Minas Ground Coffee 907g (2lb)

Minas Ground Coffee is a 907g (2lb) Bosnian-heritage finely ground coffee for the dzezva (cezve) — a large-format, full-bodied, finely ground Turkish-style Bosnian coffee blend from Minas, a coffee brand rooted in the Bosnian kahva (coffee) tradition, ground to the ultra-fine consistency required for preparing the traditional Bosnian style of coffee in the copper dzezva over slow stovetop heat. Minas is a Bosnian-heritage coffee brand producing finely ground Turkish-style coffee for the Bosnian, Balkan, and broader Eastern European diaspora market — their ground coffee belongs to the deep and elaborate Bosnian kahva culture, where the preparation and serving of coffee in the traditional dzezva format is among the most important social rituals in Bosnian daily life. Bosnian kahva culture is one of the most rich and ritualistic coffee traditions in the world — the city of Sarajevo was among the first places in Europe to have coffeehouses (kahvehana), and the Bosnian tradition of preparing fine-ground coffee in the dzezva (slowly heating without boiling, carefully preserving the foam known as kajmak) and serving it with a sugar cube and a glass of cold water is as much a cultural ritual as it is a beverage preparation. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons into a cold dzezva with cold water and sugar (optional), heat slowly over low heat until the foam (kajmak) rises without boiling, gently pour to preserve the foam, and serve with a glass of cold water and a sugar cube in the traditional Bosnian kahva ritual as the most hospitable coffee preparation in the Balkan world.
