Copper Teapots & Coffee Pots

Why choose copper?

Copper is one of the best conductors of heat used in the kitchen, so water comes to temperature quickly and evenly. It has been part of Anatolian kitchens for centuries, and the eastern city of Erzincan is well known for its copperwork, which is where the ACAR Erzincan designs take their name. Over time copper develops a warm patina; some people love it, and others polish it back to a bright shine.

Copper teapot sets

A Turkish teapot set usually follows the çaydanlık design: a larger kettle for boiling water below, with a smaller pot on top for brewing strong tea. Choose the Large Engraved or Large Erzincan set for family gatherings, or the Small Erzincan set for one or two tea drinkers. Check each product page for exact contents and capacity. For stainless steel and other materials, browse our Turkish teapots.

Copper coffee pots

The ACAR copper coffee pots with wooden handles come in No. 4 and No. 5, and the Erzincan 4-piece set gives you several sizes at once. For stainless steel cezves and electric machines, see Turkish coffee pots and makers.

Caring for copper

• Wash by hand with warm soapy water and dry right away to prevent water spots.
• To restore the shine, rub with half a lemon dipped in salt, or use a copper cleaner, then rinse and dry.
• Avoid steel wool and harsh scouring pads, which scratch the surface.
• Never heat a copper pot empty. If the inside is tin-lined, check the product page and use only soft sponges inside.

Which stoves work with copper?

Copper works on gas, electric coil and ceramic stoves. It does not work on induction by itself; you'll need an induction adapter disc.
