Ömer Özcan roasts in Bakırköy, where CHO opened in 2023 buying green coffee straight from producers and setting a separate profile for each lot. Each coffee carries its farmer's name, such as Jairo Arcila of Finca Mazatlán in Quindío. An Opal Geisha roasted for the 2026 Istanbul Coffee Festival sold out there, and Özcan reached the RoasterClub AeroPress final at Fişekhane that September.
Inside the narrow room on Reyhan Sokak, arched plaster niches of coffee bags and books sit above a bench at the back, and the counter opens onto the roaster room.
