After recently trying some delicious Turkish coffee, I was on the prowl for a coffee maker that makes it in the same style. And that’s when I came across this one. So, feel free to read my Arzum Okka Automatic Turkish Coffee and Hot Beverage Maker review, as I list all the pros and cons of this interesting machine.
Quick Rating
What Is Turkish Coffee?
Before we review this machine, let’s first talk about Turkish coffee for those who don’t know much about it. Turkish coffee is where the coffee beans are ground to an extremely fine consistency, almost resembling a fine powder. This coffee powder is then mixed with water and sugar in a special pot called a “cezve” or “ibrik.” The mixture is heated slowly, allowing the coffee grounds to settle and create a frothy layer on top.
Unlike other coffee brewing methods, Turkish coffee is never filtered, ensuring that the coffee’s full flavor and essence remain in the cup. This results in a rich, intense, and full-bodied brew.
Now, let’s get into the review.
All-in-one Design
This design benefits from me not only being able to make Turkish coffee but also a wide variety of different powdered hot drinks, like hot chocolate and salep. I tried these other options, and they all tasted great!
How It Looks
This machine looks amazing. The bronze copper design on the coffee maker really accentuates the whole timeless look to it, and it feels very sturdy and non-plasticky.
It has a nice-looking button section at the top, with four options: classic, strong, slow brew, and milk coffee. All I had to do was put all the ingredients in the maker, press the button, and it was good to go.
How It Tastes
I must say, as a fan of Turkish coffee, that I loved this machine. I found that it made coffee at a similar quality to the real thing done by hand and all my friends that came round to try it loved it!
I found the strong and slow brew options were especially good, the classic less so. The milk coffee option took a bit of time to get used to the interesting taste, but overall I really enjoyed all the options the machine had.
Cleaning This Machine
This is the main negative of this machine. I had to wash it by hand; this took a long while and also was a pain to do. As I’m used to many automatic coffee machines that have an automatic cleaning function, you can see why I didn’t like this aspect!
