It is a highly concentrated coffee that is not for light coffee drinkers. It has a sharp taste, thick consistency, and powerful aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coffee grounds have a powder-like consistency. This is because of the special brewing method you use to make Armenian coffee, which will be further explained in the recipe instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most unique part of Armenian coffee is that you drink the coffee with the grounds in the cup. Because of this, there is no other way to drink it than by sipping slowly, which forces you to take time to enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar and cardamom are often combined with coffee to enhance the coffee\u2019s flavor, but what you use will depend on your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Armenian Coffee: Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the step-by-step guide you&#8217;ve been waiting for to create a delicious cup of Armenian coffee that will transport you to the bustling streets of Yerevan.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-72bea0c7\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-500c0605\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-0bf24228\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-0bf24228\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Ingredients needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Henrys-Coffee-Armenian-Limited-Ground\/dp\/B08R5DPFTG?keywords=armenian%2Bcoffee&amp;qid=1681308857&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExN05POTYzM1BMNlpXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODk1MjczM0g3TFVHUzZUSkg3WSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjEwMDEwMktUVElRM0NLVEUxTyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=brewedcaffein-20&amp;linkId=90f8e8dbb275f69bd2a72be826be0b8d&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Armenian coffee<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sugar (If desired)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardamom (If desired)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-cf99edf8\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-cf99edf8\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Equipment needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/YDB-Copper-2021-KDA-Armenian-Thickest\/dp\/B08L1B9Y51?keywords=armenian%2Bcoffee%2Bpot&amp;qid=1681309129&amp;sprefix=armenian%2B%2Caps%2C113&amp;sr=8-3&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=brewedcaffein-20&amp;linkId=614b25ccedf2d51083da4aeffccf2913&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Armenian coffee pot<\/a>&nbsp;(Jazva)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teaspoon for measuring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Espresso-Saucers-Turkish-Demitasse-Senwako\/dp\/B09JNT8P3H?keywords=armenian+coffee+cup+set&amp;qid=1681309774&amp;sprefix=armenian+coff%2Caps%2C111&amp;sr=8-50&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=brewedcaffein-20&amp;linkId=fd03fe4944b35817c6bee29cdc96b2b5&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Demitasse cups<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>1. Add coffee grounds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will use&nbsp;<strong>one heaping teaspoon&nbsp;<\/strong>of coffee grounds for&nbsp;<strong>every four ounces of water<\/strong>, which will equal two demitasse cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>2. Add Sugar and Cardamom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using sugar, now is the time to add it. Add&nbsp;<strong>\u00bd teaspoon of sugar&nbsp;<\/strong>to the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may need to adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste. If it is too sweet, try \u00bc teaspoon. If it is not sweet enough, add one teaspoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you desire, you will&nbsp;<strong>add a cardamom pod to each Demitasse cup<\/strong>.

Repeat that step one last time and remove the pot from the heating source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>5.
