100% Must Do - This experience was absolutely fantastic. Our host Aleyna was so welcoming from the very second we walked in. The room itself was really well set up. The presentation on history of Turkish coffee and the traditions were so interesting. Made even better with all of the tools on had that we could touch and see. Making the coffee was so much fun and learning how to read the coffee grounds was so interesting. It’s also unbelievable value for money. An absolute must while in Istanbul.

You will enjoy this workshop - This was the best way to learn how to make Turkish coffee. Merve gave an in depth presentation on the history of coffee in Turkey and how to make it. I found everything I needed to bring home to make it myself. Was a fun experience and she gave a a souvenir coffee cup.

A good experience overall. - The workshop was in an interesting building and room. The presenter was clear and easy to understand. She presented the history of coffee making and drinking in Turkey. I liked that she covered more than history and talked about how coffee is treated today. The fortune telling segment was less interesting and went on far too long. I think this could be shortened and something else take its place. For example we could have learned how Turkish delight is made and why its served with the coffee.
