Fincanya

Let your cup speak.

Send a photo of your cup to ChatGPT. Fincanya outlines the shapes in the grounds by zone (rim, middle, bottom and saucer) and numbers them; ChatGPT names each one from our lexicon of 400 traditional shapes. Tap a shape to correct it, and keep your readings in the fal defteri.

How it works

  1. Drink your coffee, make a wish, turn the cup over onto the saucer and let it cool.
  2. Lift the cup and photograph the inside from above, in good light. Add the saucer if you like.
  3. In ChatGPT, attach the photo and say “Read my coffee cup”.
  4. Tap the numbered shapes, read their meanings, correct any, and save to your fal defteri.

What makes it different

  • Shapes aren't invented: the photo is processed the same way every time, so the same photo gives the same shapes.
  • Every shape is named from our lexicon of 400 traditional shapes and meanings.
  • It's entertainment and tradition: no predictions about health, money or legal matters.

Things to ask

  • “Read my Turkish coffee cup (attach a photo of the inside)”
  • “What does a bird near the rim mean in coffee reading?”
  • “Show my fal defteri”
