Cezve/Ibrik Championship

The Cezve/Ibrik Championship, a competition that pays tribute to one of the world’s oldest brewing traditions and is expected to be an especially fitting addition to the World of Coffee Dubai show floor. The cezve, also known as an ibrik, is a small pot with a long handle and distinctive flared brim, traditionally crafted from copper, brass, or ceramic.

By staging this championship in Dubai, the event honors local cultural heritage while spotlighting the global specialty coffee community in a city that is rapidly becoming a hub for innovation, trade, and cultural exchange in coffee.
