These are Turkish cups, in which Turkish coffee is served. I personally have a full set of these, which I love to whip out whenever I’ve boiled myself Turkish coffee. These particular cups are ones I found searching through Amazon. If you click into them, you can purchase them for yourself, too.

A Turkish Coffee Flashback

– Storytime –

When I was a younger adult, my grandfather used to love pampering me over a cup of Turkish coffee. Whenever I came over (and in later years, I double the demand because my husband would accompany me there), he’d bend over his stove, and lovingly watch over the “feenjan”, a copperpot in which the coffee is prepared.

It’s been years since I sipped on his delicious cup. He’s gone now, and though I miss him dearly, he left with me with fond memories that include afternoons filled with laughter (he used to tell a mean joke in his day!) over this sweet drink.

A "Cezve"

I always referred to this as a "feenjahn", mainly because this was what we called it where I grew up.

The actual coffee!

This is the brand I used to drink, having been raised in Israel.
