I wonder if the disdain is for the idea of machine made Turkish coffee, or because there's some factor creating variance in the bubbling times for which the machines aren't compensating.
A better machine could mimic the technical part (not that anybody makes them like that currently), but the very idea of a machine making it is against the whole philosophy of drinking it.
It's like making love to a plastic doll.
For a larger store sure, it doesn't make much difference.
But the traditional way was at small coffee shops (kafenes) where people would see for hours, smoke shisha etc. Usually with a sand based stove (hovoli) etc.
