Can you make a bowl of beans w/ coffee beans and coffee with pinto or lima beans.?

Question

does it work like that, can you grind pinto beans and put it in a coffee maker

Answer 1

Coffee "beans" are not actually beans; they come from a small tree. And they are roasted before they are used to make coffee. So coffee beans and genuine beans are not interchangeable.

In the past, some people have used lightly charred wheat as a coffee substitute, but not so much any more. That's the basic idea of Postum.
