Turkish coffee is more than just a beverage. It serves as a way to connect with friends and family and share daily moments. To make the experience more engaging, people often tell their fortune from the leftover coffee grounds in the cup. To perform a reading, the drinker focuses on a personal question while slowly enjoying their coffee. After finishing the coffee, they cover the cup with a saucer and turn it upside down to let it cool.

  土耳其咖啡不只是一種飲品。它更是與親朋好友建立連結、分享日常點滴的方式。為了讓體驗更加愉悅有趣,人們常常會根據杯中剩餘的咖啡渣來算命。要進行占卜時,飲用者會一邊細細品嚐咖啡,一邊專注於一個私人問題。喝完後,他們會用碟子蓋住杯子,然後倒扣過來讓其冷卻。
