Not sure my topic fits here, still haven't found more appropriate place for it :-)
Do you believe coffee serves as a kind of foreteller? I know Turkish people believe that and use coffee grounds to read their future. And this tradition has become so popular through the world, it is especially popular among fortune-teller and their adherents. People read the leaves even home so you can say everyone can do it nowadays :))
And I do think this tradition is closely tied to the culture as it goes back from ancient times and became a kind of of visiting card of such nations as Turks, Gipsies and others.....
What's your thought? Is this a culture as a way of behaviour and way of life or it something else and I'm wrong?

yes, I trust it only when the fortunetelling is made by a professional (means talented) fortune-teller

I don't believe any of these misteries or fortunetellers; and coffee divination adds to my list. What else can I say? I think nothing more :-)
