The Arzum Okka Automatic Turkish Coffee Maker is designed for coffee enthusiasts who desire authentic, perfectly brewed Turkish coffee with rich foam at the touch of a button. Its key benefit is the effortless brewing process, delivering consistent results in under 1.5 minutes, with an added "Slow Brew" option for deeper flavour development.

FAQs
What type of coffee grounds should I use?
You must use very finely ground Turkish coffee. Standard espresso or filter coffee grinds are too coarse and will not produce the correct results or foam.
How long does the standard brew take?
The standard brew cycle for 1 or 2 cups takes approximately 1.5 minutes.
Can I add sugar and spices directly to the machine?
Yes, you can add sugar, cardamom, or other desired spices along with the coffee grounds and water into the brewing chamber before starting the brew cycle.
How does the "Slow Brew" function differ?
The "Slow Brew" function extends the brewing time to about 5 minutes, allowing for a deeper extraction of flavour and a richer coffee experience. It may produce less foam than the standard quick brew.
Is the cleaning process complicated?
No, the Arzum Okka features a one-touch self-cleaning function. After brewing, simply press the cleaning button, and the machine will rinse itself.
What is the purpose of the altitude detection system?
The auto altitude detection system automatically adjusts the boiling temperature based on your elevation. This prevents the coffee from boiling over or brewing improperly at different altitudes, ensuring consistent quality.
What is the warranty period for the Arzum Okka?
The Arzum Okka comes with a 2-year warranty, providing peace of mind for your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the machine and a working wall socket. Check if the power outlet is functioning correctly.
Coffee is not brewing or brewing incorrectly.
Verify that the water level is correct. Ensure you are using finely ground Turkish coffee. Check that the brewing chamber lid is properly closed.
Little to no foam is produced.
This can sometimes be due to the coffee grind fineness or water temperature. Ensure the coffee is very finely ground and use cold water. The "Slow Brew" function may also produce less foam than the standard quick brew.
Self-cleaning function does not seem to work.
Ensure the machine has finished the brewing cycle and is in standby mode. Follow the specific instructions for initiating the cleaning cycle as per the user manual.
Machine is making unusual noises.
Some operational noise is normal. However, if the noise is excessive or sounds like grinding, check for any blockages in the brewing mechanism or ensure all parts are correctly assembled.
