Description

The Coffee Plantation is a New World farm that grows Coffee Beans in Anno 1800. First, it requires no input goods, so it begins producing as soon as it is placed. Next, it steadily generates Coffee Beans at a rate of one ton per minute. Finally, these Coffee Beans are sent to the Coffee Roaster, where they are turned into finished Coffee for the Coffee production chain.


What is produced

These are Coffee Beans in Anno 1800, and they are needed to produce Coffee. First, they are grown on a Coffee Plantation in the New World. Then, at the end of the chain, the Coffee Roaster turns them into finished Coffee.
