Coffee Grounds & Your Future

Reading your fortune with coffee is a lot like taking a Rorschach test. You need to get the big picture and interpret the symbols correctly to know what lies ahead.

Here’s the step-by-step guide to how to prepare to read coffee grounds:

• Use a white cup to get an accurate reading
• Grind your beans as usual. You can use espresso, but do not allow cream, milk or sugar or anything else to be added
• Heat water to a boil
• Make your coffee in a French press as usual
• Then add a large pinch of coffee grounds to your cup and pour the freshly made coffee over it. Then stir.
• Drink the coffee by holding both hands on the cup
• When finished drinking the coffee, tip the cup on a 90 degree angle and slowly turn the cup to allow all excess grounds to be expelled onto a saucer. Do not tap the cup. Do not swirl more than 3 times.

Here are some examples of some of the things to look for when you read your coffee grounds:

• Cakes & Pies: Good fortune
• Cigarettes: You must follow through on your plan

• Elephants: Ask for a favor
• Garlic: Strength against an aggressive person
