Aci Kahve

About Aci Kahve

Aci Kahve is a coffee house in the historic Kizlaragasi Han in the Kemeralti bazaar, known for Turkish coffee cooked in the cup. According to Visit Izmir, what sets it apart is the presentation: instead of being brewed in a cezve in the usual way, the coffee is cooked together with its cup, a brass or copper cezve cup, and served with lokum. The han itself describes Kizlaragasi as the place where the famous Izmir Turkish coffee cooked in the cup is made, and lists Aci Kahve both in its courtyard and on its upper floor. On its Instagram profile the cafe calls itself the award-winning coffee maker of Izmir, gives its address in the han and says it is closed on Sundays. Visit Izmir also includes it on its list of Kemeralti food businesses holding the Selluka certificate from the Izmir Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism.
