Clairvoyant Coffee

I read recently that the bubbles that form at the top of a freshly poured cup of coffee can be used to predict the weather. The bubbles are said to respond to changes in barometric pressure: bubbles massing in the center of the cup are indicative of high pressure and fair conditions, a ring of bubbles around the rim means the pressure is low and the weather is deteriorating, or the opposite of these applies, or what really matters is the speed with which the bubbles disperse.

I don’t know if any of this is true. I just don’t want the coffee to get cold while I try to foretell the future.
