The cezve — also known as an ibrik — is the traditional vessel for brewing Turkish coffee. When your cezve needs repair or restoration, our Westlands specialists are ready to help. Call 0709004600.
What Is a Cezve?
A cezve (pronounced "jezve") is a small, long-handled pot with a wide base and narrow neck, traditionally made from copper or brass, and sometimes from stainless steel or aluminium. It is used to brew finely ground coffee with water and sugar over low heat — a method dating back to the Ottoman Empire that UNESCO has recognised as part of Turkey's intangible cultural heritage.
Cezve Problems We Repair
Damaged or Loose Handles
Copper and brass cezve handles — often riveted or soldered — can loosen, crack, or snap. We re-rivet or re-solder handles, restoring safe use of your cezve.
Dents and Deformations
Copper and brass cezves can be dented from drops. We carefully reshape deformed cezve bodies without damaging the metal.
Tinning Restoration
Traditional copper cezves are coated on the inside with food-grade tin to prevent chemical reactions with coffee. When the tinning wears away, re-tinning is necessary for safe use. We advise on re-tinning services in Nairobi.
Tarnish and Patina Cleaning
Copper and brass tarnish over time. We clean and polish cezves to restore their original lustre.
Cracked or Worn Spout Area
The narrow neck and spout of a cezve can develop cracks or wear. We assess and advise on metalwork restoration for damaged spout areas.
Serving Nairobi's Turkish Coffee Community
We serve customers across Nairobi who use cezves for home brewing, hospitality, and specialty café service. Our Westlands workshop handles both functional repairs and aesthetic restoration.
