What is an Ibrik?

An ibrik is a Turkish coffee pot made from brass or copper. It has a long handle (like a saucepan) for easily removal from the heat without burning your hands. Traditional ibrik’s have numbers scratched underneath which signifies how many cups of coffee they will make.

The coffee grounds will usually remain in the bottom of the pot after brewing, however if some do end up in your cup – do not drink them.

If you long to try a Turkish coffee, but don’t own or intend to get an ibrik, you can use a small saucepan.

About Andy Horton

I am a coffee aficionado and green tea enthusiast! I guess I can 'blame' for this because of my parents! As I was growing up my mother was always sipping a cup of coffee and my Dad well, as he has passed on - we celebrate 'national tea drinking day' on his birthday every year. It seemed as if tea was his 'Popeye's Spinach'. On a more serious topic, healthy living plays a huge part in my life and that of my families. So you will find subjects on this website relating to health. You can subscribe to my free daily newspaper at The Coffee Alera Daily and find me on Twitter and Facebook.
