What does a heart mean in a coffee cup?

A heart is traditionally associated with love, affection and emotional connection. A clear heart may be read as strong feelings or a relationship becoming more important. Near the rim, it is often linked with something more immediate; deeper in the cup, with feelings or developments that may take longer to unfold. A split or broken heart is commonly interpreted as emotional distance, strain or a relationship that needs attention.
