I just picked up a pot of coffee plants from Wal-Mart yesterday, they
were sitting in a plastic container 1/3 full with water.  I took them out
to let the roots dry out and am going to replant each one in it's own
pot, there's 6.  I'm not too familiar with growing them as a house plant,
any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Is this like the coffee plants you bought?

I want to get some myself. 7 years in Seattle turned me into a caffiene
junkie. And hopefully sometime this year I'll be moving back if everything I
plan stops going to hell, but oh well...anyways, I sure hope someone has
experience with them, I always prefer growing my own if possible.

Not likely that you will be able to grow coffee in Seattle and harvest
beans for your own brew.

Not even in a greenhouse? Oh well. I just reminded myself in the dandelion
post that the roots make a good coffee substitute(I've actually tried it),
and I know those can grow pretty much anywhere in the continental US. :-)
