Wouldn't it just move more north or am I thinking too simplistic?

    It's a bit too simplistic; coffee doesn't tolerate the overnight lows that you get outside the tropics and only grows between 25°N to 30°S. You could in theory grow it indoors with artificial lighting like marijuana, but that's really expensive.

    I bet a time will come when it will be worth it, like heated greenhouse tomatoes.

    I have one coffee tree in my living room. If I take it outside in the summer I might harverst enough for two large cups in a single year.

    Roasting beans on a kitchen oven sucks and basicly any brand in stores tastes better (probably because of my shitty roasting).

    It takes years and years to establish a reliable farm. Climate change is happening faster and more unpredictably.

    Also, it's not just temperature/latitude that plants rely on, it's soil, elevation, humidity, and sunlight. Those are really hard to change.
