Ethiopian coffee pot (Jebena)
Bought this Ethiopian coffee pot (Jebena) for $21 at a thrift store.
Material: It is often made of pottery (fired clay) by hand.
Usage: Place directly over coals or a low flame (or on a stove with a suitable base/heat diffuser) until the water boils with the coffee.
Flavor: Many believe that earthenware gives coffee a distinctive taste, and also allows the coffee grounds to settle at the bottom of the pot without the need for a paper filter.
Ideal for serving coffee during gatherings.
A heritage and decorative piece; even when not in use, it is a distinctive aesthetic element in the kitchen or living room.
