Arabic coffee is made from coffee beans roasted very lightly or heavily from 165 to 210 °C (329 to 410 °F) and cardamom, and is a traditional beverage in Arab culture.
Traditionally, it is roasted on the premises (at home or for special occasions), ground, brewed and served in front of guests.
It is often served with dates, dried fruit, candied fruit or nuts.
Arabic coffee is defined by the method of preparation and flavors, rather than the type of roast beans.
Arabic coffee is boiled coffee that is not filtered, made black.
Sugar is not typically added, but if so, it can be added during preparation or when serving.
It is served in a small delicate cup without handles, called finjān.
Sometimes, the coffee is moved to a larger and more beautiful pour pitcher to serve in front of the guests, called Della.
Often, though, the host prepares coffee in the kitchen and highlights a tray of small cups of coffee.
unlike Turkish coffee, traditional Arabic coffee, with its roots in Bedouin tradition, is usually unsweetened (qahwah saada), but sugar can be added depending on the preference of drinker.
However, this coffee is never sweet syrup, but rather strong and bitter.
To make up for the bitter flavor, coffee is usually served with something sweet – dates are a traditional accompaniment – and other desserts are often served along with a tray of coffee cups.
