In Istanbul, specially designed sand-heated copper pots known as "cezve" are filled with water, coffee, and sugar, and placed on heated sand. This method allows for gentle and controlled heat distribution, enhancing the flavors and aromas of the coffee. With the pot nestled in the warm sand, it gradually reaches the desired temperature, resulting in a rich, flavorful brew.
