Couldn’t have been a million years ago. My neighbor insists the earth was less than 10,000 years old.

If it’s all part of random cross mating, does that put coffee on the LGBTQ spectrum?

Pure fiction. Making stuff up, calling it science and research and getting paid for it.

I just got back from a ministry weekend and 3 days of Folgers. I couldn’t wait to get home to good coffee.

Spend more time with your neighbor. Listen to him.

Too bad the coffee plant couldn’t mate-up with the coca plant.

Nice work if you can get it!.....................

Your link about coffee going extinct scared me!

Until I read the story and saw the part about “global warming” being to blame.

Now I’m not so worried.

Your post is pure fiction, I’m sure that happens a lot.

Years ago Jolt Cola and a bunch of unkempt programmers got together and created Java, so, it happens now and then.

So, it wasn't the best part of waking up? :^)

Rubusta as grown in Việt Nam( and likely in Timor also but I have not experienced Timor coffee) is the best coffee anywhere except for the Kona of Hawaii.
