A post by kels @Keally22 with the text “A vanilla latte w soy milk is technically a 3 bean soup but none of yall are ready to talk about that huh??”
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
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
Coffee beans
lol
Human bean
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 came here for this.
And clam chowder is just a savory latte with bugs in it.
OK Eleanor
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".

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.
Mmm love me some tofu sweat
Pfft, clearly I was not reading carefully.
Make it a mocha latte

Here to debate how Vanilla became a bean..
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..
Linked page main image doesn’t immediately seem to be a parallel…
So instead neat looks at coffee cherry/bean diagrams/cross-sections:

“When a mommy orchid loves a daddy orchid very much…”
No m'orchids. Just beans.
I'm ready. Let's talk about it.
It's true.
...
How's everyone's Spooky Day going?
Would be more of a broth or a tea no? There’s no substance which a soup usually has.

Isn't vanilla an orchid?
I still say it's a sandwich
is a hot dog a sandwich
no
is cereal soup
no
is a foo a thing-which-obviously-is-not-a-foo
no
I was about to comment "one of those isn't", then realized I was think of cinnamon for some reason.
Coffee isn't a bean
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.
