Coffee beans are edible you can just eat them.

    I've always wanted to soak some and make some refried coffee bean burritos but the fascist in my head tells me "NNNNNoOOOOOOO don't do that" or "It won't work" damn it you've inspired me KolaCumTribute rat-salute-2

      Careful with how many you use because if you use as many as you would normal beans you will get sick and/or die if you eat the whole thing. I mean you probably couldn't eat the whole thing because eating like half a pound of wet coffee beans/grounds would be very unpleasant, but still that would be several grams of caffeine at least and anything over 1 gram puts you in "at best, you're gonna have a bad time" territory and it quickly gets worse as you go higher.

      I would recommend using no more than an ounce of coffee beans and mixing them in with a pound of other beans for like a "lots of beans and some of them are coffee, lmao" joke dish.

        Honestly I might waiver now if only because I can imagine the smell being so off putting 😩
