<p>I live in Czech Republic. Quite far away from coffee belt.</p>

<p>If I wanted to plant, harvest, process and roast my own coffee, would I be able to actually do it?</p>

<ul>
<li>I have my own garden</li>
<li>Obtaining coffe plant to actually plant it would be a challenge, but not impossible</li>
<li>I could plant it in my own greenhouse.</li>
<li>Obviously, I do not plan to sell it for business, just for my own purposes.</li>
</ul>

<p>So, theoretically: Am I able to actually produce me coffee in "drinkable" quality? </p>

see this question for how much a single tree grows: http://coffee.stackexchange.com/questions/311/how-many-plants-are-needed-to-brew-a-coffee
and see this question: http://coffee.stackexchange.com/questions/56/how-to-grow-coffee-at-home/64#64
for growing tips at home. A garden will be different and your climate will have it's own differences but those might help.

So then you just need to find the specific coffee plant that will handle your climate the best. What altitude do you live at?

roughly 840 feets above the sea level (254 metres)

That is gonna be a problem for you. Coffee will grow at low altitudes if the temperature and water is sufficient, but it will grow slow and the flavor of your beans will suffer greatly. Best conditions are above 3,000 ft. Check out the info here: http://www.scribblerscoffee.com/flavor_effect_of_altitude

# Microplanting my own coffee

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-02-04)

I live in Czech Republic. Quite far away from coffee belt.

If I wanted to plant, harvest, process and roast my own coffee, would I be able to actually do it?

* I have my own garden
* Obtaining coffe plant to actually plant it would be a challenge, but not impossible
* I could plant it in my own greenhouse.
* Obviously, I do not plan to sell it for business, just for my own purposes.

So, theoretically: Am I able to actually produce me coffee in "drinkable" quality?

I suppose you can if you can first make a decent coffee plant(s) to first make the coffee.
