TRADITIONAL
DESIGN
Each
unique copper piece is hand hammered into a shape by experienced artisans in Turkey.
They are carefully etched with elaborate designs, then polished and hand
painted one by one with decorative bright colors! They look like pieces of art
but made for everyday use. You'll have a conversation piece for sure, as you
sip your coffee with friends and family. They are tin lined inside for durability
and ease of cleaning.
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!

EFENDI TURKISH COFFEE (8.81 OZ)
Manufacturing
coffee is an art. From purchasing to roasting and grinding to packaging, every
stage of the process calls for a variety of skills and expertise as well as great attention to detail. It
takes a perfectionist to choose the coffee beans, a good ear to hear the songs
sung by the beans as they roast, and meticulous attention care to grind the
coffee correctly. As with any artist, coffee producers are not made but born.
The secrets of producing coffee are passed on from father to son, from master
to apprentice. Special formulas that are the result of many years of experience are passed on from
generation to generation.
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi has been
roasting coffee since 1871. Today, it is the biggest and the oldest coffee company in Turkey.
They use the latest fully automated filling and sealing machines to package coffee
in specially designed cans that preserve the coffee's freshness up to its
expiry date, keeping it as fresh as the
day it was ground.
