Coffee pot - 750 ml nickel-plated brass cezve, removable wooden handle

Nickel-plated brass cezve with a 750 ml capacity and a removable wooden handle. It makes up to 3 cups of Turkish coffee on gas, ceramic, or camping stoves, but is not suitable for induction hobs. Made in Moradabad, India.

Description

The cezve, called a briki in Greece and an 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 flared base and narrow neck concentrate the foam on the surface during heating.

This one is made of brass coated with a thin layer of nickel. Brass conducts heat well, allowing for even heating, while the nickel gives it a shiny finish. The wooden handle unscrews: the cezve can be stored flat or tucked 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 take it. Stir once.
3. Heat over low heat without stirring. When the foam rises toward the neck, just before it boils, remove the cezve from the heat.
4. First pour a little of the foam into each cup, then add the rest. Let it sit for one minute so the grounds can settle at the bottom.

Care
Remove the handle, then wash the cezve by hand in hot water with a little dishwashing liquid, using a non-abrasive sponge that will not scratch the nickel. Dry immediately. Do not put it in the dishwasher or microwave.
