Cezve / Ibrik

A small, long-handled pot with a narrow neck, used to brew Turkish coffee by bringing finely ground coffee and water to a slow simmer directly in the pot.

Material & Construction

Traditionally copper (often tin-lined) or brass; modern versions are commonly stainless steel; sized for one to a few small cups per brewing.

Traditional Uses

Brewing Turkish coffee, a slow, unfiltered method that leaves fine grounds settled at the bottom of the cup by design.

Modern Availability / Equivalents

Widely available internationally through Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchenware retailers in a range of sizes; no close substitute exists for achieving the specific foam (kaymak) this pot's narrow neck helps produce.

Care & Maintenance

Hand wash; avoid abrasive scrubbing on tin-lined copper versions, which can wear through the lining over time.
