BRIKI is valid in Collins, not in North America — 11 points
It depends on the list you play by. BRIKI is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 11 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does BRIKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A small, long-handled metal pot used for brewing Greek or Turkish style coffee.
A briki is set on heat with finely ground coffee, sugar and water, and the mixture is watched closely so the foam rises without boiling over. The same pot is called a cezve in Turkish and an ibrik in some other languages, so all three names point to the same simple piece of kitchen equipment. Its narrow neck helps the foam build up rather than escape.
