Hi everyone,
My dad recently bought a rough looking old Ibrik from a garage sale because he wanted to have a go at making some traditional Turkish/Greek style coffee.
(my grandfather was from Tegea in Sparta, and it wasnt that cool to be Greek boy in Orange NSW when he was growing up, but hes getting more and more drawn to it as he gets older, anyhow....)
Anyhow, hes got pretty darn good at it, and although Im still loving my espresso of a morning, Id like to make a afternoon Greek style coffee.
I think part of my dads success has been this old Ibrik which he got at a garage sale. Its copper, with an unusually heavy base (most I have found have been thin) and I wanted some advice on whether its better to have a thick heavy, and if so, can anyone know where I can get one? (since all the ones Ive found have been thin bottomed).
Also, any advice on Greek/Turkish coffee beans would be appreciated also... Ive only ever seen it in ground form?
Cheers,
Hubris.
