Tasseography: Practical Answers for Reading a Coffee Cup
Tasseography is the reading of shapes left by coffee grounds or tea leaves. This page gathers the practical questions people ask once the cup is turned: what a stuck cup means, why some put a coin on it, how to read the saucer, whether you can read your own cup and how much of it to take seriously. Traditions differ between families and regions, so each answer explains the common views rather than one fixed rule.
