Dear S. Huneidi,

I come from a long line of coffee cup readers going back from my great grandmother who came from Micra-Asia to my granny. However, I left Cyprus and now live int he UK before I could learn to read the coffee cup and though when I go on holiday my granny still reads my cup I am not there long enough for her to teach me how to read it.

Could you suggest somewhere in London where I could go learn. I want to learn how to read both the cup and the little saucer which is the proper way or reading it.

Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Gina.

Hello Gina,

Thank you for your email. How lovely to learn that the art is well and alive within your family.

I wrote a book recently on how to read the coffee grounds (out Spring 07) and discovered that the information was passed orally from one generation tot he next- there wasn't much information on how to read the coffee grounds.

I am not aware of classes in London; I sometimes do hold coffee cup reading workshops, when there is enough number of participants. I am planning a workshop in 2007, or perhaps tele-classes so participants form around the world can join in; and will add your name to my newsletter list and keep you informed.

In the mean time, there is quite a lot of information in my online magazine, www.ps-magazine.com under Turkish Coffee Cup Reading; And there is also a podcast you can listen to:

podcast on How to Conduct Turkish Coffee Cup Reading
This podcast is an extract from a recent telephone conversation I had with a caller from the United States, who visited my web site and wanted to know how to interpret symbols in a coffee cup.
