What is a sand kaffa?

A sand kaffa, also known as a sand coffee, is a traditional method of brewing coffee in some Middle Eastern and North African cultures. It involves heating sand in a container and then placing coffee pots, called cezves or ibriks, into the hot sand to brew the coffee evenly. This method allows for precise temperature control, enhancing the flavor of the coffee. The sand kaffa is often associated with communal coffee preparation and serves as a social ritual in many regions.
