Turkish Coffee Pots (kanaka, cezve, džezva, ibrik)

I had an excellent enameled cast-iron coffee pot that I acquired from George's Liquor and Deli, but an accident during a move between apartments resulted in it becoming unusable. It was manufactured in Serbia and was of very good quality; the iron was thick and the enamel was solid. I have looked around a little, and I have only found ones of very flimsy manufacture, with the enamel already flaking or compromised, as the Asian-manufactured ones at Al-Khyam.

Does anybody have any suggestions, or have they spotted them elsewhere? I would prefer something of good quality, ideally of manufactured of iron on account of its thermal properties, and I would be quite happy with one like the ones that George's used to sell before they closed shop. I would prefer to avoid copper for a number of reasons, among them the need to re-tin.

You might try Srpska Tradicija (3615 W Lawrence) in Albany Park. It's primarily a crafts store, with much of the stock imported from Serbia. I think I remember seeing џезве/džezve but I'm not certain. Even if they don't have exactly what you're looking for, they might be able to direct you to someone who does. If you were a fan of George's, you're probably already familiar with these Serbian delicatessens: Lalich (4208 W Lawrence; also in Niles), Beograd (2937 W Irving Park) and Sandy's (5857 W Lawrence). I don't recall the housewares selection at Lalich or Beograd and I still haven't been to Sandy's.

Hi,

Do you have a link to a picture of this pot?
