Cezve (ibrik)

A cezve is a small long-handled pot, traditionally copper or brass, used for preparing Turkish-style coffee. The narrow neck helps retain foam during heating. Different regional names exist: ibrik is common in English-language specialty contexts, briki in Greek tradition. Material and size affect heat transfer; a thick copper body promotes even heating without hot spots. The World Cezve/Ibrik Championship showcases modern specialty applications of this ancient tool.
