What Does Fire Mean in Coffee Reading?
A fire in a coffee reading means intensity. Passion, anger, or rapid change — and it needs handling.
Fire transforms whatever it touches, which is why the cup treats it as neither good nor bad but as powerful.
Its scale sets the reading: a small flame is passion and drive, a large blaze is anger or a situation running out of hand.

Not inherently. Fire means intensity, which can be passion and drive as easily as anger. Its size and neighbours decide.

Intensity fading — a passion cooling, or an anger that has burned itself out.
