Coffee "beans" are really the seeds from inside the coffee "cherry". A fruit grown on a shrub or small tree. Coffee beans as we have come to know them are really seed, two grow per cherry usually - except for the peaberry - where only one seed forms inside the coffee cherry and becomes concave. A genetic defect that is highly prized for its tangy, bright, elegant flavor (once roasted.)

The coffee cherry itself doesn't have too many applications, it is often tangy and bitter - only fed to animals. Some have tried to cultivate the coffee cherry into wine, unsuccessfully. Coffee is a beverage - made from the seed of the coffee tree - which produces fruit. Let's call it a fruit-beverage, or at least that is what I'm telling myself because it makes my 7 cups a day seem more healthy.

...And if you're hoping it counts as a vegetable in your diet, sorry. Coffee contains basically no nutrients that you would get from a vegetable. Plenty of chemicals of course, and there is some research to show that some of these chemicals are beneficial, but coffee by itself has essentially no nutritional value (only a couple of calories, even).
