Reading coffee cups is a tradition in Armenia- the coffee is boiled with sugar and water in a little pot called a jazzve and poured into small shot-glass size cups. Usually there is thick coffee that remains at the bottom of each shot-coffee cup, and it is poured onto the small coffee plate away from your body to sit and dry after you are done drinking. Later, someone else at the table will read into the images formed by the coffee. Then, the drinker sticks a finger into the thickest gathering of coffee and the reading is adapted and continued! This is something my family loves to do.
