| TRADITIONAL DESIGN
Each unique copper
piece is hand hammered into a shape by experienced artisans in Anatolia. 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 and stainless steel but these don't heat as well). They are easy to care for, needing
only an occasional cleaning with a soft, damp cloth. They
look better and gain more character as they age...just like people do!
MEHMET 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 highest quality 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. PORCELAIN CUP & SAUCER
