Placing it in the right place in the house can activate money and increase prosperity. In feng shui, an ancient Chinese discipline that aims to harmonise spaces, ground coffee is considered a symbol of active energy, renewal and economic magnetism. Placing it strategically in the home reinforces the flow of positive Chi energy and can attract new material opportunities.
In addition to its intense aroma, coffee acts as an energy purifier associated with drive, vitality and the ability to activate prosperity. To intensify its effect, it is recommended to place it in a ceramic or glass bowl, materials that symbolise stability and clarity. Some people add three Chinese coins to the container with coffee or tie the bowl with a red string — traditional elements that increase prosperity and protection. It is important to replace the coffee regularly, as its aroma must remain fresh for the energy to remain active and light.
The 4 best places to put the bowl and activate abundance
- Entrance door: the main entrance is considered the “mouth of Chi”, through which energy enters the home. Placing a small bowl of coffee near the entrance helps to attract luck and dispel stagnant energy.
- Kitchen: this space is associated with food and wealth. Placing a container of coffee on the countertop, near the stove or cupboard, reinforces the idea of constant provision.
- Work or study area: on the desk, ground coffee activates productivity, stimulates work projects and can contribute to the emergence of economic opportunities. Its symbolism of “awakening” is ideal for this sector.
- Wealth area (southeast corner): according to the Bagua map, the southeast part of the house symbolises prosperity. Placing a bowl of ground coffee in this location helps to multiply income, attract unexpected money and strengthen financial stability.
Other ways to use ground coffee to increase the energy of the home
- Inside cupboards to absorb negative vibrations and attract order.
- As a base on the prosperity altar, accompanied by gold or green candles.
- Mixed with Chinese coins for abundance rituals.
- In transparent jars, so that the home’s ‘energy reserve’ remains visible.
Feng shui: general recommendations for the home
-
- Keep the space free: order promotes energy circulation and creates a lighter atmosphere.
- Use natural lighting: raise the curtains and do not close the windows, this improves vitality and mood.
- Choose soft, balanced colours: light tones such as beige, soft white, blue or soft green create tranquillity; bright colours should only be used in details to energise without overwhelming.
