This is a kind of fortunetelling born of Turkish Coffee. The coffee-grounds left over after drinking coffee is shaken a little by the person whose fortune is to be told. Then the cup which is covered by the reversed demitasse is turned over. Some make a wish by touching the bottom of the cup by their index fingers. Once the cup is cooled down, the fortuneteller starts the process mostly by saying "whatever is your state, so be your fortune told", and tries to interpret intuitively the figures left over by coffee-grounds in the demitasse. One of the important aspect of fortunetelling by coffee is that it is merely made up of good wishes.
