Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi Turkish Coffee 100g – 25-Pack Case

Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi has been roasting and grinding coffee at Tahmis Sokağı in Istanbul's Eminönü district since 1871. In that year, Mehmet Efendi became the first person in Turkey to sell freshly roasted and ground coffee to the public — packed on the spot, in small paper bags, for waiting customers. The name on these packs has not changed since.

This listing is a full case of 25 × 100g packs, the standard format stocked by cafés, offices, and households that go through Turkish coffee regularly. At $66.95 for the case, each 100g pack comes to roughly $2.68 — the same coffee sold individually in specialty stores worldwide, bought smarter.

The coffee is ground from 100% Arabica beans to the extra-fine consistency required for a cezve (ibrik). The flavor profile is naturally sweet with mild acidity and a medium to heavy body; tasting notes include toasted bread, spices, hazelnuts, and chocolate. Each foil pack is sealed individually, so the aroma of each pack stays fresh from production to the moment it is opened.

The 100g format is the most practical size for Turkish coffee: it is ground to order at the roastery, sealed, and consumed within days of opening — giving you café-quality freshness at home rather than working through a large tin that oxidizes over weeks.
