Turkish Coffee & Italian Coffee

Today it is the time to write about coffee. As my followers know, I am from Turkey and now I am living in Italy because of the master study on Food Engineering. While I was thinking to do my master in Italy, the familiar culture of Italy attracted me. These two countries have lots of similarities besides their differences. One of the common thing can be coffee culture. People like drinking coffee not only in Turkey, but also in Italy very much. The way of drinking it a little bit different. Italians generally drink coffee standing and for Italians it takes just 5 minutes. On the other hand, we usually drink coffee slowly. Drinking coffee has a significant meaning for those people that are living in these countries. People can make a conservation with their friends, spend their time, share their happiness or misery, talk about the future thanks to turkish coffee. Fortune telling is the term for the people who look at the bottom/inside of the cup and talk about the future thanks to the figures that resembles to the objects. 

Fortune-telling is the practice of predicting information about a person's life. The scope of fortune-telling is in principle identical with the practice of divination.
