Growing a coffee plant

[shivvy]

Is it possible to grow a coffee plant from a green coffee bean? I can't think why it wouldn't be possible and if so, is it as simple as popping it in a pot of compost and putting it somewhere warm?
Thanks

This, from a seed catalog:
Arabicaaccounts for about 75% of the world coffee production and is the coffee that specialty roasters search for. Coffea arabica is easy to grow indoors, makes a very attractive houseplant and if it likes you well enough it will even reward you with flowers and berries. A six-foot plant can produce two to four pounds of coffee a year. Grow in medium light, or filtered or indirect sunlight. Use a rich, acid soil kept moderately moist. Peat moss in the potting mix will help provide acid conditions. Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 85 degrees. Give the roots room to grow. Hardy to 28F.
A caveat; many coffee beans are hybrids and as such may not produce fruit true to form. If your contemplating raising your own coffee, obtain your seeds from a reputable source. Best of luck! (make mine Guatemala, 160 degrees F, room for cream please)
