How to Drink Bosnian Coffee

Understanding the proper steps to drinking traditional Bosnian coffee will make the experience a lot simpler (and tastier).

The coffee will be served on a metal tray, with a coffeepot, a small cup, and a glass of water. If you order it sa mlijekom (with milk), there will be a small cup of milk on the tray as well. There will generally be several lumps of sugar on the tray, and perhaps a piece of rahatlokum, similar to Turkish delight.

To begin, pick up the spoon and stir the top of the coffee in the coffeepot until it changes to a light brown color. Only then should you pour it slowly into your cup. You have several options at this point. You can drop in a lump or two of sugar, add milk, or simply drink it straight. Bosnians generally put the sugar cube on a spoon, dip it into the coffee, and eat it. If the cup is resting in a copper holder, leave this on the table—simply lift the porcelain cup out of the holder.

Drink slowly. It’s strong stuff, and you’re supposed to linger over your cup. When you finish, there is generally enough in the pot to pour another half cup or so. Be careful when pouring a second cup, as the bottom of the coffeepot will be full of coffee grounds. Enjoy!
