12 Oz Copper Turkish Greek Arabic Coffee Pot with Copper Handle – Cezve Ibrik Briki Stovetop Coffee Maker (Includes Copper Spoon) (4 servings)
This looks like something you would pick up in a stall at a street bazaar in Turkey. It is intricate and yet has defects. The handle is twisted so that the inlay is twisted slightly to the back. That makes it more comfortable to hold though as you rest your thumb along the handle. There is a metal hook on the end of the wooden handle that twists sideways so you can hang it with the spout pointing forward from a hook on a wall. The handle is attached to a metal piece that has a flower decoration that attaches to the pot with flattened soldered nails.Inside the pot, there are bubbles in the metal almost like there is glue stuck on it but it is the metal. There are also some black scratches in the metal. There is a drop of silver colored solder on the outside of the pot. The outside is brass coated with black etching. The little silver colored spoon has a floral motif with an acorn on the end all embossed and molded into it.This doesn’t arrive ready for gift giving. It had a floral scent, but was heavily wrapped in packing tape and bubble wrap. I had to use a large folding knife to cut through it all. It took a bit of time at that.The little spoon is for ladling out the foam, and the unique design is to increase the production of foam as you heat the pot over low heat or even in hot sand. If you can figure out how to work this, you can make very delicious coffee with it that isn’t bitter. You have to be careful not to boil the fine grounds that are used in it and then don’t drink them at the end. [...]
