notes:
This is how we drink it, only grained coffee beens and boiling water, no extra flavours or cream. The best way is to grain small amount of it every time you make new cup of coffee. Only then it`s realy fresh and with beautiful aroma.
After drinking coffee we usualy turn our cups up side down. Than it`s only matter of gravity and coffee grounds before fortune telling begins.
Give it a try and see what your imagination can do with all those different shapes.
Good morning!!!

Are you serious about the way you drink it, Nada? I would like to try ...:-)
Very interesting and creative still: Kind regards.

Yes I am!
For preparation you need to boil one cup of water (it is not big cup, like for espresso) add sugar if you like and when it melts remove it from the flame add one full tea spoon of grained coffee stir it well and put on the flame again and stir for few more seconds. Be careful because from the heat that mixture will start to expand, you don`t want to make a mess in your kitchen. And that`s it.
When you finish your coffee you`ll see something looking like mud on the bottom. Shake your cup a bit like making small circles and turn it up side down, put it on some old newspapers. Wait for about 15 minutes and when you pick it up you`ll see that the inner side of the cup is covered with coffee grounds. (Use a cup made of light colour ceramic because of contrast.)
Theoretically inner side is divided in 5 areas. That part where you put lips represents everything connected to you, on the opposite side is your partner (wife, boyfriend....). There where you hold it with your fingers is future and business. Opposite from that relationships and bottom is your home.
Than you read the signs. Never look in your own cup because of suggestive thoughts, friends will do that for you.
And you can make a wish too. Just stuck your finger inside like making a fingerprint. Index finger is for business and that one where you put wedding ring is of course for LOVE!!!!
Best wishes smile
