I know how it works and I’ve seen coffee plants in real life. I didn’t know the fruit is called a cherry in English. They don’t look much like cherries apart from being red…
A coffee bean is a seed from the Coffea plant and the source for coffee. It is the pit inside the red or purple fruit. This fruit is often referred to as a coffee cherry, and like the cherry, it is a fruit with a pit.

So going by OP’s analogy, we should make cherry juice out of all the varieties of cherries.

You can make cherry juice, but presumably you’d do that by crushing the cherry meat to extract the juice. That’s different from how coffee is made. To create cherry coffee, we’d have to take the cherry pits, dry them, roast them, grind them, then pour hot water over them.
