The roasted coffee was then transferred
into a cooling bin and left to cool.
The coffee was ground in "dibek"
(large mortar) and "havan" (mortar).
The roasted beans were transferred into hand carved wooden cooling bins that featured an opening for pouring out the coffee. The matchless cooling bins were decorated with carved motifs and are one of the finest examples of Turkish woodwork.

The beans were then ground either with a "havan" (mortar) or in a "dibek" (large mill). "Dibek" were handmade from wood, marble or stone; "havan" were made from cast bronze.
