Bosnian Coffee · Sarajevo
Bosnian coffee is slow-brewed in a dzezva copper pot, served unfiltered with the grounds settling at the bottom of a small cup, paired with rahat lokum on the saucer and a glass of cold water.
Coffee arrived in Sarajevo through Ottoman trade in the 1530s and the city's coffeehouse culture predates Vienna by 150 years. The dzezva-brewing method, sugar cube on the side and rahat lokum pairing crystallised into the Bosnian-specific format distinguishing it from Turkish and Greek coffee traditions. Cajdzinica Dzirlo on Kovaci is the canonical Sarajevo Bosnian-coffee sit.
