Description: |
Pestles, club-shaped tools, and mortars, bowl shaped containers, were used for grinding coffee by hand before the Fifteenth Century. As the popularity of coffee increased in Europe during the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish coffee mill was introduced. This particular coffee mill grinds coffee to a fine powder, where as other coffee mills do not grind coffee this fine. The coffee maker is called an ibrik, cezve, or jezve. The traditional copper and brass coffee makers cause the contents to boil faster. To make Turkish coffee, you add 1 teaspoon each of ground coffee and sugar to every 2 ounces of water, bring it to a boil several times, and then serve the froth with the coffee. |
