I don't know if you need more than one plant, I will ask her.
Sugar has an indefinite life, just keep it free of moisture and bugs and it's fine. Because of that, I vacuum seal my sugar bags and just toss them into a large rubbermaid tub. I saw my grandmother keep hers in a huge tin for years, I think it held 50 pounds...she stockpiled during the Depression and WW2.

Someone on another forum told us that Price Chopper (eastern) has coffee plants for sale in coffee mugs (for gifts) and she has been growing coffee for years. She reccommends it, and has never had any problems; roasts the beans herself at home. She says to keep them in a big planter on wheels and move them around to sunny windows in the winter. I think she hauls her's outside in the summer.
