Looking for tips on enjoying Turkish coffee without upsetting my sensitive stomach. How should I brew it?

It can be hard to drink Turkish coffee without making your stomach upset because of how strong the flavor is and how it is brewed. There are a few changes you can make to your brewing to lessen its effects:

• Choose a finely ground coffee. Be careful not to make it too powdery, though, as this can extract bitterness that could make your stomach upset.
• Instead of starting with hot water, you might want to try the cold brew method first, since it extracts less acidity. Just soak the coffee grounds in cold water overnight, and then heat them slowly before serving.
• A milder brew can be made by using about two heaping teaspoons of coffee per cup instead of four, and the brewing time can be cut down by taking it off the heat just before it boils.
• Adding cardamom, cinnamon, or ginger can make something taste better and might even help your digestion.
• If you want a smoother drinking experience, choose low-acid beans like dark roasts or ones that say "low-acid" on the package.
• Having food with your coffee can also help lessen the effects it has on your stomach. If you want to avoid irritating your stomach lining, serve your coffee lukewarm instead of piping hot.

Last but not least, it's best to limit yourself to one cup at a time, especially if you're new to Turkish coffee. You can enjoy Turkish coffee without any problems if you make these changes and take these things into account.
