My husband drinks several cups of Turkish coffee every day and has boil overs almost every time he makes a cup… It is a huge mess to try to clean on my glass top electric stove. Any ideas of another way to make it without such a mess? Wish we had just one gas burner!

I had the same problem; electric stoves can’t regulate the temp properly for Turkish coffee (it needs to heat up slowly & those small pots boil fast). I gave up on the stove and made my own cheap sand heater (traditional way to make it) by buying a small steel tray, filling it with a layer of playground sand from Home Depot, and placing it over the side burner on my outdoor grill.
It works beautifully, and I can make 3 pots at the same time. Of course, I probably won’t be making much with Winter coming up.

The main important process of making Turkish Coffee is heating the Coffee Pot slowly. This heating method also gives the delicious taste to Turkish Coffee. By heating the Coffee Pot slower, you will control Coffee pot and will not let the heated coffee to boil over.
