Boutique coffee culture Turks use coffee divination

Turkish coffee is famous for its peculiar taste, which comes from the peculiar way of preparing coffee. Its taste is recognized as the most "original" taste of coffee, and it is a taste with a long history. This is a real way to make coffee. It grinds roasted coffee beans into powder and boils them directly with water in a special Turkish pot without filtration, which is why Turkish coffee tastes stronger than other coffee. Because of this, when you drink the very strong coffee, you will find a thick and soft coffee residue at the bottom of the cup.

Coffee has long been a social culture in Turkey. There is a Turkish proverb called "drink your cup of Turkish coffee and remember your friendship for forty years". Coffee shares Turks' memories of peace, friendship, love and respect. In Turkey, no matter how small the village is, there is a coffee shop called "kahvehane". The coffee shops on the streets of Turkey are not just coffee shops, many also have game functions, just like chess and card rooms in China. Here, men can chat over coffee and play Turkey's unique tavla game. Men smoking hookahs are often seen in coffee shops in Istanbul. For Turkish women, talking about family affairs over a cup of coffee is leisurely, and the gossip after divination is enough to kill an afternoon.

Istanbul Cafe has a transparent glass room, and Turkish coffee divination is carried out every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 3pm. After drinking the Turkish coffee, the tourist handed the cup to the diviner. The diviner will dump the coffee residue from your cup on the plate, and when the coffee residue cools, he will make divination about the future according to the natural pattern on the plate. It takes about 15 minutes for each divination.
