Serving coffee in the džezva means it stays hotter for longer – which is good because Bosnians LOVE to sit and talk over a coffee for hours and hours.
For many Bosnians, coffee became a ritual of time. Coffee drinking is a moment to switch off your brain, unplug from the world, and savor the moment – often with friends or friendly locals in a cafe.
If you’re walking the cobblestone streets of Mostar, you won’t find many ‘to go’ cups of coffee. That’s because Bosnian coffee is a ritual of time, meant to be enjoyed by stopping, sitting down and sipping until the last drop.
