Really this is to UK readers but input from all round is welcome :-)
The topic is growing your own coffee bean plants.
1. What's involved? Special growing conditions? Would a green house be
okay (in the UK)?
2. How many beans do you get from a single plant - so, how many plants
do you need?
3. Where to get plants which give a good tasting bean - if it helps my
preffered bean, at the moment, is Brazil Espresso perfeito Blend from
Has Bean.
Thanks a bunch - of beans :-)
Steve

Just an idea... A bad one by the sound of it :-)
Thanks anyway :-)

IIRC, a glasshouse somewhere near the summit of Ben Nevis should be just
about right, although it's been a couple of decades since I was in Wales.
