If you let a coffee bean dissolve under your tongue, it hits you instantly?

Question

Is it true that if you let a coffee bean dissolve under your tongue, the caffeine instantly affects you as it dissolves?

Answer 1

Coffee beans do not dissolve...they are crunchy and gritty like dirt. If you chew one up and hold the grit under your tongue then you might get the caffeine a little quicker but not enough so as to get a caffeine rush.

I do not drink coffee but I love chocolate covered coffee beans! About 5 beans will equal the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee.

Answer 2

I also like choc covered coffee beans, and like the aforementioned person stated, you have to chew a couple of them before you feel the effect, it sorta hits you when you least expect it.
