Traditional coffee

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkish coffee is also called "Bosnian coffee" (Bosnian: bosanska kahva), which is made slightly different than its Turkish counterpart. 


It is usually made with Bosnian coffee brands (such as Zlatna Džezva, Minas, and Saraj Kafa). Another difference from the Turkish preparation is that when the water reaches its boiling point, a small amount is saved aside for later, usually in a coffee cup. Then, the coffee is added to the pot (džezva), and the remaining water in the cup is added to the pot. Everything is put back on the heat source to reach its boiling point again, which only takes a couple of seconds since the coffee is already very hot. Some consumers say that this method of preparing gives the coffee a more distinct flavor. 
Coffee drinking in Bosnia is a traditional daily custom and plays an important role in society, especially during social gatherings.
