Don't get funny.  You will have the Czarina to answer to.

That sounds like a challenge.  :)

Keep in mind the balance or the Ibirk.  I noticed the pot cannot withstand too much addition weight on the handle or it will tip over.

Whoa.... this is a magic Ibirk.

I baked the coffee and a little sugar,

Quote
How to bake Turkish coffee:
1.   Add coffee and sugar in ibrik and stir
2.   Once sugar start caramelizing, add half ibrik of water and stir until all sugar is dissolved
3.   Add water to the top
4.   Wait for water to boil, and remove ibrik right before coffee overflows
5.   Wait few seconds to settle
6.   Distribute one scoop of crust to each cup
7.   Pour the coffee to the cups
8.   Wait few moments for coffee to settle, and serve


then added the water and the pot started spinning.... I tried to stop it and it started again.  So I went and grabbed the camera and took this video.  Interestingly it stopped spinning a few seconds before it boiled.  I wonder if it was designed that way.  Oh and it only spun clockwise, I tried to get it to spin the other way and it stopped and turned clockwise again.  I wonder if it would spin counter clockwise South of the equator?

They spin the other way south of the equator.

I like that they designed the auto-agitation feature into it.

It seems to turn at a rate of 30 RPM.

That's the exact rate you want for perfect Turkish coffee!  Imagine that!

Now for the cup.

I used Panama Elida.... I have to say what a waste.  Too sweet and a hair bitter.  I think maybe an Africa coffee might be better suited for this brew method. 

Next round will be without sugar too.

There's got to be a way to calculate why that does that...if you change the amount of water does it spin faster or slower or the same?  What if it's empty?

With just the coffee and sugar in it, it doesn't move.... only once I added the water.

Haha, I have never seen that.  Magic, magic.
I don't remeber last time I baked coffee as I can not have sugar.

I ordered them that way.

Whirling dervishes only spin counter-clockwise, regardless of relationship to Equator.  Ibriks on the other hand are designed to spin the opposite, clockwise.

I stopped at Chad's favorite spice store after work and picked up some whole seed cardamom http://www.thespicehouse.com.  The clerk said to use 5-10 whole seeds for about 14 oz of coffee, cracking them, and dropping pod and seeds into the pot with the coffee.  No grinding, no mortar and pestle, no grating.  Pour off coffee, leaving pods and coffee behind in pot.


Editorial insert - sugar would gag me.

Magic Ibirk arrived today...looking it over it probably spun due to the less than flat bottom. I'm going to try it out in the morning with some full city santa rita natural.

Tried the "Ibirk" twice this week. The full city Santa Rita natural was much too bitter. I found it unpalatable. Tried it today with the Columbian Huila roasted to a city+. Tastes sweet and underextracted, but very palatable. Actually really enjoyed it. Tea like...

Did not try the "baked method". I really can't stomach sugar in my coffee anymore. A few years ago I would have needed about 10tsp to make it drinkable. Now well... things changed.  :)

On to Jim on monday....

Can we have an update on where each of the Ibriks is?  Reviews, impressions, 1st looks invited.
