- Can I use it in the US?
- No. It is rated 220-240 V at 50-60 Hz, so it needs a matching outlet or a step-up transformer. Plugging it into a standard US 120 V outlet will not run it properly.
- How many cups does it make at once?
- One to four Turkish coffee cups per brew, within its 250 ml capacity. That is roughly one to four small servings, not full mugs.
- Does it shut off automatically?
- No. You control the heat and stop the brew yourself when the foam rises, as with a traditional cezve. Watch it closely to avoid boiling over.
- What is the heating element made of?
- A 304 stainless steel heating element, which resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean.
- Do I need to grind beans a special way?
- Yes. Turkish coffee needs beans ground to a fine powder, finer than espresso. Pre-ground Turkish coffee works best.
- Is it hard to clean?
- The pot is small and has few parts, so rinsing after each brew is quick. Do not immerse the base or power cord in water.
- Where is the STC Turkish Coffee Maker cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $137.80, as of our latest check.
