Arzum Okka Minio is a compact, electrical Turkish Coffee maker designed considering the needs of Turkish coffee lovers.

Thanks to its compact design it occupies small space on counters. By observing user habits and considering the fact that many users tend to wash electrical coffeepots even though their contact with water is not safe and not recommended, the pot of Okka Minio was intended to be safely washable, therefore a special connector has been developed for the product exclusively.  The cooking chamber of Minio can be washed under a tap and with its 4 cups capacity it allows consumers maximum ease of use. With its smart overflow prevention technology, it cooks without overflowing the coffee, and due to its power lowered compared to its competitors, it provides ideal taste and ideal froth by braising and it’s spouts are placed on both sides of the cooking pot in order to enable use with both hands.
