The material of the pot also affects the taste of the coffee.

Originally cezves were made of copper, but now there are many alternatives. If your coffee tastes strange, chances are that the pot you have chosen is made from the wrong material.

Cezves are mostly made of copper, stainless steel, or brass.

A cezve made of brass doesn’t rust and is less corrosive that copper, so it will serve you for a long time.
A copper cezve also doesn’t rust, but it is subject to corrosion, so most of these cezves are coated with a layer of tin from the inside.
A stainless-steel cezve is very practical. It’s easy to clean and lasts longer than any other alternative. However, this cezve heats up much faster than the pots made of other materials, so it’s highly probable that the coffee will burn.

You should not buy a ceramic or aluminum cezve. Ceramic pots tend to absorb the smell of the coffee, and aluminum can change the authentic taste of the drink.
