What Does Arch Mean in Coffee Reading?

An arch in a coffee reading means a formal passage. A ceremony, a milestone, or an official step.

The arch is a threshold you pass through publicly. Where the door is a private choice, the arch is a recognised occasion.

It usually marks weddings, graduations, openings — the moments a life stage is formally acknowledged.
