Cezve: (n.) it’s like a jacuzzi tub for coffee.
A cezve is a small (usually) copper pot that is designed specifically to make Turkish coffee. When brewing Turkish coffee, the cezve is placed over heat and coffee grounds and water are brought to a lightly bubbling boil. The cezve is moved off the heat, then sometimes brought to a boil a second and third time. Coffee prepared like this gets a nice, hot bubble bath and you get a strong, dark brew.

I’ve used a cezve for years to foam the milk after I pull the espresso on my Rancilio Sylyia–works very well, nice thick foam!
could someone give me instructions on how to brew Turkish coffee correctly? I would greatly appreciate it. I have purchased the cezve and coffee from your website. Thank you, Jon
Hey Jon, thanks for your message! This post should help with that: http://blog.lacolombe.com/2015/10/12/todds-tips-for-turkish-coffee/
That’s great. But can you be a little more detailed, especially about the grind. I am not familiar with a Turkish grind. Todds (Mr. Coffee) instructions seem a little vague. He lives coffee. I am just a guy trying / learning coffee. I am not a coffee geek yet. Thanks.
The process of brewing Turkish coffee is not as precise as other brewing methods, so there’s room for you to experiment. A Turkish grind is very very fine, similar to an espresso grind. Hope this helps!
Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or
go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips?
Thanks a lot!
WordPress is working for us right now! And you can upgrade to paid features that are really cool.
