Is a door in the coffee cup a good or bad omen?

The door is largely a favorable sign, for it swings open and invites you toward fortune. The only nuance rests with you: an open door serves only those bold enough to step through. Linger hesitating on the threshold, and the opportunity may pass.

What does it mean if the door appears near the rim of the cup?
