What our customer's say!

"NICE IBRIK AT A GOOD PRICE", I seldom review products of any sort, sticking pretty much to books, but will make an exception for this one. This little item can indeed be called a "Turkish Coffee pot," but it should be more properly called an ibrik, or if in another part of that world, cezve. This is an attractive item being reviewed and one of the most important aspects is that it is made of copper rather than the flashy bronze. This is important because making Turkish coffee, if done correctly, is not something that can be done in seconds. Brass, takes for ever to heat up and does not stay all that hot once it does. Copper, on the other hand heats nicely and evenly.

To make a good cup of this stuff requires some experience and indeed experimentation if you have never done it before. Using an ibrik takes skill, for both the first and the second boil. Both boils need to be done very slowly, and to be honest, to get a true flavor, it is best to do this over a charcoal brazier. But I realize that is not likely to happen all that often, so I suppose a stove will do. Anyway, slow boil, both boils, and for goodness sakes don't think you are going to fill an American size cup with these wonderful little tools. Turkish cups are small, like in one or two nice sips. Also remember before you buy one of these things, there is NO filter! There should be NO filter! The coffee to be used should be grounded into a powder, even finer than espresso. Remember, this stuff is SUPPOSE to be strong. I recommend plenty of sugar which is best added in before you pour the coffee into the cup. You get use to the grounds after a week or so.

Yes, you drink the grounds. Do remember that after the first boil, get as much of the foam as you possible can as that is where the best flavor is located. Do not get in a hurry with the second boil, it will ruin the taste.

This particular ibrik being reviewed is good. It has a nice wooden handle and is attractive. As to washing it, I never like using detergent of any sort; rinsed and dried with a towel will do fine. Actually, if my wife let me, I would never was it at all. She if funny about that sort of thing though.

All in all, you could do much worse than purchasing this one. It is a bit fancier than I am use to, but it certainly functions as it should.
