Ottoman coffee (Osmanlı kahvesi) is not plain Turkish coffee — it is Turkish coffee enriched with the flavourings favoured in the Ottoman era. Nuri Toplar's version is a seven-ingredient blend: the roaster's own label lists coffee, cream, salep, chocolate, terebinth (menengiç), mastic, and carob. The cup drinks noticeably rounder and softer than a straight Turkish roast, with the resinous note of mastic and the warmth of carob and terebinth coming through the foam.
Kurukahveci Nuri Toplar is one of Istanbul's historic coffee roasters, based in the Eminönü district, and is known for roasting over a wood fire rather than gas or electric drums — a method very few commercial roasters still use. The blend is ground ultra-fine, as Turkish-style brewing requires.
Preparation works exactly like Turkish coffee: about one heaped teaspoon per small cup, mixed with cold water in a cezve over low heat, taken off the moment the foam rises. There is no need to add milk — the blend already contains cream and salep, so the texture comes built in.
