At a glance

The Karaca Hatır Köz is a simple, compact electric Turkish coffee machine. It brews up to five cups at a time with a standard and an ember-style 'Köz' programme, automatic heat control, an anti-overflow system and audible and light alerts. UK owners mostly praise the coffee's taste and foam, the one-button ease and the speed. It is one of the cheapest ways to get machine-made Turkish coffee in the UK. The main weakness is reliability: a recurring minority of buyers report units that would not heat, showed a red warning light or failed within months. The plastic pot and body also won't suit everyone, and it cannot make milk-based drinks (Karaca's Köz Milky does). It suits Turkish-coffee drinkers who want quick, consistent results on a budget. No independent long-term reliability test is available, so buying from a retailer with easy returns is sensible.

Strengths

  • Makes good-tasting Turkish coffee with good foam, according to most UK reviewers
  • One-button operation, quick brewing and automatic heat control
  • Safety features including anti-overflow, dry-run protection, alerts and auto power-off
Show all (5)
  • Compact and attractive, available in several colours
  • Low UK price from Amazon and Karaca UK, with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee

Things to consider

  • Recurring reports of units failing from new or within months
  • Not suitable for milk, instant coffee or milk powder
  • Plastic body and pot, not dishwasher safe
Show all (5)
  • Small brew volume (300 cc maximum) and pouring can be messy
  • Not stocked by major UK high-street retailers such as Argos, Currys or John Lewis
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Turkish coffee drinkers who want consistent, hands-off brewing for one to five cups
  • Buyers on a budget with limited counter space

May not suit

  • Anyone wanting milky Turkish coffee or hot chocolate from the same machine
  • Buyers who want proven long-term durability or prefer to avoid plastic contact with coffee

Go to the original reviews

UK buyers mostly praise the Hatır Köz for making authentic, good-tasting Turkish coffee, often with good foam, quickly and with almost no effort, and many like its compact, attractive design and easy cleaning. Several owners say it beats brewing by hand and use it daily. The main concern is reliability: a recurring minority report units that would not heat or showed a red warning light from the first use, or that stopped working after weeks or months, and one long-time owner says the pot-to-base connection fails roughly once a year. Others report years of trouble-free use. Minor gripes include a small water volume, messy pouring and unease about the plastic construction. Reviews on Karaca's own shop are uniformly positive but brief.

  5. S*** 5/5 27 September 2026 Amazon Shiny Black

    The Karaca makes Turkish coffee to perfection.

  6. M*** M*** E*** A*** A*** 5/5 17 September 2026 Amazon Cream

    After 2 years of using it. This is my honest review. This is the best Turkish coffee maker you can ever buy Gives you perfect Turkish coffee every day. No hassle, no drama. Just works perfectly.

  7. C*** d*** F*** 5/5 2 September 2026 Amazon Cream

    So quick & easy to use, load the pot with coffee & dots, give it a good stir & be careful when you pour, it can get messy.

  8. R*** 5/5 21 August 2026 Amazon Shiny Black

    I’m really happy with this Turkish coffee machine. It’s easy to use, makes coffee quickly, and the coffee comes out really nice and flavorful. It’s also easy to clean and doesn’t take up much space. Definitely a great addition to the kitchen.

  9. M*** T*** D*** 3/5 11 August 2026 Amazon Cream

    This machine really does make very good Turkish coffee. The taste and consistency are excellent, which is the main reason I have continued buying it. Unfortunately, the biggest problem is durability. In my experience, the connection between the coffee pot and the machine itself seems to fail quite easily. I have ended up buying a new one almost every year because mine have not lasted much longer than a year.…

  10. S*** 4/5 1 August 2026 Amazon Hatır Köz, Timeless Red

    Was a gift for my dad. He liked it. I removed obe star because is plastic. And plastic xan leach chemicals into your coffee

  11. A*** O*** 5/5 28 June 2026 Amazon Hatır Köz, Timeless Red

    Excellent Turkish coffee machine! It makes rich, authentic coffee with perfect foam every time. It’s easy to use, quick to prepare, and simple to clean. The build quality is excellent, and it looks stylish on the kitchen counter. Great value for money—I would highly recommend it to any Turkish coffee lover.

  12. X*** 4/5 20 May 2026 Amazon Hatır Köz, Timeless Red

    Stopped working suddenly after three months. I will repurchase as it is quite easy to use and I hope that was a one off quality issue.

  13. D*** I*** 1/5 13 May 2026 Amazon Roseberry

    Don’t buy Went off after couple of months Tried everything No hope

  14. T*** V*** 1/5 30 March 2026 Amazon Cream

    I’m really disappointed with this Karaca Turkish coffee maker. From the moment I plugged it in, it showed a red warning light and refused to heat the coffee at all. No matter what I tried—different sockets, cleaning, resetting—it simply wouldn’t work.…

  15. m*** g*** 5/5 2 February 2026 Amazon Roseberry

    Looks good and works well, nice cup of Greek coffee was made in two mins. Very pleased so far.

  16. D*** 5/5 29 May 2024 Amazon Red listing (variant not labelled)

    Very easy to use and clean, makes a speedy authentic Turkish coffee. The machine has an automatic shut-off which prevents leakage. A solid good quality small in size coffee maker.

  17. I*** s*** 5/5 18 February 2024 Amazon Shiny Black

    This little machine is fast, simple to use out the box. Also capable of making, 5 cup's of turkish, coffee, at time. Very fast. Push the button and hear it go. Hopefully last as long as the other one. Which lasted a few year's. Definitely good value. My mum is definitely happy now. Back to my coffee. :)

  18. E*** 1/5 23 November 2023 Amazon Red listing (variant not labelled)

    I have received this coffee machine today and I've made my first cup of coffee and it was fantastic. Then later on the day I've tried it once again..but this time round it sounded some noise and a red flashing light from both buttons and it stopped. Extremely annoyed

  19. j*** 5/5 4 July 2026 karaca.co.uk Roseberry
