If you ever had the opportunity to try Turkish coffee before, then you know how delicious and exciting this coffee can be. There’s something so romantic about Turkish coffee, whether it’s the beautiful Turkish coffee pots that you brew the coffee in or the ceremonial aspect of brewing the coffee. In this guide, I will be going everything you need to know about purchasing the best Turkish coffee pot.
If you’re unfamiliar with Turkish coffee, don’t worry! Turkish Coffee is an unfiltered coffee that is made with finely ground coffee beans. This coffee is extremely popular in the Levant, and it is brewed in a Turkish coffee pot known as a cezve or ibrik. Using the Turkish coffee pot, you would boil water and coffee with sugar and cardamom and serve it in demitasse cups.
Choosing The Best Turkish Coffee Pot for Yourself
Turkish coffee pots come in various sizes, designs and materials. I will be going over these aspects in-depth and hopefully, it will give you some insight on what to look for when purchasing the best Turkish coffee pot.
The Material
The majority of Turkish coffee pots come in three materials: copper, brass and stainless steel. Each one of these materials has their pros and cons, but in the end, they all produce magnificent tasting coffee! Let’s take a look at each material.
Copper – These pots can be very stylish and can look good in a modern or vintage kitchen. They have a wide range of beautiful designs and unique engravings. While copper doesn’t rust, it can corrode over time. These pots are lined with a tin interior for safety and an increased life span.
Brass – Just like the Copper pots, the Brass pots have an old fashioned feel to them, which can bring a bit of romance to the brewing experience. Brass also doesn’t rust, but still tends to corrode over time.
Stainless Steel – The stainless steel pots are sleek, modern and very easy to clean. These pots may not be as romantic as the copper and brass pots but this material will outlast any of the other two. They are also dishwasher-safe.
Before settling on one of these Turkish coffee pots, make sure that your stovetop is compatible with the material, the majority of these pots should work on standard stovetops like gas, electric and ceramic. When purchasing a pot make sure you also consider the size of the pot. If you have a gas burner, It may be difficult balancing a small coffee pot on it. So keep this in mind.
The Size
When choosing a Turkish coffee pot, the size is important. The pot sizes range from 1 to 6 servings. Since brewing the coffee requires much more time and effort than just pushing a button, you want a size that can satisfy your needs. Will this pot only be serving you? Or will you be using it to serving guests most of the time? These are some questions to consider. Standard Turkish coffee is served in small 2-3 oz. cups, so if you are looking to serve more than one guest, you might want to consider a larger pot.
The Neck and Handle
The neck and handle are key elements when it comes to the design of the Turkish coffee pot. When brewing delicious Turkish coffee, it is required to remove the pot off the heat at least twice. So it’s important that your pot is equipped with a sturdy neck and handle. You want a handle that is comfortable to hold and won’t burn you. Handles that are made out of wood and plastic are ideal for this, although plastic may not be the most romantic-looking attribute for your pot. Stainless steel pots usually have steel or plastic handles, while copper and brass pots have wooden and brass handles. If you’re looking to buy a small pot that has a metal handle be very cautious when handling, since the pot’s handle will be closer to the burner.
