| TRADITIONAL DESIGN - STAMPED
Each unique
copper piece is hand hammered
by experienced artisans in Turkey. They are
engraved by tapping a chisel and a stamp. Our copper smiths use the
heaviest 1.5 mm
copper (thickest coffee pots we have ever found) for their work and you
can be assured these will last for many generations! They are tin lined inside
for durability and ease of cleaning and have brass
handles.
WHY COPPER?
Copper, more than
any other metal, is known for its ability to diffuse heat evenly and conduct it
quickly throughout its surface. Hence, it is used all over the world as
high-efficiency conductors of heat and are especially coveted for their ability
to quickly bring water to a boil (there are some cezve/ibriks that are made of
brass but these don't heat as well and in fact some of our pots have brass
handles to keep them cool to touch). They are easy to care for, needing
only an occasional cleaning with a soft, damp cloth. Also, they tend to
look better and gain more character as they age...just like people!
