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.

Hello everyone, I am selling my flair pro 2 since I want to keep my espresso setup more simple (already got a lever). It works perfect and it comes with everything in original package. I used it for probably 20 times max. I am asking for $290 including a walnut distributor that...

I presently have a cafelat knock box (I believe) and it's functional but also annoying when knocking pucks as it often launches part of the puck out of the box and onto my floor. I want to retire this box for everything but travel times.
