What does a ring mean in coffee grounds?

Commitment, marriage, a sealed contract.

The ring is the symbol of binding agreements - in love, in business, in friendship. A clear, closed ring is one of the strongest 'yes' answers in a coffee reading.

Meaning

A complete ring means a commitment is about to be sealed: an engagement, a marriage, a contract, a partnership. A broken or open ring warns that an agreement may not hold - or that you should think twice before signing.

Reading by position in the cup

  • Rim: Near the rim → the commitment happens soon, within months.
  • Middle: In the middle → it concerns your present life directly.
  • Bottom: At the bottom → a slow, long-lasting bond forming.

Common pairings

  • + Heart: a love commitment - engagement or marriage
  • + Key: a major life agreement: home, business, partnership
  • + Crack / break: the agreement may not hold - review before signing

FAQ

Does a ring always mean marriage?

Not always. It means commitment of any kind - work contracts and business partnerships count too. Context (and pairings) decide.
