Ibrik

A Turkish cezve, also called a Greek μπρίκι (bríki)

An ibrik is a long-handled metal pot used to make Turkish coffee.[1] The word comes into English from Ottoman Turkish ابریق (ibrik, ıbrık, “ewer”) (modern Turkish ibrik), from Arabic إِبْرِيق (ʔibrīq), ultimately from Persian آب (âb, “water”) + the present stem of the verb ریختن (rêxtan, “to pour”).

Although the Turkish word ibrik, derived from Persian through Arabic, denotes simply a pitcher or ewer, the term is often used in English to mean a Turkish coffee pot, which is known in Turkish as a cezve.
