Well, if it’s done poorly or comes out of a Turkish coffee machine, then it’s probably going to be garbage. What was your experience with it? I had it from a machine once and it was absolutely disgusting, but I frankly blame the machine for that.

In my knowledge, the biggest issue with proper Turkish coffee is that it’s really finicky and hard to get the grind just right, because it’s way finer than most consumer-grade grinders can actually manage to grind. So, since you have much coarser grinds in the cup, they won’t tend to stick together like fine grinds, and will drift into your mouth more easily. The coffee will also not be extracted as thoroughly, so you won’t experience the full flavor.

I hope one day to have the authentic Turkish coffee experience, and by that I mean having coffee in Turkey that’s made by a street vendor with a big bowl full of sand where they heat up the cezve and boil the coffee three times as is apparently the tradition!
