Brass Ibrik (μπρίκι), add water, coffee and sugar, put it on fire (better yet, really hot sand, don't ask me how/where to find it). Once the water starts to boil, remove Ibrik from fire, and serve in a cup. Add milk to taste. This will have a coffee with froth (καϊμάκι), though some people prefer their coffee without. In that case, you remove the Ibrik from the flame, and as soon as the water settles down again, you put it back on the fire for a second boil.
The Ibrik does not really need to be brass, though that is the traditional one. You could make it with an electrical stove, though usually it's done with open flame (CampingGaz stove or equivalent). As for the sand, you will usually encounter it in the shops that need to make a lot of them. More or less it's a pan filled with sand, and left on an open fire. The sand will get hot, and it will retain the heat, so it can boil the water.
