to make coffee and then film the video. The whole process was very interesting and novel.
Mr. Haroon was very kind and explained everything carefully, even sharing jokes in Japanese. He spoke slowly so that I, someone not very proficient in English, could understand, and I really enjoyed learning about history. He also took many photos and videos for me, and I got to experience wearing traditional ethnic clothing. Even though I was traveling alone, I had a truly wonderful time. It was such a great experience that I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cappadocia. Thank you very much.
It was a wonderful Turkish coffee experience! The atmosphere was fantastic, as you could experience it in a cave-like room underground, dressed in traditional Turkish costumes. The instructor carefully explained the history and characteristics of Turkish coffee, and their occasional Japanese phrases were quite amusing! We were able to take many photos, and the staff actively helped us take them, so we made some lovely memories. And best of all, the Turkish coffee I made myself was exceptionally delicious! It was a wonderful experience where I not only drank a cup but also enjoyed Turkish culture by making and drinking it myself. I think even Japanese people would be very satisfied!
THE COFFEE WORKSHOP WITH HAROON WAS REALLY INTERESTING AND FUN. IT WAS GOOD TO TELL ME ABOUT THE HISTORY OF COFFEE IN TURKEY AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE COFFEE BY MYSELF IN TRADITIONAL CLOTHES. THE COFFEE TASTED GREAT AND THE TURKISH DELIGHT WE HAD TOGETHER GO WELL WITH COFFEE. IT WAS A SHORT TIME, BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT WITH A SMILE:)
I applied because I thought it would be a memorable experience. I was a little awkward being the only one in my time slot, but a young man named Elham kindly, easily, and funnily taught me how to make coffee, so I really enjoyed the experience. It's a 30-minute experience, so I recommend signing up and going either before or after you visit the Cappadocia viewpoint!
Tutor speaks English very well and share many history and culture about turkish coffee with me.
Great experience for the workshops. The guide was really helpful and always giving us treat! such a good memories to spend in Cappadocia
Kubi is a good coffee instructor He explained it in such a pleasant and relaxed way that he didn't lose his smile at every moment. And at some point, I turned around and found that I was already enjoying tea time with my conversation by making Turkish sand coffee with my own hands, dressed in special clothes. It was a very relaxing and pleasant time. And he eagerly took videos and photos with his iPhone and sent them to me. I recommend this class to anyone who is happy with it and loves coffee and wants a special experience.
I joined the Turkish coffee class and it was such a meaningful and enjoyable experience. The instructor explained the history and culture behind Turkish coffee, which made the whole process feel very authentic
A truly wonderful experience! I learned so much about the history of Turkish coffee and many Turkish stories. I highly recommend everyone come and experience it for themselves.
