These are supposed to stay around 4 feet. Also, they can withstand pruning to keep them from getting too fat. You are also supposed to put them outdoors in the summer to pollinate. Marye, Yes, I guess you'd need a whole nursery of coffee plants if you drink it often. I think the plant is more of a fun and educational thing. Plus, it has to be pretty since it's flowering. It would seem fun to invite the neighbors over for homegrown coffee. Really, how often can you do that? Jennifer,

You can harvest and roast the beans, but you won't get much...you can buy green coffee beans online though, and roast them in a popcorn popper.

I've never heard of a small coffee plant. Still, it is tempting. I am a total coffee addict. Um, this is cool, but don’t coffee plants (Trees?) get really huge and fat.
