I had been interested in acquiring an ibrik ever since my first cup of Turkish coffee at Dilettante in Seattle. For some reason I never got around to making the purchase. Well, this was the year I treated myself, and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. This set includes everything that you need to start developing your skill with the ibrik. (And it does take a few tries to get it right.)The ibrik that comes with the set is a nice size for making coffee for one or two, and has a nice brass finish. The coffee samples are fun to play with and a nice introduction to the different ways in which this style of coffee is prepared (and here I mean the different spices or flavors which might be ground with the coffee beans). Finally, the cups are a nice way to serve it and match the size of the ibrik very well.
Tip: I found that I needed to scrub the inside of the ibrik to get it clean before its first use, which would have been very difficult if I hadn't had an old baby bottle brush laying around.
Product Description
The Turkish Coffee Gift Set brings to the table the oldest coffee drinking ritual: Coffee brewed in small pots called cezves and served in demitasse cups already sweetened. Turkish coffee is still prepared this way in the old country and in Middle Eastern and Greek restaurants from New York to San Francisco. Simple and romantic. A perfect gift for coffee lovers
