A (Template:Langx, ; Template:Lang-sh-Latn-Cyrl; Template:Langx), also Template:Transliteration/Template:Transliteration (Template:Langx) or Template:Transliteration (Template:Langx), is a small long-handled pot with a pouring lip designed specifically to make Turkish coffee. It is traditionally made of brass or copper, occasionally also silver or gold. In more recent times are also made from stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramics.

Name

The name is of Turkish origin, where it is a borrowing from Template:Langx (Template:Transliteration or Template:Transliteration, meaning 'ember').

The is also known as an , a Turkish word from Arabic (Template:Transliteration), from Aramaic (), from early Modern Persian Template:Transliteration (cf. Modern Persian Template:Transliteration), from Middle Persian Template:Transliteration, ultimately from Old Persian Template:Transliteration 'water' + Template:Transliteration 'pour' (cf. Modern Persian and Middle Persian [[[:Template:Transliteration]]]).

Other names are briki, rakwa, Template:Transliteration () in Russian and kanaka.

In Modern Hebrew, it is called Template:Transliteration (). Arabic coffee is commonly consumed by both Jews and Arabs in Israel, but in the Arab world, the word Template:Transliteration Template:Langx always refers to a cup for drinking coffee, not the pot in which it is prepared. The semantic shift in Hebrew may have originated when pre-1948 Jewish settlers, who did not speak fluent Arabic, misunderstood the equipment used by Arabs in Nazareth who invited them to drink coffee.
