Yo do realize that this is a video game right? It doesn't have to be realistic and you concerns about "factory farming" really don't make a whole lot of sense given the fact that this IS A VIDEO GAME! If you are not going to use the new facilities (as you stated about the coffee grinder) then why complain if those that want to use it are happy with its functionality?

Our devs are hard at work trying to give us what we ask for and it seems rather inappropriate to complain about what they give us. They cannot and will never be able to please all Farm Town users. If you don't plan to use some feature that they give us great-don't use it but don't come and complain about it either!

Not trying to be rude but if we wanted reality we could go buy real cows and coffee ice cream then real world concerns might apply.

I don't consider your comments rude at all and yes, of course I realize that this is a game and I am not "complaining," merely commenting and exchanging comments with others. One person, in fact, explained that in the real world, coffee ice cream is made from ground coffee, by the way.
As for fish farming, another person (in this or one of the other threads) had brought that point up first.
One of the fun aspects of FT has been that, unlike that "ville" game, it's stayed a bit more realistic in design and concept.
And, no, I wouldn't expect any game to actually replicate reality.
Thanks for your perspective on FT.
