The Ottoman coffeehouse or Ottoman Café started in the mid-sixteenth century and became a hub for social and political activity, with the popularity rising. By the late 1800s, there were nearly 2,500 coffeehouses in Istanbul. Turkish coffee's tradition goes beyond the coffeehouse though. Turkish coffee is often part of traditional Turkish wedding customs, with coffee served by the bride-to-be while the groom and his family visit to ask for the bride's hand in marriage. The grounds of the Turkish coffee are even sometimes used to tell fortunes. This fortune telling, similar to tea leaf reading, involves turning the cup of coffee upside down on a saucer when finished drinking, and then interpreting the shapes that the coffee sediment leaves behind.
