Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee?

Interesting, but the all-knowing Wikipedia seems to agree with you:

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_bean:

Even though the coffee beans are not technically beans, they are referred to as such because of their resemblance to true beans.

I’m still tempted to try this, though.

Do not do this with dried beans. Most dried beans are toxic and need to be soaked and boiled for about half an hour to become edible.

From the Wikipedia page for kidney beans:

As few as five raw beans or a single undercooked kidney bean can cause severe nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pains.
