[ The video feed cuts on to reveal one Ford Pines, who looks a little frazzled but mostly just incredibly excited. ]
Greetings, Trench! I'm sure we've all noticed the difficulty of growing and acquiring plant-based foods in Trench - including coffee. I know some people have manages to cultivate their own crops, but I was hoping to come up with something that might work on a larger scale. I tried a spell to replicate some coffee beans I acquired last month and...
[ Ford rotates the camera, revealing that he's in the middle of some sort of laboratory-slash-workshop - and that in the middle of said workshop is a massive pile of coffee beans, about as tall as Ford himself. ]
It may have worked! But I need help testing this batch to make sure they're the correct flavor and free of any side-effects. Anyone who'd like to assist can stop by and grab a bag whenever they like - I'll be here all day!
[ And he'll include a link with directions to his house. ]

The beans are much, much weaker than normal beans in terms of taste and caffeine content. It'll take 3x-5x as many beans to get a cup that tastes right. This batch will be free of side effects.

[ The prospect of replacing blood with coffee beans... He can see the merits, but: ]
It may be possible, but in Trench it may be a waste of blood and coffee beans.
Still, blood transmutation may be worth looking into. If you could convert your own blood into coffee in an emergency...

On the other hand, maybe you could manipulate that effect to give yourself an instantaneous caffeine boost!

Oh, have you had your coffee tried as is or has anyone tried adding stuff like milk and sugar to it? 'Cause I've heard people do the latter with regular coffee if they don't like drinking it black, but I can only wonder if that would affect anything with blood magic coffee.
