Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +1mm copper with a lead-free tin lining, both stated
- +Wooden handle, which stays cool on a pot that goes on and off the heat repeatedly

- +12 oz brews up to four demitasse servings; an 18 oz size is offered
- +Wooden spoon and gift box included
- −$49.99 is roughly double the Hakan for a similar specification
- −Not compatible with induction
- −Hand wash only, and it must be dried immediately
- −Weight and dimensions are not published
- +18/10 tri-ply with an aluminium core, which spreads heat far better than single-wall steel
- +Dual pour spouts for either hand
- +Measurement markings inside the pot, which no other cezve here has
- +The listing leads with its induction limitation instead of burying it
- +4.5 from 300 ratings, a solid sample
- −The 3.3in magnetic base may not be detected by larger or portable induction hobs
