A word on that. I have read more and made some (foam related) adjustments:
1) make the water fill in the cezve up into the narrow part of neck; that is most practical, of course, only when you have a set of pots of different sizes.
2) don't stir the coffee into the water. Add the sugar to the water and flop the coffee grounds in and let it sit on top. the repeat boiling will wet the grounds and foam them better than if you stir it all up before boiling.
It looks like the genuine turkish gig may involve coordinating the water and grounds to end up in the narrow of the neck with whatever pot you use.
