Akaretler café and SCA training room from a coffee equipment distributor.
KEF Endüstriyel has supplied coffee and kitchen equipment in Istanbul since 2010 and is the Turkish distributor for several international brands, ROEST roasters among them. Its café on Enis Akaygen Sokak doubles as the company's showroom, and SCA barista courses run alongside the coffee bar. Beans come from ARC Coffee Co., and the brew bar pours V60, cold brew and Türk kahvesi next to the espresso menu.
A glass shelving unit behind the counter holds hand-brew kettles, servers and glassware, and SCA flavour-wheel and green-coffee charts hang beside the espresso machine. The glazed shopfront looks onto a cobbled side street, and a cushioned bench lines the pavement outside.
