I looked them up but it still doesn't make to much sense to me. All I found was a bunch of tiny pots.

It's like Cowboy coffee. You boil the heck out of it and wait for the grounds to settle. I tried it once at a Vietnamese place down the street form my office and it wrecked me. To strong for my taste and super sweet. It was to the point where it was syrupy. Good still but strong.

Is it like Vietnamese coffee?

[This coffe starts with the coffe stove-a tin box about 2 inches deep by 10 inches wide by 12-14 inches long filled with sand and heated with a carbide burner underneath. The " coffe pot " is a small copper pot with an opening on top of approximately 2 inches and tapers down to a bottom about 3 inches wide and has a hollow rolled sheet copper handle about 6-7 inches long. It has a liquid capacity of about 5-6 ounces . The next piece of equiptment is the kettle , also copper and with a cappacity of about 1 quart . This is kept at one end of the " stove " where it stays very hot but does not boil.

The coffe is made by placing a heaping tablespoon of very fine ( powdered ) coffe in the little pot with a teaspoon of sugar and then is topped of with hot water from the kettle to about 1/2 inch from the top. The little pot is then nestled into the sand on the hotest spot over the burner --time passes--then just as the coffe foams up , lift the little pot by it's long handle and then after the foam subsides decant the ambrosia into an appropriate demi-tasse and then , perhaps accompanied with a marvelous Cypriot orange brandy, contemplate the Universe. Enjoy , I know I did.

I have been trying to purchase one of these in the SF Bay Area with no luck whatsoever.
I really don't want to order one online, but I may have to.
