No thanks. I'm in a hurry this morning.

appears that green (unroasted) coffee beans *can* germinate.
Absolutely, we have several coffee plants growing in pots in our sunroom, sprouted from green (meaning un roasted) coffee beans. One point to remember though, the greens should be reasonably fresh. Ross, Ontario, Canada. New AgCanada Zone 5b

According to:

you can.
And more good news, because the flowers are perfect, you can get coffee beans from a single plant. I get about a quarter cup once a year from a seven foot plant. ;-)
Thanks for all that I'm off shopping :0) Ford.
I'll have to tell my mom :)
Hershey used to offer sproutable cocoa beans (many years ago) but I never had any luck with them. Anyone here addicted enough to have tried growing their own chocolate? :)
