Old World Brewing — Before the Machine

This is the coffee set that launched a thousand conversations. The Turkish coffee ceremony is one of the oldest and most refined coffee traditions on earth — recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013. With this stunning 12-piece DEMMEX set, you have everything needed to perform it properly.

The handcrafted copper cezve brings water and finely ground coffee slowly to temperature, developing the rich foam — called köpük — that is the mark of a perfectly made Turkish cup. The ornate cups, saucers, and lids are the same style used in coffeehouses across Istanbul, Athens, and Cairo for centuries. Coffee is always served with something sweet — sugar cubes, Turkish delight, or dates.

12-Piece Set Includes:
• 1 Handcrafted copper cezve (coffee pot) with wooden handle
• 2 Cups with metal holders and lids
• 2 Matching saucers
• 1 Decorative sugar bowl with lid

Handmade from light cedar in Costa Rica. Folds flat for travel. The cloth filter (bolsita) gets better with every use as it cures with coffee oils — richer, smoother, more flavorful every cup.

Includes: 1 handmade wooden stand + 1 reusable bolsita cloth filter. Folds to 10.5 x 5.5 x 1.25 inches.

This is how Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Cuba, and much of Latin America brewed coffee for generations — before paper filters, before machines. La media (the coffee sock) is a reusable flannel cloth filter with a wooden handle that produces a cup of extraordinary smoothness, letting the natural oils of the bean pass through while filtering out the grounds.

No paper. No plastic. No waste. Just cloth, coffee, and hot water — exactly as it has been done for over 200 years. The longer you use it, the better it gets as the cloth cures with coffee oils. Simply rinse with warm water after each use. Do not use soap.

The highest grade of Japanese tea. Ground to perfection in Uji, Kyoto.

Ceremonial grade matcha is in a category of its own.

It's the grade used in traditional Japanese tea ceremony, and the difference in quality is immediately obvious in the cup.

Naoki Matcha sources from Uji, Kyoto — Japan's most celebrated tea-growing region — harvesting only the first flush of young shade-grown leaves for maximum sweetness, umami depth, and vivid color. No bitterness. Just pure, grassy, oceanic depth.

Tasting Notes: Sweet Umami · Oceanic · Grassy · Creamy Finish
Grade: Ceremonial · Origin: Uji, Kyoto, Japan · Harvest: First Flush

The oldest brewing method in the world. Still unbeatable.

Turkish coffee is not a roast. It's not a flavor. It's a method — and it's been the definitive way to make coffee since the Ottoman Empire first brewed it in Constantinople in the 1500s. Ultra-fine ground coffee simmered in a copper cezve over low heat, served unfiltered in a small cup, thick and rich and crowned with a layer of foam that the best brewers consider a point of personal pride.

One sip and you understand why this method has survived 500 years unchanged.

The Cezve — The Only Tool You Need

This handcrafted copper cezve (pronounced "jez-veh") is the authentic Turkish coffee pot used in homes, cafés, and coffee competitions across Turkey, Greece, Bosnia, and the Arab world. The long handle keeps your hand cool while the copper body distributes heat evenly for the slow, controlled simmer that produces Turkish coffee's signature foam crown and velvety texture.

How to Brew Turkish Coffee

• Add cold water (use the cup as your measure), ultra-fine coffee, and sugar to taste
• Stir once before heating — never during
• Heat on low until foam rises to the top — remove before it boils
• Pour slowly into your cup, grounds settle naturally
• Wait 30 seconds, then drink

Product Details

• Hand-hammered copper construction
• Traditional wooden handle
• Available in 2-cup (small) and 4-cup gift set (with wood spoon & coffee)
• Works on gas, electric, and sand brewing stations
