How much do you think a square foot of coffee weighs?
A 20' addition to Redcloud could carry just over 2000 square feet of
cargo.
Could you cram 20 pounds into a square foot?
Joe
You cannot cram anything _into_ a square foot. Do you mean cubic foot?

Yeah a cubic foot.

The specific gravity of loose green coffee beans (that is, not
roasted) is around 0.85. In other words, a cubic foot is about 50
pounds of coffee.
