As a Turk, I can say that the truly wonderful thing is brewing very finely ground coffee with its grounds.

my friend's mother would make it for us, and I would secretly top it up with water and dilute the grounds until I ate/drank them down.

Not only did this illicit reactions of disgust, but it prevented them from doing a coffee reading of my future as my cup was always clean by the end.

So had you not done the herecy of diluting the coffee grounds, you might have been foretold your future of being replaced by LLM tokens

That's everybody's future, so I would have been pretty unimpressed if that's all she could come up with
