Use Bikri to Make Rich Turkish Coffee

Author: hostarticles | Posted: 07.12.2011

Bikri is traditional coffee maker from Turkey. A 100% pure copper or brass is used to prepare this utensil. It has an elegant look that can easily be a part of any kitchen, whether you use it or just display it in a showcase. Actually, the word Bikri is Greek word and its Turkish counterpart is known as Cezve. The utensil has a distinct look of its own. What we find in the traditional cups or the coffee mugs is their handles are smaller compared to their bodies. Also, the handle is square or semi-circular in the cups. But in the case of brikiBikri, the handle is just the reverse. The handle has an unusual shape and is neither square nor circular. It is not smaller than the body rather it is the longest part of the entire coffee maker.

Bikri is actually used when we prepare tea or coffee. With the help of that long handle, one can get a firm grip of the container. Also due to the uncanny long handle, there is no chance of any accident from the flame. The way coffee is prepared in this container will come as a surprise to you. The way coffee is traditionally prepared is much different from the way it is prepared in Bikri. Also, the most favored espresso coffee among the people and its great taste is no match to the coffee prepared in Bikri.

The best part of preparing coffee by brikiBikri is that the thickness and taste of milk is most felt by this process. Obviously, you need to put some extra effort to prepare this coffee rather than the readymade coffee we are so accustomed to drink. These efforts are thus of no pain at all. The beverage to be prepared must be done at a very low flame. Otherwise, the taste of the coffee will not remain as the same as it’s famed known for.
