The first coffee of the Ottoman capital were brought to by Özdemir Pasha, governor of Yemen during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. After mid 1500’s Istanbul became the hub of coffee culture, where Turkish coffee was served in delicate coffee cups following a refined ritual of roasting and grinding. From Istanbul, the habit of coffee, the new passion crossing borders, spread to Europe, then to the rest the world.
