Turkish coffee is prepared by boiling finely powdered roast coffee beans in a pot (cezve), possibly with sugar, and serving it into a special cup(fincan), where the dregs settle. Turkish coffee is drunk slowly and is usually served with a glass of cold water (to freshen the mouth to better taste the coffee before sipping), though sometimes, especially after dinner, with a small glass of mint liqueur. It is also served with Turkish delight traditionally. All the coffee in the pot is poured into cups, but not all of it is drunk. The thick layer of sludgy grounds at the bottom of the cup is left behind. The cup is then commonly turned over into the saucer to cool, and then the patterns of the coffee grounds can be used for a kind of fortune telling called tasseography (Turkish: kahve fali)
Turkish coffee is called ôïýñêéêïò êáöÝò in Greek, turska kava in South Slavic and cafea turceascain Romanian.

Get the Cleveland Coffeemug. Refers to a place where groups of people, typically seniors and farmers gather to have coffee and converse about the days events. The term has its origins in rural Saskatchewan and Alberta, typically "coffee row" occurs in small town restaurants and CO-OP's, but the phenomena has been observed in fast food restaurants in large cities as well as any restaurant that serves "bottomless" cups of coffee and is not too strict on what some would consider loitering.
"Hey, I heard some interesting gossip up at coffee today."
