Cool hope you enjoy it , I first had some at a Turkish Restaurant, then I searched the web on how to make my own. Just be sure to read the directions on Natasha's site or this site is helpful too.

Well, the ibrik and coffee arrived on Thursday, and I made my first attempt at it that night. It will require some practice to get everything just right, but the first cup surprised me. Not overly strong, very smooth, with a bright yet full bodied, mildly sweet flavor. I took the recommendations from Natasha's and several other sites and sipped slowly, enjoying the flavor. Well worth the money spent.

I'm glade you liked it funny with all the technology and all the coffee gadgets out there, how one of the very first brewing methods can still make a dam good cup.

i picked up an aeropress the other day and have used it twice with pretty good results. it's not as clean as people have said (clean in terms of the mess it creates), although much cleaner than other french press alternatives.

sweetmarias.com has a detailed step-by-step on using this gadget...and it does make a clean cup. i'm using it at the office where it's a much better alternative to spending $2 on a cup of awful sbux.

I wonder if maybe a special ac cord from Synergistic Research would help?
Maybe a Cardas AC cord will make a smoother cup?
MIT might make it muddy, and silver too harsh i would imagine.

At what stage are you getting a mess? I find that after I push out the "puck" of grounds that's left after pressing, a quick rinse and wipe down is all that's required.

Nothing high tech here...I pour boiling water through a small, hand-held fine mesh strainer. Seems to work okay. Maybe a minute or two to make a cup. Quick clean up. Maybe I'm missing out on something
