Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop Reviews

Bünyamin is passionate about Turkish coffee and his family’s experience around it. He presented the information in a personalized and organized way that made it fun! The hands on making of the coffee and fortune telling were excellent. Then you leave with a set to brew your own at homeless! What could be better! I highly recommend this experience for anyone. You won’t regret it.

You must experience this workshop. Bunyamin explains the art of making turkish coffee really well. The studio and the cafe are very tastefully designed as well.

It’s a fun experience, benjamin is a really nice storyteller and knows a lot about turkish coffee culture. It was equal parts informative and casual. We loved the experience!

It was an amazing experience.

Our host was really kind and took the time to give us a detailed history on how Turkish coffee came to be. Really enjoyed it and made new friends!

Very nice experience - Bunyamin shared many interesting facts about the history of coffee in Turkey, but also his personal coffee related memories. We learned how to make a coffee and also got a chance to taste some different specialty coffees at the place. We also got very nice gifts at the end!

This workshop was very informative. The presentation was thoughtful and the host was personable. Well structured and great coffee.

我是獨自參與這課程，由地鐵站到課程地點，不算太遠，沿途亦有不同店舖可逛或休息。咖啡店裝潢時尚，亦有自成一角的空間舉辦課程，感覺舒適。導師授課非常有趣幽默，沒有悶場，即使我單獨參加，亦覺得氣氛很好。知識層面上亦達到我的期望，是一個愉快的體驗。而課程最後，會派發一套工具沖煮土耳其咖啡及一張證書😂我回家後，也有用這套工具沖煮土耳其咖啡👍🏾

Detailed stories, and interactive host.

Great event, Benjamin is a great communicator and his enthusiasm for the subject really comes across in this event!

Amazing storytelling! You think you know a lot about coffee until you hear Bunyamin teach you the amusing history of coffee. He’s been a school teacher as well and it shows. He communicates in a clear, informative, and fun way!

Fun and informative experience to learn more about the history and art of Turkish coffee.

He welcomed us with warm hospitality and made us feel right at home. He had a deep knowledge of Turkish coffee and its cultural significance, and he was eager to share his expertise with us. He started the workshop by explaining the history and tradition behind Turkish coffee.The workshop itself was well-structured and engaging. Bunyamin demonstrated the traditional process of preparing Turkish coffee, from grinding the beans to brewing the perfect cup. He explained the importance of the specific techniques involved, such as using a cezve (a small pot) and achieving the desired foam on top. We all had the opportunity to practice these techniques under his guidance, which made the experience even more immersive.The highlight of the workshop was undoubtedly the fortune telling aspect. After enjoying our freshly brewed Turkish coffees, Bunyamin showed us how to interpret the patterns left behind in the cup. His explanations were detailed and insightful. It was a fascinating glimpse into the world of fortune telling and a memorable way to conclude the workshop.What set Bunyamin's experience apart was his genuine passion for Turkish coffee and fortune telling. He went above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the workshop.

Bunyamin's expertise, warm hospitality, and genuine passion make this experience truly special. I left the workshop with a newfound appreciation for Turkish coffee and an eagerness to continue exploring its rich traditions.

Quest’esperienza è una delle migliori che si possono fare in Turchia. È stato bellissimo poter conoscere la cultura turca legata al caffè e quella delle persone del gruppo. Lo considero un momento di arricchimento personale molto importante. Bunyamin è un host fantastico: preciso, puntuale, gentile, sempre attento e molto simpatico. Ci ha raccontato qualche aneddoto personale molto bello. Il luogo dell’esperienza è molto carino e tranquillo, ottimo per poter poi fare un giro nella parte asiatica di Istanbul. Il caffè era delizioso e l’esperienza unica. Inoltre alla fine Bunyamin ci ha regalato un set per preparare il caffè a casa, veramente un’idea carinissima. Lo consiglio a tutti, sia per l’esperienza in sè sia per Bunyamin che la rende ancora più speciale!

Bunyamin was friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent explainer of all things Turkish coffee! Definitely recommend.

Fun experience

Learning about turkey’s history with coffee as well as the process was a wonderful experience with friends. Benjy was an excellent guide and wonderful teacher

I’m so happy we did this, it was such a nice authentic experience and Bunyamin did such a great job in telling us the story of coffee culture in Turkey. He has some funny anecdotes which we loved. I definitely recommend doing this In Turkey, it was a highlight of our trip for sure.

Bunyamin is a great storyteller, and it's a special experience. I learnt more about coffee in that hour, than most of the previous similar tours I've been on. He's also a great English speaker (like a native) and makes it easy and comfortable for groups to mingle and get to know each other. One of the more unique opportunities in Istanbul - worth worth a visit.

My friends and I had a great time at the coffee workshop. The host is really fun and friendly and we learned a lot. The location is also in a more local area and it was so nice to walk around there afterwards to get away from the the more crowded and busy areas. I highly recommend this experience!

Had a great time and was able to walk for the first time in Asia!

I was quite pleased with the experience. The history and cultural presentation at the beginning was really insightful. It gave me a new perspective on how significant coffee is in the fabric of Turkish society, and the presenter was knowledgeable, making the information easy to understand.The hands-on brewing process was enjoyable and unique. While grinding the beans and using the traditional cezve, I felt a deeper connection to the Turkish coffee-making tradition. Although I would have loved to learn more about the intricate techniques involved, it was still a great experience for a beginner.The coffee conversation and fortune-telling segment added a touch of fun to the session. While the fortune-telling part might not resonate with everyone, I found it interesting and quirky, adding to the authentic feel of the workshop.The Turkish Coffee Making Set we received as a keepsake was beautifully crafted and will surely be a great reminder of this cultural journey.
