The 2 oz (60 cc) capacity is the traditional mirra size, and the hand-painted detail gives these cups the character of something made to be noticed at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMirra — the unsweetened, cardamom-spiced Arabic coffee of the Gulf — is always served in small cups, always refilled freely, and always presented with attention to how the service looks. The Emma cups bring a considered decorative detail to that ritual without losing the simplicity of the small-cup format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cups with holders, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/turkish-coffee-tea\"\u003emirra cup sets with holders\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 oz (60 cc) each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emma — hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirra \/ Arabic coffee cup\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 Turkish coffee pots because Turkish coffee is not a drink you make in a machine. The cezve — the long-handled pot brewed directly on the stovetop — is the tool for one of the oldest coffee rituals in the world, recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. We selected these for households that brew properly: on low heat, with patience, watching the foam rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew Turkish Coffee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse cold water — one small cup (2–3 oz) per serving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd 1 heaped teaspoon of finely ground Turkish coffee per cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd sugar now if desired: az şekerli (a little), orta (medium), çok şekerli (sweet). Do not stir after this point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace on the lowest heat available. Stir once gently at the beginning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWatch carefully — do not walk away. As the coffee heats, foam rises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJust before it boils, spoon the foam into the cup, then return to heat briefly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePour slowly. Wait 30 seconds before drinking — the grounds settle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever boil Turkish coffee. The moment it boils, the foam is lost and the flavor changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse immediately after use — coffee residue hardens quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash with mild soap. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on copper or stainless steel versions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor copper pots: occasional polishing with a copper cleaner maintains the finish. The inside lining (tin or stainless) should not be scrubbed aggressively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry completely before storing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with gas and electric stovetops.

Brewing more than the pot's intended capacity produces uneven results — choose the size that matches your actual serving number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use pre-ground coffee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTurkish coffee must be ground to a very fine powder — finer than espresso. Standard pre-ground coffee is too coarse. Look for coffee labeled \"Turkish grind\" or have it ground at a specialty coffee shop. Brands like Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi are widely available in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did my coffee not foam?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThree common causes: heat too high (foam burns off before it forms), coffee not fresh (stale coffee doesn't foam well), or water added hot instead of cold. Start with cold water, lowest heat setting, and fresh fine-ground coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs copper or stainless steel better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCopper heats faster and more evenly — it is the traditional material and produces excellent results. Stainless steel is more durable and low-maintenance. Both make excellent Turkish coffee when used correctly. Copper requires occasional re-tinning of the interior if the lining wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I make Turkish coffee on an induction stove?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard copper and some stainless cezves are not induction compatible. If you cook on induction, look for cezves labeled induction-ready, or use an induction adapter disc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rootsware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916706349354,"sku":"37023","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6360\/1194\/files\/37023.jpg?v=1782267515","url":"https:\/\/rootsware.com\/products\/emma-mirra-arabic-coffee-cups-6-piece","provider":"Rootsware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
