For most people, coffee is a permanent morning drink that allows you to get away from sleep and invigorate. For some, a little boiling water and instant coffee powder diluted with a certain amount of sugar is enough. Connoisseurs of true taste, on the other hand, have to tinker at the stove to get the perfect morning drink. And after all, high-quality coffee depends not only on the type and degree of roasting of the beans, but also on the device in which it is brewed.
In this case, we are talking about a Turk. And this is not surprising, because coffee nectar, brewed in a special container, has a unique aroma and rich taste.

What it is?
Cezva is a special cookware designed for brewing coffee over an open fire. The design of the device is made in the form of a miniature bucket with a thick base and a thin neck. It turns roasted coffee beans, previously ground into crumbs, into an exquisite refreshment drink.
Attempts to brew grain coffee with ordinary boiling water will not be crowned with success; it will not be possible to create the temperature necessary for preparing the drink in the mug. The Turk is able to withstand boiling water.
True connoisseurs of a real coffee drink consider the process of self-brewing coffee as a special ritual interconnected with human hands and an unbreakable gaze. They do not trust automatic devices for preparing an invigorating drink.

It is believed that the first Turkish turk was made from real gold.
In past centuries, there was a belief that a noble coffee drink should be prepared in a container of the appropriate rank. Therefore, cezves made from cheap metals were not even considered as kitchen utensils.
Special attention should be paid to the structure of the Turks. The presented dishes have an unusual shape for a reason. Due to the narrow spout, the coffee drink cannot run out onto the hob when it boils. And inside the structure, a cream-colored foam forms on top of the coffee drink, which is considered by most coffee lovers to be a real delight. The lower part of the structure of the Turks has a wide shape and a flat bottom.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-6.jpg)
Thanks to this feature, the liquid inside the vessel warms up evenly, and it is much more convenient for a person to monitor the temperature regime.
Today you can find the Turks, made up of several parts. Accordingly, they have a weld, which the manufacturer tries to hide in any way. If you managed to purchase a cezve, folded from several parts, you must carefully read the connection line. A flimsy seam will be the main cause of leakage.

Comparison with a coffee machine
Lovers of a coffee surrogate do not understand the difference between a coffee drink brewed in a coffee machine and a Turk. But true connoisseurs of properly prepared coffee say with confidence that a Turk is the only option for creating the right drink.
It is extremely rare to make coffee in a Turk the first time. In most cases, the first 3 or even 4 portions will have to go down the pipeline. With a coffee maker, everything looks much simpler, it does everything automatically. It is enough to add powdered coffee beans and pour in the required amount of water.
Considering the pricing policy, we can confidently say that the simplest model of the Turks is much cheaper in cost than an ordinary coffee maker. In addition, the coffee drink in cezve is prepared much faster than in an automatic unit.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-8.jpg)
And after use, it is enough to rinse the Turk under running water than to remove and clean the filters and meshes of the coffee machine.
Today there is a universal device, a cross between a Turk and a coffee maker, namely an electric cezve. In appearance, it resembles an electric kettle, which has a heating plate that is connected to the mains. The Turk itself is installed from above into a special groove that supplies power. The handle of the device is removable, so that the unit can be easily folded into luggage. In addition to the technical characteristics, connoisseurs of a true coffee drink assure that it is possible to prepare real aromatic coffee in an electric Turk.
Another difference between cezve and a coffee maker is the process of making a coffee drink. Coffee made in a Turk, from the first minutes of boiling water, begins to emit an amazing smell, and the coffee machine drowns out the aromas.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-9.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-10.jpg)
In addition, the Turk allows you to prepare coffee according to several recipes, each of which fills the drink with a special zest, sophistication and originality.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to prepare something special with coffee machines. On the other hand, the coffee machine is capable of preparing different types of coffee, such as cappuccino or espresso. A Turk cannot afford this, but in the skillful hands of a master it will be possible to create the right coffee drink according to a special recipe, and then season it with cream or cinnamon.

Today, the most common device for making coffee with your own hands is a cezve. And only sophisticated coffee lovers can boast of knowledge about the different types of this kitchen item, allowing you to fill your morning with exciting aromas.
Srjep
A cone-shaped variety of the Armenian Turks with a curved nose and a long handle. There are many nuances in the process of making a srjap. First, the shape is squeezed out in the opposite direction.
In simple terms, it is made not tapering upwards, but expanding from the neck to the bottom.
The initial workpiece is pressed with a heavy weight, then turned upside down. On the narrow side, the bottom is cut off and installed on the wide part. Then the device is shaped and chasing is applied on top, moreover, exclusively by hand. The last step is annealing. According to the traditions of Armenia, cooking utensils, including the Turks, are decorated with a national pattern.

Ibrik
The roots of such an unusual name originate in the Persian dialect. The literal translation sounds like "pour water". Historical documents indicate that it was the ibrik that was the first device for making coffee that has no analogues. Have been using it for a long time. In appearance, the ibrik resembles a jug with a capacity of 100 ml.
Although archaeologists managed to find stationary ibriks with a capacity of 100 liters. The design of the device has a thin long spout, through which it is very convenient to pour hot water. And thanks to the rounded base and flat bottom, it provides additional stability.

Dalla
In ancient times, coffee was considered a drink of nomads and Bedouins, but with its appearance in Arabia, the picture changed dramatically. Coffee began to be consumed in noble houses, thanks to which the status of the drink increased, and it was customary to brew it only in exceptional containers.
So dalla began to appear in ancient kitchens. In appearance, the coffee pot had an unusually tall shape and a short spout.
A prerequisite for the design of the structure was a drawing corresponding to noble houses. The first examples of dalla were made of metal, although at one time they were created from clay.

Manufacturing materials
Modern Turkish models for making coffee drinks have different volumes, differ in shape, in the type of handle, and are also made of various materials.
Copper
Copper is a relatively cheap material, which corresponds to the pricing policy of ready-made cookware. The hallmarks of copper are strength and durability. This material has proven itself exclusively on the positive side, therefore it is used for production needs. Copper has a high thermal conductivity, so any heat source can be used in the coffee brewing process.
And in order to protect the human body from the negative effects of copper, the internal the surface of the turka is coated with an additional layer of silver, tin or stainless steel.
According to the rules for preparing a traditional coffee drink, the Turk is placed in the sand, which is preheated by the fire.
Modern coffee sets include small sandpots and shovels made of copper material. These sets are ideal for city apartments.

Clay
Since ancient times, clay has been a widespread and readily available material from which not only Turks were made, but also other items of kitchen utensils. Thanks to technological progress, other materials have appeared that are easier to use than clay. Accordingly, the cost of clay products has increased significantly. A distinctive characteristic of the clay turkey is long cooling process of the coffee drink, during which the coffee is saturated with oxygen.
The porous structure of clay absorbs odors, which will subsequently fill the kitchen with a special aroma.
In addition, clay structures are very easy to wash out. There is no need to use detergents, just rinse the cezve with cold water.

Ceramics
Ceramics, like clay, perfectly maintains the temperature of the drink, which is why you constantly have to monitor the brewing process. As soon as the first hints of boiling appear, the pottery should be immediately removed from the heat.The only drawback of ceramics is fragility, so such Turks should be protected from falls and accidental impacts.

Glass
A modern material that has relatively recently received the demand of manufacturers, but has not yet acquired much interest from consumers. In the structure of the glass cezve, in most cases, there is no narrow neck. Its walls are thin, therefore the contents of the turkey are warming up quickly. If you are distracted for a couple of seconds, the boiling liquid will pour out onto the stove. Glass construction is most often purchased by connoisseurs of a coffee drink, loving to experiment with new varieties of coffee.
The process of its cooling of the drink is quite fast, so it must be immediately poured into cups.
A distinctive feature of glass Turks is the volume, which is enough to treat several people at once. Crystal and quartz cezva are analogous to glass turks. The thickness of these products allows you to maintain the required temperature of the drink a little longer than ordinary glass. In appearance, crystal, quartz and glass Turks do not differ.

Metal
A versatile material from which not only cezves for coffee are created, but also other types of tableware. The usual aluminum or stainless steel are mainly used. In more ancient times, precious metals such as silver and gold were used as their analogues. According to historical notes, silver and gold dishes were present only in noble houses.
A distinctive feature of the stainless steel Turks is the maximum thermal conductivity.
Metal structures heat up very quickly and are able to maintain the temperature inside the container for a long time. The steel model of the cezve is in great demand among novice coffee lovers.
The brass construction of the Turks requires special attention. From this material it turns out not only to melt the dishes, but also to create an individual decor on the surface. The main thing is that brass cools down for a very long time, so a coffee drink lover will be able to enjoy the taste and aroma of an invigorating elixir for a long time.

Aluminum
Any tableware made of aluminum material is very convenient for hiking, the same goes for enamel structures. A distinctive feature of aluminum is low weight and low cost. Accordingly, an accidentally forgotten cezve in a pile of ash at a picnic will not make you upset. The only drawback of the aluminum turkey is instability of the structure.
It is very easy to knock over and even wrinkle. Problems with scratches occur quite often.
Aluminum Turks are far from ideal in appearance, often the shape of the products resembles a ladle or a kind of coffee pot. The classic appearance is extremely rare. Sophisticated coffee lovers are repulsed by the design of the structure, which can in no way become a decoration of the kitchen space.

Wall shape and thickness
The classic shape of a Turkish coffee is simply obliged to have a traditional appearance, namely, a narrow neck and a wide bottom, the width of the top and bottom should differ twice. The narrow neck of the Turks helps to minimize the open area of the product, due to which the drink is covered with more churned foam on top. It is in this cap that the extraordinary aroma of the drink is preserved, and the evaporation of essential oils is blocked.
In addition, the narrowed neck relative to the bottom indicates a strong inclination of the side walls of the product. This factor plays an important role in the boiling process of the drink. Due to the peculiarities of the design, the coffee does not rise up, but, on the contrary, flows down, concentrating on the bottom.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-36.jpg)

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2019/05/turka-ustrojstvo-vybor-i-pravila-ispolzovaniya-37.jpg)
There are several opinions on the issue of wall thickness. Some claim that 1.5 mm is the ideal design characteristic.
And in principle, this is a well-founded opinion against jazz with a thickened base.
The main thing is that the thick bottom of the structure does not have thin walls. This fact indicates the connection of two parts of the product, which may be the reason for reduced reliability. This is especially pronounced with frequent temperature changes. And the adhesive seam itself is not always made of high-quality metal. Alloys of suspicious origin are often used.
If the whole Turkish structure has thick walls, then the device will quickly give off the accumulated heat, only during the cooking process it will be much more difficult to control the boiling time.

It will be especially difficult to keep track of a coffee drink prepared in a thick-walled Turk on the sand.
Special attention should be paid to the size of the cezve. It is believed that the classical design should not have a volume of more than 100 ml. Usually they make about 50 or 75 ml of coffee. Experienced coffee makers claim that to treat many people, you should make 50 ml of coffee at a time. Firstly, it will turn out to surprise the guests with quality, and secondly, please with the quantity. The main thing is that it will turn out to surprise those present with the peculiarities of the drink.
In modern models, in addition to the bright design, there are additional nuances. For example, many designs of the Turks are complemented by a cover. And the handles do not always have a comfortable shape, most often they play a decorative role in the dishes.

Selection depending on the type of plate
Numerous debates among coffee lovers about which Turk is the best will never end. The reason for these disputes is not only the peculiarity of the preparation of the coffee drink, but also the characteristics of the stoves. After all, every housewife knows that dishes intended for an electric stove cannot always withstand the operation of a gas burner. So, for example, for a stove with a standard gas connection, equipped with several variants of burners with an open flame, you should choose metal models of cez, made of copper, steel, brass and even bronze.

Their only drawback is that the unusual design coating burns when interacting with an open fire.
To avoid spoiling the appearance of the Turks, it is necessary to use a divider, which is a separator between the flames and the dishes. If the gas stove divider is used on a permanent basis, Turks made from ceramics, glass, porcelain or clay can be used.
For owners of glass-ceramic slabs, quartz cezve is suitable. It has long been proven that quartz is not afraid of contact with open fire. Modern glass-ceramic hobs have a special coating on which utensils made of any material can be placed. The main thing is that the bottom is smooth... For this reason, the owners of glass-ceramic stoves can acquire several varieties of Turks, each of which will allow them to prepare special coffee recipes. But the coffee drink should be brewed on the extreme side of the largest burner so that the Turkish handle extends beyond the stove.

The most suitable option for induction cookers are Turks made of steel or with a ferromagnetic bottom.
When choosing a cezve in a specialized store, you need to pay special attention to device compatibility with induction cookers... Alternatively, it is suggested to purchase a dedicated adapter.
For electric stoves, it is supposed to use a Turkish made of metal. The material of the device allows the hostess to put the cezve on a heated surface without worrying about spoiling the dishes. And yet, despite the modern technological progress, the most delicious and aromatic coffee is made on the sand. For the sand recipe, thin-walled Turks made of brass or bronze are used. It is better not to consider other options for the material.

It is important for modern housewives to remember that In no case should a Turk be washed with cleaning agents, and a container for making coffee is not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
Care
Owners of dishes that give a morning drink of vigor should know the peculiarities of caring for this item. Aggressive detergents should not be used to wash most types of Turks. For example, a clay turk very quickly absorbs the chemical smell of purifiers, and accordingly, it will give off unpleasant odors to the brewing drink. The cezve should be rinsed after every coffee preparation. To do this, it is enough to use a small pressure of water from the tap.
Copper turk is the most durable, but can lose its natural luster over time. Inside and outside, it becomes covered with a dark coating. In such cases, copper care products can be used. But if that was not enough, you can use other cleaning options that are located on the kitchen shelves.For example, you can clean the darkened walls of a turk with lemon, apply lemon juice to the surface of coffee utensils, wait a few minutes, and then rinse.

Glass cezves are not picky about their care. They can be washed with gel or special dishwashing detergent.
The main thing is to use the soft side of the sponge, otherwise scratches will appear on the glass, which will deteriorate the appearance of the dishes. It is undesirable to use products made on the basis of ordinary soap. Otherwise, after drying, a cloudy bloom appears on the walls of the Turks.
Unpleasant odor in ceramics can be another problem. Regular soda will help get rid of it. It is dissolved in a small amount of water, poured into the cooking container, and left overnight. In the morning, the dishes are rinsed first with hot water, then with cold... After carrying out these manipulations, you can safely start preparing new varieties of coffee drink.
