Acezve (Turkish:cezve,pronounced[dʒezˈve]ⓘ;Serbo-Croatian:džezva /џезва;Arabic:جِذوَة), alsoibriki/briki (Greek:μπρίκι) orsrjep (Armenian:սրճեփ), is a small long-handled pot with a pouring lip designed specifically to makeTurkish coffee, and certain forms ofArabic coffee.[1] It is traditionally made of brass or copper, occasionally alsosilver orgold. In more recent timescezveler are also made from stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramics.
The namecezve is ofTurkish origin, where it is a borrowing fromArabic:جِذوَة (jadhwa orjidhwa, meaning 'ember').
Thecezve is also known as anibrik, a Turkish word fromArabicإبريق (ʿibrīq). This term was loaned from medievalEastern Aramaic forms inʾaḇrēqā, and originated inNew Persian*ābrēž (cf.Farsiābrēz), fromMiddle Persian*āb-rēǰ, ultimately fromOld Persian*āp- 'water' +*raiča- 'pour' (New Persianریختن [rêxtan]).[2][3]
Other variants are ghalaya, bakraj, briki, rakwa,túrka (Турка) inRussian and kanaka.
In Modern Hebrew, it is called afinjan (פינג'אן).Arabic coffee is commonly consumed inIsrael,[4] but in theArab world,فِنْجَانfinjān always refers tothecup, not the pot in which it is prepared. Thesemantic shift may have originated with Jews of theYishuv, who did not speak fluent Arabic and misunderstood the equipment used byPalestinians inNazareth, who served them coffee.[5]
In Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czechia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia, thecezve is a long-necked coffee pot. In Turkish anibrik is not a coffee pot, but simply a pitcher orewer.
