Ohio coffee shop owner "Our coffee is not for you."
Sells coffee imported from Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, but no USA grown coffee, obviously he's not the patriot he claims to be.

Son of Butch, There isn't a whole lot of true "US grown" coffee produced, tho I realize that production isn't the real gist of the thread..
California does grow some, and then Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
But, according to some 'in the know' people:
There is one more slight loophole in whether or not coffee can be considered American.
Coffee or Die heard from Andrew Hetzel, a coffee expert who has been featured as a leading coffee commentator in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Time magazine, on his thoughts regarding the origins of American coffee. He raises an interesting point:
"Farming is not the only significant point of origin. We must also consider two other production stages: roasting and brewing. By customs law, once green coffee is roasted, it is materially transformed sufficient for a new designation of origin. Green coffee from Mexico roasted in America becomes American roasted coffee by international law. American farmed coffee roasted in Mexico becomes Mexican roasted coffee. The transition happens again upon extraction and brewing. A Hawaiian coffee roasted in Mexico then brewed in Switzerland is a Swiss product. So, by this definition, it's just the last step that makes any cup of coffee American."
In short, coffee can absolutely be 100% American. Whether it is grown on the volcanic soils of the Kona coffee belt or harvested in a greenhouse in the middle of suburban America or roasted in a Black Rifle Coffee Company facility in Tennessee or Utah, one thing is for sure — coffee is a product of the world's most diverse melting pot, and that's what makes it so remarkable.
But, that opens the whole thing about imported beef being "100% American Beef" just because it was inspected by USDA inspectors after it got here.
