There's something magical about it, right? You're quietly enjoying your coffee and suddenly a window into your future opens. All of this is due to an inconspicuous, dark residue in the cup - the coffee grounds. In it you can discover symbols and figures that supposedly give you clues about your life. Fascinating, right?

Reading coffee grounds, also known as tasseography, is a centuries-old tradition that continues to fascinate many people today. They use this method to find answers to questions about their past, present or future. We'll show you how you can learn to read coffee grounds yourself and what you should pay attention to.

Reading coffee grounds: The most important basics

Anyone who isn't taught fortune-telling by Professor Trelawney like the students at Hogwarts has to do their own research. There are a few important rules to follow so that you can correctly interpret the symbols in the coffee grounds and gain exciting insights into your life and future. Here is the small 1×1 of reading coffee grounds:

1. The correct preparation of coffee

The art of reading from coffee grounds comes from Turkey and the Orient. Traditionally, people don't drink thin filter coffee here, but rather the so-called mocha. For this type of coffee, the boiling water is brewed directly with the ground coffee and plenty of sugar. Then you have to wait a moment until the coffee grounds have settled on the floor and then you can enjoy the mocha.

This special method of preparation results in the famous coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup, from which you can supposedly read your future. Of course, you first have to drink the coffee until only the thick residue remains.

2. Prepare the coffee grounds for reading

Before you can read from the coffee grounds, you have to do the following: Place a saucer on the cup, briefly turn the cup and saucer upside down and then turn them over again. The stain that is then visible at the bottom of the cup is the coffee grounds from which you can find out something about your future.

By the way: If you want to get a specific question answered by reading the coffee grounds, then now is the time to ask it.

2. The interpretation of the individual forms

1. When interpreting the symbols, one thing is particularly important: you have to abstract. This means: If the shapes you recognize in the coffee grounds only roughly resemble a symbol, grab it straight away. Let your imagination play along. If you expect more than vaguely suggested images, you might be disappointed.

2. You have to link the symbols you recognize in the coffee grounds to create concrete statements.

3. Information about the past, present and future can be read from the coffee grounds. What exactly lies in the eye of the beholder who interprets the coffee grounds.

4. Experienced coffee grounds readers differentiate between light and dark cups. This means: If there are only a few coffee grounds visible at the bottom of the cup, the cup is described as “light”. What this says about the respondent is that he is currently doing well mentally and is generally leading a happy life. On the other hand, if a lot of coffee grounds are visible, meaning the bottom of the cup is “dark”, the respondent is currently burdened with worries and problems.
