Turks like to drink coffee and chat, just as Sichuan people like to set up a dragon gate in a teahouse. There is a Turkish saying: there are 40 years of friendship in a cup of Turkish coffee. It means to remember his 40-year friendship after drinking a cup of coffee made for himself.

Traditional Turkish coffee is brewed cup by cup, and the container is a small flat-bottomed, open copper pot with a long handle with just the right capacity for a cup of coffee. First pour a cup of water, then add two tablespoons of Turkish coffee and two tablespoons of sugar, and then boil it over a gentle fire. The most important thing at this time is to keep the foam, because coffee without foam is not authentic Turkish coffee.

The special feature of Turkish coffee is not the coffee itself, but the ability to use coffee as a fortune teller. Once I went to the southern coastal city of Antalya, accompanied by a dark-skinned young man, Murat, who spoke fluent English. He smiled and asked me if I knew Turkish coffee could be a fortune teller. This aroused my curiosity and hurriedly said I would like to hear more about it. He smiled and said, "you don't have to drink it. I'll drink it for you, but that won't be accurate." This smiling remark is much more effective than persuasion. I frowned and finished his bitter Turkish coffee, then according to his instructions, I put the tray over the mouth of the cup, grasped it with both hands, and made a wish. I turned the cup over with the tray, put it on the table, and later touched the bottom of the cup with my fingers. After confirming that it was cold, I could invite a coffee fortune teller to "tell the fortune".

The diviner is a middle-aged woman dressed like a gypsy girl. She picked up the cup, poured coffee foaming dregs into the plate, and showed it to me. There were traces of thick coffee flowing through the wall and bottom of the cup, showing a variety of shapes. She wants to see my past and future in these shapes. Generally speaking, the figures such as fish, bear, bird, sun and moon symbolize good luck, two parallel long lines represent roads or choices, and the graphics of vehicles such as airplanes indicate that you are going far away, and the shape of yuan treasure or money indicates good fortune, and so on. It's simple to say, but to see the way and connect graphics with people, and to speak vividly and mysteriously, it depends on the diviner's ability.

Watching coffee "fortune telling" was originally a pastime for Turkish women to have nothing to do and pass the time after dinner. It is generally seen by women. Some men are more nurtured at home, but after all, they are not as authoritative as women. Later, it developed to the point that some people used it for a living, and it was said that they were full of guests.

Whether Turkish coffee is a fortune teller or not, as a coffee culture, I really like Turkish coffee.
