Coffee pot - nickel-plated brass cezve, 300 ml, removable wooden handle

Nickel-plated brass cezve with a 300 ml capacity and a removable wooden handle. It makes up to 3 cups of Turkish coffee on a gas or ceramic glass stovetop, or a camping stove, but does not work on induction. Made in Moradabad, India.

Description

The cezve, called briki in Greece and ibrik in parts of the Middle East, is the small pot used to make Turkish coffee: very finely ground coffee heated slowly with water, then served unfiltered with its foam. Its shape, flared at the base and narrower at the neck, concentrates the foam on the surface as it heats.

This one is made of brass coated with a thin layer of nickel. Brass conducts heat well, allowing it to heat evenly, while the nickel gives it a shiny finish. The wooden handle unscrews, so the cezve can be stored flat or slipped into a camping bag, and washed without damaging the wood.

Specifications

Making Turkish coffee

1. Pour in cold water, about one 70 ml cup per person. Do not fill the cezve more than three-quarters full.
2. Add one heaped teaspoon of very finely ground coffee per cup, and sugar if you like. Stir once.
3. Heat over low heat without stirring. When the foam rises to the neck, just before boiling, remove the cezve from the heat.
4. First pour a little foam into each cup, then pour in the rest. Let it sit for one minute so the grounds settle at the bottom.

Care
Remove the handle, then hand-wash the cezve in hot water with a little dish soap. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the nickel. Dry it immediately. Do not put it in the dishwasher or microwave.
