No charcoal, no open flame — plug it in, fill it, and the samovar keeps the water at brewing temperature for as long as your gathering needs. In Turkish households, tea is not served once and finished; it flows continuously throughout the visit. The Caykolik is designed for exactly that rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4.1 liters, it holds enough for a long afternoon of tea service without needing to be refilled mid-gathering. Korkmaz is one of Turkey's most trusted kitchenware brands, and the Caykolik electric samovar is among their best-known products in diaspora kitchens across the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fill the lower boiler with cold water and switch on the samovar. Add loose black tea to the small teapot on top and pour a little hot water over it to brew a strong concentrate. To serve, pour a small amount of the concentrate into a tea glass, then fill with hot water from the samovar's tap — each person adjusts the ratio to their own taste. The samovar keeps everything at serving temperature for hours without reboiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/turkish-coffee-tea\"\u003eTurkish tea glass sets\u003c\/a\u003e for a complete serving setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.1 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korkmaz Caykolik\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V (US compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Rootsware · Crafted in Turkey\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Selected This Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Rootsware, we carry electric samovars because they represent the ultimate tea station for a household that drinks tea throughout the day. The samovar — originally a Russian word for a vessel that \"self-boils\" — arrived in Turkish culture via the Ottoman trade routes and became the centerpiece of serious tea service. An electric samovar keeps water hot continuously and the upper teapot at steeping temperature for hours, which is exactly how tea is consumed in Turkish, Iranian, and Central Asian households.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use an Electric Samovar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFill the lower vessel with water to the fill line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd loose tea to the upper teapot — 1 tablespoon per cup of water in the upper pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug in and switch on.
