Leo Design Solid Copper Turkish Coffee Pot (4 Cup / 290ml) | Wooden Handle Cezve – 3mm Thick Handmade Hammered Ibrik Briki Stovetop Cezve Greek Arabic Maker, Engraved (4 Cup)

Brilliant but makes a great Turkish Kahve

I bought the 2 cup version for myself as I already own a larger multi cup one that I bought in Turkey. This one is solid and quite thick copper that is tin lined,as all copper cooking pans should be. It has a wooden removeable handle which is riveted on and feels very sturdy. I have only made one coffee so far but it works as it should. It comes with a metal spoon which I will not use as it will scratch the tin lining. A well made product and cheap price

I think you'll take your chances with this. Mine was from Amazon Warehouse and if it was a customer return I can see why: the riveting of the handle to the body looks poor (though it is solid) and the finish of the handle is a bit ... rough. I have lower standards, though, so I'll keep it. The finish of the pot itself (tinning and hammer work) is fine. I bought this to make my 20g/200ml brews, thinking I needed a bit of space for the floating grounds and the rise. Actually, the contents look a bit lost at first and I probably should have gone for the four cup model. Previously, I used a stainless steel pot which worked well, but did develop noticeable heat spots which I would stir away. The heating with this is definitely more even and the brew time is shorter (this reduced time may or may not be a good thing!). The wooden handle is definitely a boon - my other copper pot has the traditional metal handle which requires some insulation to pick up; also the angle of the handle on this one makes it less awkward to use. Recommended but 'caveat emptor'.

Now, I like coffee. A lot. I get beans from a really good roaster, 2kg a month, and invariably run out at some point. My bean-2-cup machine gets a hammering, but still I craved a little more. It was at this point that the rich, muddy, slightly sweet masterpiece that is Turkish Coffee popped into my head. I started off with a stainless ilsa cezve, but it was more like a small milk pan than a proper cezve, and the foam never really formed properly. A little digging and it turns out the inverted funnel design of traditional cezves makes a huge difference, so I bought this lovely little thing (2-cup) on a whim. 4g of brown sugar, 12g of Turkish coffee and 120ml of water works for me. Used with a Bialetti induction hotplate, I prewarm the plate on max (14 on my hob) for 90 seconds, then drop it back to 8 and pop the cezve on top. 2 minutes later, the magic happens and I'm in coffee heaven. It's worth buying a Turkish coffee brand as you need a really, really fine grind to get this right. Nearly all ground coffee is a bit too coarse so unless you have a grinder that will give you a fine powder, do yourself a favour and track down a Turkish coffee blend, or ask your local roaster for the finest grind they can do. There's something very relaxing about making a cup of coffee like this, which is ironic given the caffeine punch you get when you drink it!

I found this item was not fit for purpose as the first time I tried to use it, it leaked through the crude rivets punched through the copper body to hold the handle in place.

Quality materials, we'll made all at a good price

The product does what it says it does. It makes a good cup of Turkish coffee but it has several flaws. Before starting to write its faults, I would like to say that its walls are really thick (3 mm) for a Turkish coffee pot, which is a desirable feature. That usually leads to more extraction and a more even and repeatable brewing. If I come to its faults: 1- It has a wooden handle, but the quality of the wood is quite low. The handle isn't precisely mounted either. It is at a slightly off angle on my pot. 2- The tin coating isn't high-quality. The surface is rough. In fact, my pot arrived slightly tarnished which I cleaned myself. 3- It arrived with a small dent on its bottom. It is very small and is hard to see even under light but is there. To summarise, it is a good product at a conceptual level and it brews tasty cups. It would very likely outperform most other pots on this website while brewing light roasts and in durability. But they should improve the quality of their manufacturing.

I love Turkish / Greek / Arabic coffee but you need the right thing to make it - and icedently the right coffee - good quality. I guess you could use an Aeropress - but its the fun in making it the ritual that makes for the great taste. This is the two cup size so remember they are going to be small cups (expresso size) and don't drink the last bit. The slightly impractical bit is that the base does not fit on any of the gas burners on the stove in my kitchen so I end up holding it over one side which means that I get an uneven cook - but it's a lovely thing to use and the brewing is excellent. Cleans up well - you have to deal with the grouds but they are very fine so go down the sink. If you know how to make the coffee already - it's a useful bit of kit - if you are branching out then its a great tool to be using - have fun either way

I bought this super cheap (3€) from the Amazon Warehouse. The Cezve (i have the "two cup" version) is performing as advertised but obviously quite small for European electric stoves. Its easy to clean and construction quality, albeit somewhat cheap (handle) is sturdy enough. I recommend sanding the handle and coating it with oil or something as it feels very coarse and cheap as others have already mentioned.

Muy buena calidad.

Bella da vedere, tradizionale, e permette di fare un ottimo caffè greco. Il materiale accorcia notevolmente i tempi di ebollizione rispetto all'acciaio e mantiene più a lungo il calore.

Superbe, belle et robuste

Nell'oggetto, in perfetto stile ottomano. L'ho già messo sul fuoco un po' di volte è ancora perfetto. Il caffè viene bene,se sai come prepararlo in stile ottomano. Fino a sei caffè
