Has anyone tried emulating Turkish coffee using an espresso machine?

Crazy-fine grind / low pressure / low flow rate / 3-4 minute 'pull' time, followed by psychotherapy to understand why one would even want to do this.
I'm gonna skip the psychotherapy (lost cause) and...

I haven't been able to find any info about this grinder on the forum. Just wondering what everyone thinks. I don't see any details about the motor or the burrs but I kind of like the design/idea

- Non-invasive changes to the...
