It's a gem! Due to stomach and esophagitis, I only drink Greek coffee, which helped me overcome esophagitis. However, I needed quite a few minutes in the morning over the briki to make it the way I want it, while the electric briki that are circulating did not convince me that they would give a similar result in taste. I was on a business trip and spending a few hours in the business lounge at Istanbul airport, I asked the employee to make me Greek coffee. There I saw that they were using some large professional machines for Greek coffee with the brand ARZUM. Returning, I searched and found this particular version for home use. I was thrilled with the result and highly recommend it!
However, pay attention to the following:
It's not for you
- If you do not intend to spend time reading the instructions and testing to achieve the desired result but you are one of those who will simply plug it in and then complain
- If you only like devices that are more "design" as it is of Turkish design
- If you only drink Greek coffee on occasion as its price is much higher than an electric briki
It's for you
- Read the instructions and then try patiently to achieve the result you want and find solutions for small problems that may arise due to use that may deviate from the average. A simple example. I drink strong Greek coffee and the amount of coffee I put in the briki requires me to fill it with the maximum amount of water. However, the indicator of the maximum inside the briki is not clearly visible, so I overcame it resulting in the coffee overflowing at maximum swelling. Eventually, because the indicator is embossed, I search for it with my finger when I put water in the briki and make sure it fills up until the water reaches the finger. So no problem, the coffee is prepared on its own in a few minutes without spilling and with perfect taste and foam. Another example is that you should normally unplug the machine from the socket every time, which is easily solved by using a voltage protection socket with a switch and opening and closing the switch.
- You systematically drink Greek coffee and do not want to wait over the briki but to put it on and forget about it.
- You are more interested in the result than the price.
- You will spend a little time cleaning the sensor, spending half a minute after each coffee to wipe it and not leave it covered.

After 5 years of use, it still makes very good coffee, so I bought a second one for the office. The opinions of those who tried it are that it is the closest they have tried to Greek coffee in a briki on the gas stove compared to an electric briki. Perhaps it is the surface at the bottom of the boiler that makes the difference and the coffee comes out so good.
The device is nothing more than an electric bulky briki. It does not have an overflow avoidance mechanism, only a low-intensity sound notification light. I have to constantly be on top of it to prevent the coffee from spilling. It is far from the Beko coffee maker that I had here for seven years and unfortunately broke after so much use. If you need a coffee maker for Greek coffee, definitely choose something else.
The device makes very good coffee and very quickly without worrying if the coffee will spill.
It requires a good stirring before roasting.
Unfortunately, it didn't even make 10 coffees as we were caught in quarantine at the country house. When the jug is on top and we press the button to start preparing our coffee, it triggers the leakage relay. Without the jug, the problem does not occur.
We are expecting a response from the store for a solution within the warranty.
Anyway, it seemed very high quality and very aesthetically pleasing.
I haven't bought it, but I use it every day at work (making coffees)... I like the Greek one and if you follow the instructions, not only will it become a habit because they are easy, but the coffee is really wonderful.
75ml single 1 spoonful of coffee - 125ml double 2 spoonfuls of coffee
Personally, I think 150ml that I put, with 2 spoonfuls of coffee, is really wonderful.
It's worth it!
I have it for a few days and I was disappointed from the first coffee. The coffee is roasted too quickly and its taste is not rich. It doesn't make good foam. It's not worth its money.
I bought the machine for professional use as I have a café. My customers are more than satisfied because the machine makes amazing coffee with a lot of cream and very good taste. I highly recommend it
