We arrived a bit earlier than scheduled and were served Turkish tea while waiting, which was such a nice touch. To our surprise, it ended up being just the 2 of us in the workshop! It felt like a private, relaxed session. shout out to Rustam for patiently answering all our questions (we had many lol), while Hussein also joined us. Although it was meant to be 2 hours, we stayed almost 2.5 hours because we were having so much fun. We learned about Turkish coffee history, ground the beans ourselves, tried pistachio coffee (so good I bought some to bring home!), and even enjoyed the fortune-telling session. We also received a small souvenir, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a warm and memorable experience in Istanbul! PS: Rustam, don’t overwork yourself! ⭐️
llham was a great and engaging teacher! We made a cup of Turkish coffee and learned how to read the coffee grounds — such a fun and unique experience. At the end, we even got a small bag of coffee and a cup as a gift. Highly recommended!
I can't recommend this more! It was such an amazing experience, making the coffee and hearing the stories from Zehra was a lot of fun and a great memory, plus we learned a lot about coffee history in general and Turkish coffee culture. The reading at the end couldn't have been more entertaining and so impressive. Do this if you have the chance, i promise it's worth it.
Learning how to make Turkish coffee was so interesting! The part of boiling the coffee in the hot sand was very satisfying.
extremely great experience, the fortune telling part was exict ok no and to the point, coffee making experience was quiet amazing too
It's the best! The facilities are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and all speak English, which is great. Instructor Darren is gentle and amazing. Thanks to him, I learned a lot about coffee ❤️
super enriching experience. facilitator spoke clear English and was very welcoming. the session had its own quaint charm to it and the location was easy to access. Extra brownie points for the souvenirs they provided
Loved the workshop. If you are looking to engage in local experience and understand the culture of the place, this is a must do. Our instructor Ahmet was amazing and shared so many interesting stories along with teaching us the skill.
It was in total a great experience. Got to know about the technique and history associated. Our host David is a great person and very skilled. In total a value for money experience and a must try thing.
Kaya is the the best. She holds the lecture in the BEST way. I think this company should give her a raise. the crazy part is the fortune telling part, she tells a very good background of all of us. but I will suggest if she can offer us suggestion on life would be better. but totally understand that it will then takes too long. so all in all I give this course 100 marks! and I love it. please join it and do it will fortune telling part. you will be amazed!
