SAKI Turkish Coffee Maker, 120V, 1 to 4 Cup Brewing Capacity, 100% BPA-Free Electric Ember Function for Perfect of Turkish, Greek - Black

I am an utter failure at making a decent cup of Turkish coffee in the traditional "briki", but I love a good cup of Turkish coffee. I received this machine about a week ago, and have used it two or three times a day and so far, I am really happy with it. It's nicely made, with a heavy-duty three pronged plug. It arrived very carefully and securely packaged.Here is my experience --yours may vary:1. Do not tempt the Overflow Monster and try to make three or four cups unless your cups are very tiny--making a double brings the water level close to the max line on the inside of the pot.2. For richest flavor, I increased the amount of coffee per cup from a level spoon (comes with the unit) to one heaping spoon per cup.3. Stir the water, coffee, and sweetener well until smooth and blended before cooking.4. The "ember" function takes more time to cook the coffee, and results in a richer flavor, but the whole process is still very fast.5. A quick wash and rinse of the inside of the pot with a small amount of dish soap and hot water cleans it easily, but do not immerse the pot or pour water over the bottom element.6. Tasty and foamy results!

We visited Turkiye in Februrary and my husband fell in love with turkish coffee. We bought the coffee grains and the cezve to make the coffee at home. I watched lots of vids and I sort of got the hang of it but not quite. It requires low heat and my stove even at the lowest temperature is a bit high I think. I was skeptical about this machine but it makes the perfect turkish coffee. It's sooo easy to use and so fast. My husband is over the moon. I wanted to buy another one as a gift but it's currently sold out.

Very pleased with this Turkish coffee maker. Read a lot of the reviews on here, before buying. The one thing I see that’s pretty consistent is the possible overflow when making the 3-4 cup option. I’ve yet to try it, since I’ve only needed to make 2 cups at a time. That being said, when the coffee reaches a certain tempt, it rises up several inches, before falling back down. So I could see how 4 cups worth would likely be too much. 3 cups may be fine, though.Anyway, the machine is super simple to use. Literally you just hit a button; two buttons if you’re feeling fancy (ember function). If you do the ember function, make sure to hold down on it for a second or so, so that it locks on. My first couple cups I didn’t notice that I wasn’t actually activating it.I haven’t had Greek/Turkish coffee cooked over sand, yet- can’t speak for that in comparison. I have had Greek/Turkish coffee prepared on a gas stove with the little Turkish pot, though. I get it every time we go to Savannah. I feel like this coffee maker does a pretty great job getting that style down.

Let me clarify,You never can make 2 cups (real cup=mug) of coffee with this device to drink with your friends. What the product headline means by 4 cups is 4 tiny cultural Turkish cups. 4 of them barely make a 1 mug. So, you can make a maximum of 1 mug of coffee with this device!You might say, ''It's your mistake. Turkish coffee should be drunk by those little cultural cups.'' Well, look at the 4th picture of the product. That picture is totally a lie! Because there is a ''max limit'' line for the water in the coffee maker cup. That line in real is literally much much lower than that picture. You can never put that amount of water in the machine cup. That picture is totally deceptive. You can put barely half as much coffee as that picture shows. I mean, I didn't try to put more yet. But this is the rule that user guideline mandates.Except for this issue, it was a good experience for the first use. I'll update the review as long as I use it in the long run.Update 2: Look at the pictures to see what happened after 4 weeks. My return due is passed. I'll see whether the warrant process will be taking place!

A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend: "Wouldn't it be great if someone made a machine that could make Turkish/Greek coffee so that we don't have to stand over the gas and stir?"This conversation came up again a few weeks ago, and out of curiosity we searched if such a machine existed. To our joy a number had come on the market. We read the user reviews and decided to take a chance on the SAKI machine.It arrived as shown. It is light and compact. We immediately put it to the test, on the regular as well as the "Embers" settings with Turkish (Mehmet Efendi) and Greek (Bravo and Loumidis).The results were impressive. The machine makes the Turkish and Greek brands above to the same taste as a traditional over-gas method. Within less than 2 minutes, we made the same coffee quality that took close to 10 minutes to make over gas. It looks like the results are achieved because the machine is based on induction heating (I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like) which would make sense.We'll see how long the machine will last. Otherwise, we are alternating between Turkish and Greek coffee at least twice a week.

Pretty easy to use. Make sure to whip the water, coffee and sugar in the pot generously before you start it, as that seems to help create the foam. Pour a little high from the cup once ready. You can’t put the pot in the dishwasher as it has electrical workings inside, but it’s a good machine at a great price.
