Mina is unemployed for a long time, she is on bad terms with her family, and she wants to forget her ex-husband and has to leave the house she is living in, in a month. She decides to start a new life in USA. She starts to work in a cafe where there is fortune-telling service. She can’t promise happiness in three seasons to anyone but she invents a completely different style. She unites in the coffee grounds her own sorrows and hopes with the expectations of the customers. She becomes popular; her hopes for America blossom. Fazi, the other fortune-teller has found both a friend and a partner to open the cafe in her dreams. The rebellious boss Tayfun who sat behind the cash box with the pressure of her family, is in love with Mina. Mina is interested in neither business nor love. Her desire is to flee to the future rather than sink in present…

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
