Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi Turkish Coffee

Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi is Turkey's most famous and oldest coffee brand, specializing in traditional Turkish coffee. The history of the brand dates back to 1871, when Mehmet Efendi took over his father's spice and coffee bean shop on Tahmis Street in Istanbul. Instead of selling raw beans, he began roasting and grinding them before sale, earning the title 'Kurukahveci' (merchant of roasted/ground coffee).

Today, the brand remains an independent family-owned business, operated by the descendants of Mehmet Efendi. It maintains its headquarters and primary roasting production in Istanbul, Turkey. The product is internationally recognized for its ultra-fine grind and consistent quality, serving as a cultural ambassador for Turkish coffee culture worldwide through the Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi Mahdumları company.
