Turkish coffee is usually served to guests, together with slatko or baklava, with icy water on the side. The traditional way to drink Turkish coffee is with a guest, accompanying a long conversation. The guest is served three coffees: the first one is the welcome coffee, namely the ozguldum coffee, the second one is the coffee to accompany the conversation, called the muabet coffee, and the last one is called the farewell coffee, or the sikter coffee.
