Coffee beans
Coffee Beans are an item in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that the player gets from Brewster after working the part time job at The Roost Café. Depending on how well the player did, he or she can get either plain, good, or very good coffee beans. Coffee beans can be sold for bells or placed in the player's house. After receiving a set amount of coffee beans, the player will receive items from the Café Set.
Price
Normal coffee beans (1-4 correct orders) sell for 500 bells, good ones (5-8 correct orders) sell for 1,000, and superb coffee beans (9-12 correct orders) are worth 2,000 bells. However, at Re-Tail, villagers are happy to pay 1,999 bells for normal coffee beans, 3,999 bells for good coffee beans, and 7,999 bells for superb coffee beans.
Use
The coffee beans have no effect on the HHA score despite having the ability to place them. They also cannot be used to make any specific, special, or custom coffee blends and since the coffeemaker isn't a usable item, they can't be used to make coffee in the player's home either. It's only use is either to be sold at Re-Tail, to see how well you did on the part-time job, or to give to villagers to boost their friendship with the player.
