What Does Chain Mean in Coffee Reading?
A chain in a coffee reading means a binding tie. Strong means a lasting bond; broken means a bond giving way.
The chain links things that cannot easily be separated. Depending on context that is either security or constraint.
Its condition is the reading: an intact chain means a durable connection, a broken one means a tie that has failed.

Frequently asked questions
Is a chain a good or bad symbol?
Both readings are traditional. A chain is security when the bond is wanted and constraint when it is not; context decides.
What does a broken chain mean?
A tie giving way. Whether that is a relief or a loss depends on what else the cup shows.
