Pre-set coffee cups are primarily seen at breakfast and large banquets. It is perfectly all right to turn the cup upside down to indicate that you do not care for coffee. The only problem is that if you desire coffee later, be careful that the server does not remove the cup and saucer. To indicate to the server that you do not wish to have your beverage replenished, simply gesture by placing your hand slightly above the cup/glass using the international stop sign (fingers extended.) If the server pours you a beverage and you do not care to drink it, just let it sit. Enjoy the rest of your meal.
