Your jebana will arrive with the woven ring and matching wooden stopper.This is a very special item to use or just to admire. The jebana is a handmade clay vessel used in traditional Ethiopian coffee preparation. The bottom is rounded and sits in a specially woven ring, or sometimes directly in sand. And hey, this jebana is the real thing! so dive in and USE it. Being handmade, sizes vary somewhat between pots. Jebanas are fragile and may be shipped separately from the rest of your order. Details (hint. When you get your jebana, you'll need to prepare if for use before making coffee the first time.

Add finely ground coffee and boil. Be careful that the grounds don't boil
