What is a "cezve"?

A cezve, also known as an ibrik or Turkish coffee pot, is a small, long-handled pot traditionally used to brew Turkish coffee. It has a distinctive design, featuring a narrow neck, a wider bottom, and a long handle, often made of metal such as copper or brass. To prepare Turkish coffee using a cezve, finely ground coffee, water, and sugar, if desired, are combined in the pot and heated slowly over low heat. As the mixture heats, the coffee grounds begin to settle, creating a thick, rich brew. Once the coffee reaches a near-boiling point, it is poured into small cups, often without straining, to enjoy. The cezve is an integral part of Turkish coffee culture and is prized for its ability to produce a strong, aromatic coffee with a distinctive flavor and texture.
