| TRADITIONAL DESIGN
Each unique copper piece is hand hammered into a shape by experienced artisans in Anatolia. Our coffee makers are made with heavy thick copper (not the flimsy light weight stuff like some others) and are tin lined inside for 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 stainless steel and brass but these don't heat well and make less "foam"). These 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!
PORCELAIN CUP & SAUCER
Traditionally designed gold-plated fine porcelain cup and saucer by Kutahya Porcelain, the leading porcelain tableware manufacturer in Turkey. It was established in 1973 in Kütahya, the city that is world renown for it's porcelain.
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.
