Learn how to use the Arzum Okka Rich for Turkish coffee, moka, and milk frothing. Step-by-step settings, cup limits, and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Use the Arzum Okka Rich by selecting Turkish coffee or moka mode, adding the correct amount of water and coffee for your cup count, and letting the preset finish before pouring. For milk-based drinks, froth milk separately using the Velvetiser or milk frother function.
Why cup count changes your grind and water
The Arzum Okka Rich brews up to 5 cups of Turkish coffee or 3 cups of moka. Turkish coffee uses fine powder and cold water, while moka uses a coarser grind and hot water in the base. If you switch between styles without changing grind, you get weak Turkish coffee or a clogged moka funnel. Always measure for the exact number of cups you plan to serve, because the machine’s presets assume a full batch.
Preset modes and temperature: what to adjust first
The Okka Rich offers 7 preset modes and adjustable temperature settings. Start with the default Turkish coffee preset and medium temperature, then adjust only one variable at a time. If your coffee tastes bitter, lower the temperature slightly; if it tastes sour or thin, increase the coffee dose rather than raising temperature. For moka, use the dedicated moka preset and avoid stirring during the brew cycle.
Milk frothing: when to use the Velvetiser or frother
The Velvetiser and milk frother are for milk-based drinks, not for brewing coffee. Froth cold milk first, then pour it over your brewed Turkish coffee or moka. Do not add milk directly to the coffee chamber during brewing, as it can scorch and block the frother. If you want a latte-style drink, brew a concentrated moka, froth milk separately, and combine in your cup.
Step-by-step: brewing Turkish coffee or moka
- Fill the water to the correct cup mark: Use cold water for Turkish coffee and hot water for moka. Fill only to the mark for your desired cup count (maximum 5 Turkish or 3 moka). Never exceed the max line; overfilling causes overflow and weak coffee.
- Add coffee with the right grind: Use fine powder for Turkish coffee and a coarser moka grind for moka. Add one level spoon per cup unless your coffee came with a specific scoop. Do not stir after adding coffee; stirring can create foam collapse in Turkish mode.
- Select the preset and temperature: Choose the Turkish coffee preset or moka preset, then set temperature to medium as a starting point. Press start and leave the lid closed. Opening the lid mid-brew releases heat and can stop the foam from rising.
- Let the cycle finish and pour immediately: Wait for the machine to signal completion. Pour Turkish coffee slowly to keep the foam, and pour moka into a separate cup to stop extraction. Do not let brewed coffee sit on the keep-warm plate for more than a few minutes; it turns bitter.
- Froth milk separately for milk drinks: Pour cold milk into the Velvetiser or frother, select the froth setting, and run until thick. Add to your brewed coffee in the cup, not the brewing chamber. Clean the frother immediately after use to prevent milk residue from blocking the whisk.
