Written By Dr. Honeybrew

Requirements

Cezve (Copper Pot, pronounced: ‘Jez-ve’ some also call it ‘Ibrik’)

Finely Ground Arabica Coffee

Cup & Saucer

Step 1

Fill your favorite coffee or tea cup all the way with water (ice cold for best results), and dump it into your cezve.

This allows us to properly measure our water to coffee ratio. An average cup should have about 3oz of water.

Step 2

Set the cezve on the stovetop, and crank the dial to a low to medium heat.

Ideally, the coffee shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to prepare, otherwise you will begin to lose foam — which is where both future and flavor lies!

Step 3

Now, let’s add a hearty spoonful of Arabica coffee into the cezve. We’re talking about 1/2 teaspoon of coffee for every 3 ounces of ice cold water.

Step 4

Stir for 7 seconds until the coffee dissolves beautifully.

Step 5

Once the coffee percolates — forming a chocolatey and foamy layer on top — you know you’re almost there!

Step 6

As bubbles form on the edge of cezve, turn off the stove, and pour your coffee into your cup and enjoy.
