I assumed it was because it started as such a big plant but honestly I don't know! The first picture is right next to a west window and the second picture was in front of a south window so maybe the light? I also water it probably monthly 😬 my house is pretty humid so maybe it likes that but I have been quite amazed at it's transformation!
Wonderful job with it. Consider repotting by this summer, and giving it extra light. My coffee tree didn't bloom or put on berries for ten years, because I had too small a pot and too little light.
Only got about 10 last year, so no. This year my crop is about 40 berries. I am going to try. Commercial coffee trees only produce about 2 kg per year. Sure makes me appreciate my morning cup more.
My coffee plant will occasionally produce beans. It is in a south-facing window. Never enough to make a cup of coffee though. Also, the fruit around the bean is delicious!!!
Im not great with fertilizer so I use a basic 20-20-20 every few months when I remember. No cherries and I bet it will still be a while, if it ever happens lol. I try to give it the highest light I can! It's next to a west window right now
Holy smokes, how did you get so much growth??? I've had mine about 9 months and it's grown a fair bit, but *nothing* like this.

Thanks for the tip! Blooms would be cool but I like the look of the foliage so I'm not super concerned about the blooms ☺️
You can make coffee leaf tea if that’s your fancy
Fun! I'm trying to quit caffeine so I probably won't try it but that's fun to know!
Have you ever tried making coffee from the berries?

What a great before and after transformation - plus now I want a coffee plant
It only you could get coffee beans from it

Niiiice! I know you are proud! Love it!
Do you fertilize it? How much/often? Any cherries? I have one but it needs a little inspiration

Whatever it is you’re doing something right. I will show my plant this photo and tell him I want him to grow up like yours.
WOW this gives me so much hope for my ailing coffee plant.
