    I live in New Zealand, a place with a climate not too dissimilar to the UK though I’m told we see the sun more often.

    A few years back we had our first commercial coffee growing operation set up.

    You can buy it here.

    That’s about USD$33 for 180g (coffee is a drug so I assume sold in grams in the US?), so it’s nothing short of “pretty fucking expensive”, but still interesting (horrifying?) that a commercial coffee operation can work here.

      You’d think that, but it is not. I buy 12oz bags of coffee. Alcohol is also sold in both fl oz and ml, so a bottle of beer is 12oz, and a bottle of booze is 750ml.

        And caffeine in the coffee would be listed in milligrams, but the alcohol in beer and spirits would be measured in percent and proof.
