Coffee divination, also known as Greek coffee divination, or Turkish coffee divination, was popular in countries once ruled by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

It is the habit of almost all Turks to have a cup of coffee in Turkey and predict the fortune of the year. Just as China likes to criticize eight-character fortune-telling, Turks make divination based on the shape of the coffee grounds in the cup after drinking the coffee. Turkish caffeine has become the only fortune-telling coffee in the world.

There is a Turkish proverb: "drink your cup of Turkish coffee, remember your friendship for forty years." In the streets of Turkey, there are shops with "coffee" signs, some with a small coffee cup painted, and the edge of the cup seems to be steaming hot.

Old-fashioned traditional coffee from Turkey. It is said that there is a habit of coffee fortune-telling in Turkey. After drinking coffee, the coffee grounds deposited at the bottom of the cup are covered on a plate to predict the fate of the day according to what it looks like.

Coffee was introduced into Turkey in the 16th century and began to be commercialized. Because of its geographical location across Europe and Asia, Turkey quickly spread coffee to the European continent. The original Arabica coffee drinking method is still popular in Greece, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa. And because Turkish coffee can best retain the true taste, and handed down from generation to generation. Turkish coffee is a primitive brewed coffee. Turkish coffee is still popular in Turkey, Greece and the Balkans, which were once ruled by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, due to historical entanglements, Greeks will look unhappy when they hear Turkish coffee, so it is best to rename it as the Romans do in Greece. Many Turks, especially women, like to use the coffee residue marks left at the bottom of Turkish coffee cups to predict the fate of the day, which adds a little exotic mystery to our coffee.

Since there have been disputes between Turkey and Greece in the past, if you go to Greece, don't say you want a cup of Turkish coffee, or you'll get two white eyes.

The Greek people, who like divination and fortune-telling, have contributed to the development of philosophy, astrology, numerology and astronomy because of their curiosity about "fate". The Greeks believed that everyone's luck was different every day, sometimes good luck, sometimes bad luck, so it also derived some special divination methods to predict the future, plus the Greek people, the history of drinking coffee is quite early, so over time, coffee divination appeared.

In addition, there is a saying that, because the Turks are a more hospitable and warm nation, they all entertain guests warmly, and in order to keep the guests for a while after they have had enough to drink and eat, they discovered that the coffee divination in the coffee after dinner can be used to gossip and gossip, and the art of predicting good and bad luck with coffee residue has emerged ever since.
