How to read coffee grounds to easily predict future

Choosing the right cup for the ritual

Coffee ground reading is an ancient tradition passed down through generations. It originated in countries where strong brewed coffee is popular and has survived to this day.

For the ritual, a special cup is used, one that is not used in daily life. The most important thing is that the cup should be small, and its upper diameter should match the size of the saucer. A white or light-colored cup is the best choice, as the coffee grounds' patterns will be clearer against its background.

For preparing the drink, it is recommended to use a copper cezve, as it heats the liquid evenly. Of course, you can read coffee grounds using other containers, but following traditions helps set the right mood for the ritual.

How to properly prepare the drink

To get a thick sediment, it is necessary to use very finely ground coffee. The best coffee reading is done with a strong drink made using the classic recipe.

In the cezve, add three teaspoons of coffee without a heap and pour in 100 ml of cold water. Bring the drink to a boil, but do not let it boil over, then pour it into the cup. The coffee mustn't contain sugar, milk, or spices, as they can affect the sediment pattern.

While drinking the coffee, focus on the question you want to get an answer to. The more attention you give to your thoughts, the clearer the signs will be at the bottom of the cup.

How to properly drink coffee before reading the grounds

Traditional rules for coffee readings follow a specific order of consumption. Drink the coffee slowly from one side of the cup, leaving a little liquid at the bottom. Before the last sip, make a wish or formulate a question. Then, cover the cup with the saucer and turn it over so that the sediment is evenly distributed.

It is recommended to make three clockwise turns before leaving the cup to dry. It is important not to touch the bottom while drinking, as this could alter the natural pattern of the grounds. After 5-10 minutes, you can begin interpreting the symbols.

Basic rules for interpreting patterns

Before interpreting the symbols, you need to assess the overall appearance of the cup and saucer.

If most grounds flow onto the saucer, it signifies the removal of problems and a positive change in life.

If the cup does not separate easily from the saucer, it is not recommended to read the grounds, as this is considered a bad omen.

The analysis of the patterns begins from the handle of the cup: this area symbolizes love and personal matters.

• The area opposite the handle relates to financial status.

• The left side represents current circumstances.

• The right side indicates future events.

• The bottom reflects family matters.

To get a more accurate interpretation, consider the shape, size, and placement of the symbols in the cup.
