Nope two bean. Coffe “beans” are seeds.
After vanilla bean and soy bean, what’s the third bean?
Edit: I feel stupid
Coffee
I feel stupid
Don’t, many latte’s are without coffee. Chai latte, matcha latta, usually don’t contain coffee. I was confused too
English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk
Its not mistranslated, its caffe latte but the caffe part is cut off for brevity when ordering at a coffee shop.
I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation
Fair enough, more of a misuse as the word has kind evolved away from its original meaning.
If it makes you feel better, I asked the same question at first. Then felt stupid.
Tbf, if you ask this in an Italian bar you’ll get vanilla flavored milk with soy milk, and a puzzled look from the barista
Keeps you sharp for a little bit of the ultraviolence
Human bean
lol
Coffee beans
it is you, the player
You’re right. Coffee beans aren’t beans — they’re seeds.
Peanut butter is just refried beans.
Peanut butter is mashed peanuts. More like hummus than refried beans. The refried part involves cooking them a second time.
I mean, refried comes from spanish refrito which just means ‘fried well’. a dish that is called refrito doesn’t necessarily involve cooking ingredients twice. although in this case you do boil the beans first and then fry them, the name doesn’t actually mean you fry the beans twice as it sounds like it does
I came here for this.
i only cook my garbanzos once tho
Sure, but then you mash them. Technically, the peanuts you get in most stores have only been roasted once then mashed.
mmm peanummus
Mm, luckily “vanilla beans” aren’t actually beans. I think the people can handle the idea of a two-bean soup much better, don’t you?
Coffee is also not a been… So it’s just soy been broth with coffee and vanilla.
Coffee is still fruit juice with too many steps
Pfft, clearly I was not reading carefully.
Mmm love me some tofu sweat
It’s killer.
Make it a mocha latte
Coffee “beans” aren’t beans either.
what about kitten toe beans? i gotta know for my
chilibean stew
Does that make an iced cappuccino a gazpacho?
No, no. I think it’s time. It’s going to be tough, but I do think you’re old enough for me to answer some difficult questions. You see, son, vanilla beans aren’t actually beans. I’m sorry you had to learn this way, but sadly, that’s not all. Coffee beans are not actually beans at all. No… I’m sorry, kiddo — what you’ve been drinking all these years is soy sauce.
Is this some strawberries aren’t berries but cucumbers are stuff?
And clam chowder is just a savory latte with bugs in it.
OK Eleanor
A very thin soup. How about 3 bean consommé?
Hot bean water 🤤
Coffee is technically tea, but then bay broth (a foundation for chicken soup) is also technically tea.
I thought technically its only tea if it comes from a tea plant (otherwise its just a different hot water extract) but people will call everything prepared the same way (tea kettle and some kind of filter) a “tea” similar to how some people will call any kind of cola a “coke”
It’s technically an infusion though I don’t know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.
Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.
Black, green, oolong, white tea all come from the same plant. Its just processed differently. Everything that isnt from camellia sinensis isn’t a “true tea”.
See I didn’t know that, what with tons of herbal teas, but yeah the ones I look up seem to all be black tea + extras blended into a concoction.
Wouldn’t tea imply it’s some kind of plant leaves being steeped in water?
Plant bits with water filtered through it. An infusion.
Isn’t vanilla an orchid?
Here to debate how Vanilla became a bean…
“Am I a joke to you?”
Lol, that was a quick debate.
A Master.
the only things that aren’t jokes to me are racism and the dutch
that’s like 300 dollars worth of vanilla these days D=
As a bean? Yes. As a seed pod to an orchid? Absolutely not, I love you to the end of the earth.
You call that a bean in English? TIL.
We call it a bean in every language we know (so yes)
Who is “we”? In German it’s called “Schote”, which would be translated to “pod”.
In real English it’s pod too
Awwww schotttteee
TIL Schote pod
How does coffee become a bean? Sure we call it that but the coffee fruit is called a cherry and the “bean” is the pit.
Asking the questions we want answered…
You can’t always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes
You’ll find…
You’ll get ham and cheese
Not really in my experience.
And a pinto bean is just a pit of a pinto pod…
Linked page main image doesn’t immediately seem to be a parallel…
So instead neat looks at coffee cherry/bean diagrams/cross-sections:
Fun fact: The “cherry” part of the coffee cherry tastes awful, but the mucilage around the bean tastes sweet. (But it has a very “green” flavor, so not everyone enjoys it.)
Some coffee is dried still inside the cherry (natural process). Or you can take off the cherry and leave the mucilage (honey process). Or you can get rid of everything before drying (washed process). No matter which process you use, the cherry and parchment are always removed before roasting.
Before you ever even think about different ways of roasting, beans from the same variety of plant will have different flavor profiles depending on the drying process.
The time, thought, and effort that goes into good coffee at every stage is staggering. I totally understand why artisan coffee carries a hefty price tag.

How do koalas become bears
“When a mommy orchid loves a daddy orchid very much…”
No m’orchids. Just beans.
