Starting coffee from green beans

I noticed a posting about "rare" coffee seed being available. I don't know if it is general knowledge but coffee can be germinated from fresh green coffee beans so you can then have access to truly topshelf varieties like gesha and others. I have not yet tried this (I am waiting to develop some "overstory" first) so I cannot comment on the germination rate. If you search on line, there are many articles on it, here is one:

Have you had chance to try this since?
Was looking into attempting same. Wanted to try growing liberica & robusta for fun.
I don’t intend to get much out of it, but cool to have em goin/growin.
