How to read a Turkish Coffee Cup
You will of course need to prepare your coffee in such a way that there are grounds to read. Use grounded, powdery soft Turkish coffee.
· Enjoy your coffee while relaxing, and ask yourself: "will my exam results be positive??" or " What will be the important changes in my life in the near future?" etc...etc..whatever you wish to know.
· Now, meditate and point somewhere whatever pops into your mind.If the first thing has nothing to do with the coffee, jot it down anyway. For example, if cooking is the first thing that pops into your mind - whatever it may be, write it down; however, continue to stare at your cup.
· Try not to read what you are writing; rather keep your eyes on the grounds in your cup.
· Observe the thought, jot it down, and let it pass, moving onward to whatever comes next as you continue to stare at the cup.
· Continue writing for at least ten minutes-enough for you to enter the first stages of a meditative state, both by the exercise of looking at one thing and by the rhythmic pattern of your free association and the motion of your hand upon the paper.
· You don’t need to read every cluster of grounds or patterns in your cup. Interpret only what speaks to you.
· There is no right or wrong here. Each of your interpretations is "correct." You really do have all the answers within you. Trust yourself.
· Write the date down, and go back to your notes in few days, you will begin to notice happenings taking place and understand what each symbol or pattern mean according to your own dictionary.
· Symbols convey messages; focus on the message rather than the symbol. With practice, you will develop your own dictionary.

Turkish Coffee Grinders (Degirmen)
This specially designed grinder helps you grind the beans appropriately.To make Turkish coffee, beans must be ground very finely. If you are not a heavy coffee drinker or prefer to grind your coffee upon demand to maximize freshness and taste, a coffee mill is required to grind the beans as necessary. A traditional coffee mill has a particular design, with a two piece moving handle and with a pot underneath to collect the ground coffee.

Coffee Reading !!!
Coffee Readings are psychic readings done by using a cup of coffee Ground Turkish coffee is mostly used when cup readingsare done. The residue is left at the bottom of the cup after the coffee is drunk, when the cup is then covered with a saucer, shaken,and turned over (up side down) into the saucer, and left to dry.

The patterns formed on the inside of the cup trigger psychic insight; and are interpreted according to what they mean to the seer. Once you allow the information to flow intuitively, and with little training you can soon be well on your way to reading your own cup.
If a coffee cup that is drunk in a hurry, without the intention of having it read, or while not in a relaxed state, it can’t be read. The grains do not appear to form any meaningful patterns- merely chaotic brown dots or mud in a cup! This is probably true for any form of divination,if you focus or intention is not present, the medium used will not provide a useful insight into the future.

Introduction to Turkish Coffee
Coffee has created its own “culture” in Turkey. A little bit more than a casual visit to Turkey would convince anyone that this is the case. Coffee for Turks is not simply a drink, but has its own history, its institutions (coffeehouses), its rituals, its own rules of when and how to drink it, and even a tradition of fortune-telling by reading the coffee grinds deposited at the bottom of a traditional Turkish coffee cup… Most Turks would find it superfluous to call it Turkish coffee: coffee is Turkish coffee.
What would a “culture” created by coffee mean.Is there such thing as “culture” when it comes to coffee? I cannot answer this question directly without going into the whole experience of coffee. I will therefore approach it from various angles. First its ritualistic element:
Why would coffee be associated with rituals or ceremonies? In its first aspect, this refers to the special way of making Turkish coffee. The etiquette that has developed around coffee-making, even though it has changed from former times, constitutes a set of rules coffee lovers still try to adhere.
A second aspect of the ritualistic element in Turkish coffee refers to certain traditional elements that have been woven into it. One strong tradition dictates the typical situation where the family of a young man visits the family of the bride-to-be to ask for their permission for their marriage. The girl whose hand is sought is supposed to bring coffee on a coffee tray, and traditionally this is the only time she has a say in the whole affair. The vote she casts is expressed in terms of how sweet the makes the coffee, ranging from extra sweet (a definite yes) to “no sugar” (a definite no). Also I am not sure if this is the true but i have heard from people around me and watched in the series that the girl intentionally makes coffee dark and strong without sugar to check if the young man says directly anything like " ohh thats strong" or something like that it means that the young man going to boss at home:)) which means he is not going to say yes to everyting what girl asks! well this is pretty much like a joke but people do it for fun too.
