No setting is published in our sources for: Turkish.
These are starting points. Beans, roast, brewer and burr wear all move the right setting.
Brew method fit. Too coarse and uneven at the fine end for espresso; Moka only works at the finest usable steps. A published sieve test at the finest step passes almost nothing under 200 µm, so Turkish is out of reach.
