Direct stove vs water bed

Hi everyone.

Just arriving to this Reddit. Coming from a long family tradition of drinking Turkish coffee made by my grandmother (though I believe that she always use the heart instead of the science so the flavor was not the best but the nostalgia is growing lately).
Now that she is not with us I got her cesve and want to continue this tradition properly so had been reading a lot about techniques and the science behind this tradition.
Coming from the filtered coffee want to develope a method until it gets good enough for serving for others more than myself.

Ok, into the question: the hot sand seems to be a good way to heat throughly and evenly but is absolutely impossible for me to have that equipment in my home so had been trying to bypass it (or emulate it) heating a pot of water and submerging my cesve into it.

Anyone have tried this method successfully?

Also, about grinder, I currently have a K6, and been wondering if it is good enough to make Turkish coffee grade grind.

Appreciate all the feedback, and will report back after some testing too.

Cheers!
