Step 1: Acquire an ibrik / cezve / džezva

If you can, I recommend going somewhere local. If you have a local international market, or market that sells Arabic or Turkish foods, that would be best. You'll get a decent price there. It really shouldn't cost more than $10 (and I think that's pushing it).

If you can't find a place to purchase it locally, buy online. You might be tempted to get a fancy one, but those are expensive and not easy to clean because of the shape. Something simple and cheap like this works just as well.

Step 2: Acquire coffee cups

If you already have espresso cups, you can use those. However Turkish coffee is traditionally drank out of special cups, about this size/style here. If you've found a local place to get the ibrik, you can likely find cups there too.

Step 3: Acquire Turkish coffee

There are two options here. #1 which I think is easier and better, is to buy ground Turkish coffee. Once again, if you're at a local store that sells it, buy it there. It will likely be freshest and cheapest. Sometimes they also sell small packages of it, which might be good if you're trying to see if you like it.

Your second option, is to go to a grocery store or market that sells ground coffee - pick the coffee you want, and when you use the grinder machine, select "Turkish". It is the most fine setting. The problem with this method, is that the machine will never grind it as well as "real Turkish coffee". If you're planning to host a dinner party to show off your new Turkish coffee skills, do NOT do it this way.

Technically there is a third option. You can buy a Turkish coffee grinder. This way you can choose the beans, and get the finely ground consistency of real Turkish coffee. But be warned, these make for better ornamental displays in your home rather than grinding coffee. Also, I've never figured out how to clean the inside...

Step 4: Cook the coffee!

Fill an empty cup (the Turkish or espresso style) with water, and dump it into your ibrik. Place it on the stovetop on high heat. Once the water has just begun to boil, take 1 teaspoon of coffee grounds and place it into the water and stir. Watch carefully, because within 10 seconds the coffee will begin to rise. Keep stirring to prevent the coffee from pouring over the edge. Once the coffee begins to rise, remove it from the heat and wait for it to drop, then return it to the stovetop and let it rise one more time. When it starts to rise again, turn off the heat and you're done! Pour the coffee into the cup. Wait for it to cool, and enjoy

If you like your coffee with sugar, you can add that while it's cooking or after you've poured it into the cup. Also, Turkish coffee is NOT typically drank with milk or cream.

Step 5: When you're done drinking, turn the cup upside down (optional)

I actually don't know how prevalent this is in Turkey, but in former Yugoslavia where people drink a lot of Turkish coffee, this is what they often do.

And sometimes for fun people will do fortune telling by looking at the grounds inside the upside down cup. I don't know much about it, but it's fun to watch people do it.

The Hario is made of thin glass but I've poured hot coffee right onto ice with no issue many times through it. Also ran it through a dishwasher.

Only major risk is if you drop it I'd imagine.

u/ScottAllyn · 4 pointsr/Coffee

Turkish coffee is awesome! I haven't even fired up my Silvia since I started doing Turkish coffee.

You should definitely post your cezve link as there are some very low quality cezves on Amazon. I bought one via Amazon that looks really pretty, but it's super thin and the coating on the inside looks... off; I'll never use it for anything more than a decoration.

This one is actually pretty good:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LRIR66A/

I've ordered two of those and one gets used an average of twice a day at the office:

STC also has some really good cezves that are silver-lined. They're pricey, but worth it, imo:

u/Omrianh · 4 pointsr/Coffee

I like this version of the hario range server. It's $10, comes with a cap, and I hear it's sturdier than the beehive variant.

u/Donpabloescobar · 4 pointsr/financialindependence

Hahaha! Luckily I have a gas stove and do a Japanese paper drip for my coffee, so coffee is available even in a power outage! If you have a gas stove, it may be worth considering:

u/_reboot_ · 3 pointsr/Coffee

I just recently got the V60 for myself and I love it. I'm not by any means a perfectionist when it comes to my techniques, but I can most definitely notice the difference between this and my old brew methods (French Press / Drip).

I got the all glass setup with an all stainless steel electric kettle. It doesn't have variable temp, but I can guess well enough. I was going to go with a metal filter but decided against it. Natural filter papers are fine IMO.

Cleanup requires you to simply ditch the filter with grounds and then follow that up by rinsing out the containers. Not bad at all. In regards to your worry about knocking your current setup over, this setup (dripper and pot), are just set one on top of another. Just be weary of that as well.

u/eyeoutthere · 3 pointsr/Coffee

I use a v60 and that Zojirushi, but not together.

I could not get it to work well and mainly it wasn't stable and almost tipped over a couple times.

I pour into a server and then put it in the thermos.

I personally like the Gino if you are going for that look: amazon link

u/teilo · 3 pointsr/Coffee

I like the notNeutral Gino Server. It’s double-walled, so it retains heat better:

https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/notneutral/gino-server

However, that’s probably more than you want to spend.

There’s the other 600ml range server model for $12 on Amazon:

u/u-chemex · 3 pointsr/Coffee

In my opinion, a thermometer is definitely a must. It will help you get the right extraction and allow you to repeat the results. I use a goose neck kettle with a built in thermometer.

This is what I have.

u/AmNotLost · 3 pointsr/Coffee
u/Terrarosa81 · 3 pointsr/tea

Lol, as you can tell electric kettles are super popular. And something you guys may want to keep in mind for if your mom gets more forgetful later in life as they're safer. Or at least a whistling kettle, again for safety reasons.

If you want a stove top tea kettle that doesn't whistle, if it where me I'd probably go with something like this:

Gooseneck Kettle - Coffee Gator Pour Over Kettle - Precision-Flow Spout and Thermometer - Barista-Standard Hand Drip Tea and Coffee Kettle for Induction and all Stovetops - 40oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E2O21NS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.xu1DbQZWE8VF

Be aware I don't own this it's just something I would consider. Also I be aware I think the lid gets hot if you need to open it for some reason while it's on the stove.

u/ajfirecracker · 2 pointsr/Coffee

Hario V60 Serving Carafe - $28 - A normal carafe which compliments the V60. You can substitute any other carafe which fits the V60, although this comes with a lid and fits perfectly.

u/LazyG · 2 pointsr/Coffee

Consider a pourover rig instead. Aeropress tastes great but the one cup limitation is a pain. Look into Hario V60 or a Chemex. I think if you liked FP a V60 is better (chemex can be so clean it is less coffee-like after a hearty french press).

http://www.amazon.com/Hario-V60-Coffee-Server-1000ml/dp/B001V7NN1Y/ref=sr_1_23?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1454076882&sr=1-23&keywords=hario+v60 plus

THis will make a fairly large amount of good coffee. However you can also go for the smaller servers (600 ml size and the 02 size cone) which are more common and have cheaper filters.

Search Amazon for double wall pour over. It's essentially insulated but all glass and keeps it hot for 90 minutes.

Double Wall Pour Over Coffee Maker With Stainless Steel Double Wall Cone Filter, Insulated Coffee Glass Carafe with Cork Lid, Best For Osaka Goldtone Hiware, Chemex, Hario V60 Coffee Makers By Bolio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0733B894M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B4-VzbNF84W90

u/Ealvar01 · 2 pointsr/Coffee

Seconded. My only additional comment is that it is important to remember that you should adjust your grind depending on the quantity that you're making.

For instance, if I'm only making a cup for myself in my v60, then I'll use a medium-fine grind. If I'm making a full pot, then I'll do a medium to medium-coarse. The reason, which may seem obvious, is that you still want similar extraction times. A coarser grind will allow you to hit that same extraction time on a larger batch.

u/Candyheart_buttplug · 2 pointsr/Coffee

This would be your best bet!


My mom says it might work if you're making it in large quantities, but that'd be a waste to try out. With this tiny cezve, you can make one or two tiny cups worth.

u/GTR128 · 2 pointsr/Coffee

Looks like the coffee gator one on amazon. I'll edit with the link. I'm on mobile.

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018WDAQBE/

u/frdhm · 2 pointsr/Coffee

I have a 02 hario v60 that I make 700ml coffee (using 02 600ml glass server (the server holds more than 600ml)) . I bet 03 would work for you with a 03 server. I looked the 03 server up on Amazon and the reviews says it can hold 900mL. Also there is nothing wrong using a larger server than what I suggest, you just need something for the coffee to drip into.

Here is the link:
03 800mL glass server


u/mattagascar83 · 2 pointsr/Coffee

My mother always asks me for a Christmas list and I put this guy on it this year.

I use a large mason jar to brew into with my V60 generally, and it's fine (wrapped in the thermal sleeve from our French Press it usually works out decently), but something dedicated / with a handle will be really nice to have.

It's sold out on the Hario link above, but you can get it on Amazon too.

u/JackMancactus · 2 pointsr/Weakpots

I ordered this. I was gonna get an electric one but this is a lot cheaper and has the thermometer built in so that's nice.

u/Tofon · 2 pointsr/starterpacks

Personally I have been using this one from Amazon for a long time and have nothing but good things to say about it, although I recently left it on my stove for way to long and ruined it, so I've been thinking about replacing it with this one.

u/blue_bass · 2 pointsr/Coffee

I'm looking into getting some sort of pour-over (a barista friend is set on a Kalita, but I haven't really decided which I want). Anyways, I've seen people mention things like the Hario Range Server and I'm just wondering if it's really necessary to have when getting a pour-over? Is it difficult to only do one serving and that's the reason people buy them?

u/MikeTheBlueCow · 2 pointsr/Coffee

The one you linked was my second option but it was just ever-so-slightly smaller than I wanted. Here's the one I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079KWDWSP. It is 8oz to the neck (10oz is completely filled with no room for the foam). It has no pattern and the handle is removable (which I like for cleaning). The tin coating is slightly imperfected but appears to be thick enough that I do not mind the small indentations. Overall I'm happy with it and it appears to heat evenly and has a wide enough base to cover enough of the small burner on my stove (I was worried about that with some of the smaller size cezve).

u/xdflames · 1 pointr/Coffee

Little late to this thread and new to the sub, but hopefully someone can still answer my questions! Before I start I'd like to say that I don't have $300 to spend on a good coffee set with a grinder, kettle and etc.

I've never been a huge coffee drinker but I'm really interested in going for it now. I've only ever had regular coffee brands made in an electric coffee maker and I always ended up adding a lot of sugar and milk because it was too strong. This being the case, my research has showed pour over coffee having a smoother taste than something like a french press, although french press is considerably cheaper!

My biggest question is, should I splurge a little for a decent kettle, grinder and pour over coffee maker to achieve what I think to be my preferred taste? Alternatively, I could easily grab a french press from Starbucks via a friend working there for fairly cheap.

That being said, I'm very interested in the art that is pour over coffee and fine tuning it to achieve better taste. The only problem is, everything I've looked at so far is incredibly expensive to start out and I'm not ready to spend that kind of money into this endeavor just yet. The $20-$30 for the coffee maker isn't the problem, it's the $50 hand grinder and $50 kettle that get me thinking that I shouldn't go down that rabbit hole.

Edit: I found a cheap and highly rated Grinder, an easy to use coffee dripper and a decent sized server but I'm unsure of if I'd need one if I'm only making 1-2 cups at a time. Thoughts on these selections and any recommendations for a kettle?

Unfortunately the cost is slowly racking up past the point of me being comfortable spending it all at once.

u/rabidpirate · 1 pointr/Coffee
u/211logos · 1 pointr/CampingGear

Yeah, we've used a percolator coffee pot with the strainer basket removed. The only necessity IMHO is a spout since it makes it easier to leave most of the ground behind when pouring. Although a taller rather than wider pot works well, like those that actually taper to the top. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Enamel-Percolator-Coffee-Basket/dp/B01LXLK3NS

u/menschmaschine5 · 1 pointr/Coffee

Please simplify that Amazon link; the spam filter doesn't like it.

(everything after /dp/B01E2O21NS/ can be removed).

Edit: Thanks!

u/Gefiltefish1 · 1 pointr/Coffee

If you have the Hario V60 Server, it's the same one I have. Remember that the coffee holds on to a certain amount of the water after brewing. I've actually brewed with as much as 750ml water (not recommended!) without overflowing the carafe.

u/Neokev · 1 pointr/Coffee

So I wasn't gonna contribute, considering almost all my gear has already been posted, but if you have a V60 and are making multiple cups, I highly suggest this, a Hario server:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000P4B4LU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1373555238&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX112_SY192
I just got one last week, and it's awesome. I mean, it's no better at its job than any other container that a V60 sits on, but since hario makes it, it is a perfect fit, it comes with a lid, and it's nice to look at.

u/lofiharvest · 1 pointr/Coffee

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012VWZ88S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This carafe. I dont think its that as I have brewed with many coffees and never had an issue. I will however from now on be mindful to make sure the vent hole is open.

u/mrsaturn42 · 1 pointr/Coffee

this one is a little cheaper http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O0LCPW

u/daddywombat · 1 pointr/Coffee

I brew my 185 into a Hario Range server without any problem. Well, until last weak when the glass cracked. I think it lasted 2 years and I am going to replace with a Kalita just because I can now find them in Canada (finally).

u/Lbox88 · 1 pointr/Coffee

I have this one and it's held up fine so far. It's a Buono style copy but with an integrated thermometer.

u/cieje · 1 pointr/vaporents

I haven't, but I think that would work; a future experiment.

just put like a bunch of AVB in the tank and cover with everclear. I bet the ultrasonic will potentially produce a similar result as just letting it sit to make a tincture

edit like I was looking at these carafes to set in the tank without getting it dirty and making it easy to get the stuff out. and you could even strain it directly with this

update so it's talked about in a few places, like here, so it's something I'm going to try with vegetable glycerin.

I bought this bottle that has a built-in filter. the idea is that I can put AVB in and cover it with vegetable glycerin, put the bottle into the ultrasonic cleaner, and simply pour the tincture into dropper bottles.

u/doubleme · 1 pointr/Coffee

For what it's worth, the plastic handle versions of the V60 servers are a good bit cheaper than their fully glass counterparts. I thought they were too expensive, but then I saw these and picked one up right away. Link

u/Enjiom · 1 pointr/Coffee

I really like my Coffee gator gooseneck from amazon. Has a built in thermometer which is awesome!

Have had it for a good 10 months now and use it about 5 days a week, I just rinse it every once in a while. No rust or loose parts or anything.

Link: ~42$ via Amazon POUR OVER Coffee Kettle - Coffee Gator

u/saint_jacques · 1 pointr/tea

here's the scale. beautiful, but definitely not cheap.

this isn't the server in the back, but it's close

turns out hario makes another server with that handle. this is probably it.

u/xxharmxx · 1 pointr/Coffee

Great choices. My setup at home is the following and highly highly recommended. Also don’t forget to pick up the bleached white filters for your dripper, Grindz grinder cleaner, a brush for cleaning the grinder, and maybe some Third Wave Water. I also have a Zojirushi hot water pot with Third Wave Water in it so I can have shorter boiling times in the kettle.

u/dbees · 1 pointr/Coffee

I have an AeroPress for single cups and a V60 drip with a Hario glass range for multiple cups. A gooseneck kettle makes the drip easier, but it's not absolutely required if you already have a regular kettle. If you're careful enough you can make it work just fine. I have no experience with Chemex.

u/kzupan · 1 pointr/tea

it looks like it's a pot they used to sell but this one is fairly close

u/DashAttack · 1 pointr/Coffee

If you're looking for the one in the Amazon photos, it's the Hario V60 Range Server: http://www.amazon.com/Hario-XGS-60TB-Range-Server-600Ml/dp/B000P4931S

Otherwise it's generally known as a carafe.

u/PartofHistory · 1 pointr/tea

Hands down favorite! https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Gator-Pour-Over-Kettle/dp/B018WDAQBE?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

It pours in a controlled way and has a built-in thermometer (water temp is important when you brew tea!). I use it all the time. It's also stainless steel:)
