Jebena

Jebena

Jebena are used to brew the coffee in the Ethiopian and Eritrean coffee ceremony. It is usually made of clay and has a spherical base, a neck and pouring spout and a handle where the neck connects with the base.

Typically when the coffee boils up through the neck it is poured in and out of another container to cool it, and then is put back into the jebena until it happens again. To pour the coffee from the jebena a filter made from horsehair or other material is placed in the spout of the jebena to prevent the grounds from escaping. In Ethiopia a Cini, a small clay cup is used to contain the coffee poured from the Jebena. [ [http://www.ethiopianrestaurant.com/ethiopian_coffee.html Jebena and cini] ]

There is a small restaurant in Ethiopia made in an image of an Ethiopian Jebena figure. [ [http://www.ethiopianrestaurant.com/et/addisababa.html Jebena shaped restaurant] ]
