    I just got a Đžezva, I’ve tried my hand at Bosnian coffee several times, I’m just not sure how to make the foam. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

      Wait until the water has boiled, remove it (dont turn the stove off) put coffee in water, stir and put it immediately back to open fire. For me it always works like that.

      My man do it like this:
      1. Once you wake up brush your teeth and do your regular morning routine.
      2. Turn on the TV and switch some chill news/or tv show
      3. Go to the kitchen
      4. Take dzezva, fildzan (small cups are fine), grouned coffee (use sugar if you are a little bitch)
      5. Put some grounded coffee in the dzezva
      6. Put a lot of water to boil (you never know your aunt from Germany might come so you will need more coffee)
      7. Once water boils remove it from the stove ( do not turn of the flames/heat)
      8. Put dzezva with coffee on the heat and pour water in it ( not all the way 4/5 of it
      9. Wait for it to rise ( edge it a little bit but dont make it spill over)
      10. Let it rest away from the heat, add water again until almost full and stir slowly one more time until it drops in level
      11. Put it back on the flame, let it rise (edge it again)
      12. You are done, enjoy the bosnian coffee it goes good with hurmasica or rahat lokum s orahom( also put out the flame you dont need it anymore)
      13. Optionally you can read klix or oslobodjenje so the bitternes of clickbait will remove the bitternes from the coffee

      1. Boil the water in džezva
      2. Remove džezva from stove (keep the stove on)
      3. Add ground coffee in džezva and stir
      4. Put the džezva back on the stove and wait for the foam to rise. Keep an eye on it because it can boil over pretty quickly and ruin your coffee
      5. Enjoy your coffee

      Make sure you have the right type of ground coffee for this (don’t use espresso, coffee intended for filtering, etc.).

      From experience, it tastes better if you pour boiling water on top of the coffee grounds and mix it in, than if you mix coffee grounds into hot water. I believe it settles a little bit better.

      Just to add to this even though it’s slightly off topic, it’s džezva not đžezva. While dž (which is counted as a single letter in the alphabet, same as lj and nj) and đ are of similar sound, it is never đž.

      Boil your water in a separate pot or kettle then pour over the coffee grounds in your dzezva, let it rise. That’s how you get foam.

      Try a different brand of coffee and add more teaspoons if needed.
      Trial and error until you find the coffee you like and amount.

      1. Put some grounded coffe into the dzeva and leave it there.
      2. In a second container put water to boil.
      3. When water is boiling, roast the ground coffe a bit on the fire until you smell the coffe in the air.
      4. Add 1/3 boiling water to dzezva and let the coffe come to boil, remove te dzegva from the fire.
      5. Repeate 2 more times 4.
      6. Enjoy your coffe.

      You almost certainly need more coffee there. Much more. There should be a thick residue on the bottom of džezva in the end. So try with more coffee. Rule of the thumb should be one ridiculously full teaspoon of coffee per person.
