Plural of coffeeberry; the red or dark berries produced by coffee plants that contain coffee beans.
From coffee (Arabic qahwah) + berry (from Old English berie, related to Old High German beri). Coffee was called a 'berry' because the fruit resembles berries, though botanically it's a drupe.
Coffee doesn't actually grow as beans—those are seeds inside a fruit. The coffeeberry itself is what the plant produces; the 'bean' only emerges after processing. So technically, when you're drinking coffee, you're drinking brewed coffee plant seeds.
