  17. Brian says:

    Start from the left, go a quarter of the way to the right, then almost at the very bottom, there is an actual face looking up at you, not a face made of coffee beans like i was looking for.

  18. denise says:

    THIS IS WHY YOU SEE FACES IN…BEANS. NOTHING SPOOKY ABOUT IT I PROMISE!!
    Pareidolia (pronounced /pɛɹaɪˈdoliə/ or /pæraɪˈdəʊliə/), first used in 1994 by Steven Goldstein, describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being mistakenly perceived as recognizable. Common examples include images of animals or faces in clouds, seeing the man in the moon, and hearing messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- – amiss, faulty, wrong – and eidolon – image, the diminutive of eidos – appearance, form.

  25. nena says:

    it is scary!!!!!

  26. Katie says:

    OHMIGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was staring at this photo for like the longest time and then I finally saw the face!!! Its not IN the coffee beans, it IS a coffee bean!!

  27. Kate The Cat says:

  32. Oliver says:

  33. Hot Stuff says:

    Yep, there it is. Creepy. IT’S WATCHING YOU. Yeah. Right there at the bottom. Right there. Scary if you ask me. I’d say scary. Oh, did you just ask me? Well I think it’s SCARY. :(

  34. Hot Stuff says:

    Kinda gross, actually. You go to get some coffee one day and you here a tiny voice screaming. “Where is that coming from?” you ask yourself. Well, it’s that bald Coffee bean hobo dude. But you don’t know that, and you acidentaly drink his juice. Yuck.

  35. Yulo Garcia says:

    Well, the first face I saw looked like a chubby baby. It’s the one near the bottom right corner. Kind of looked like Chucky if you ask me.

  36. camille(the optical illusion lover) says:

    i see a finger too big as the face lol

  37. ME says:

    he’s creepy.
    i hate when people say ‘yeah i see it, but i also see.. blablabla’
    Do you really have to say you see something else to feel special?
    Bealive me. You’re great the way u are, even tought u don`t even see it.

  38. MnM s says:

  39. MnM s says:

    hey….. he has hair really look around its poking up around him. mabey not…

  40. Hrble says:

    I always thought that the man was a pattern in the beans, no just one bean. But I looked at this one day, and then I saw it.

  41. Greeng11 says:

    I found as soon as I read the 2 conment

  42. tristin says:

    this is not an illusion ,this is like the freaky clow vide u see on youtube!

  43. dude says:

    That’s not an optical illusion, just a face fotoshopped into a pile of beans… It would be an optical illusion if there was a pattern in the beans that looked like a face, this is just lame

  44. unknown says:

    yeah ur right
    i see that annoying lil man everytime i see the pic

  45. Nick says:

    Haha, found it like 5 seconds after I opened this.

    I started at the bottom.

    The face isn’t in the bean, it’s a bean itself.

  46. Aggie says:

    It’s not THAT scary, it’s so freaking weird. :)

  47. sam says:

  59. Jamia says:

    as soon as i found him i thought he was gonna come out the computer & murder me !

    im dramatic :)

    but i got really creeped out .

  60. sarah says:

    you know you dont have to make up stuff to seem more smart or imaginative its just stupid. like whoever saw a kitty face … im not impressed. dont really like the bald coffee bean man

  61. Lyrics says:

    I disagree with Sarah a bit. Though not an impressive illution compared to others on this site, it is still one that will stump those who have never seen it before for a few seconds or minutes. He’s in the lower half of the picture somewhere ^_^

    • jorjeea says:

      lolz! its kinda funny :3

    • Erin says:

      OMG I seriously looked at this for 5 minutes and couldn’t figure out wtf I was looking at! I scrolled up after looking at your comment and saw it immediately! Thanks! lol… ugh

    • anonymous says:

  62. kitty kat says:

    i found him so i think Sarah did it wrong :D

  63. McFly says:

    i sore it once but ive lost it D:

  64. WinnieDaWho says:

    so is there any possibility that there’s a picture containing a trace where the face of the man is?

  65. imnottellingyoumyname says:

    lower left !

    P.S My name is Archie

  66. T. Rose says:

    Those are some really, really, big coffee beans!!!!

  67. name says:

    this helped me as good stuff,

  68. a nony mouse says:

    it’s more of a “where’s waldo” and less of a “put the beans together to create the shape of a man.”

    • Bee says:

      Looks silly dont it.
      We did it at school and me and my mate Robyn found it within secound. The rest of the class took 15 minutes. By the end, Me and Robyn couldnt gte freaked by it anymore and showed everyone.

    • Bee says:

      Anyway, What im trying to say is.
      Theres an ACTUAL human face in the lover left. You dont make a shape.

  69. Jennifer says:

    wow,that took my mom an hourXDD

  70. craig says:

    it was crap the guy looked like a bean

  71. jay says:

    owwwwwwwwww i see it. Look at the darkest bean, you’ll see a semi side profile face of a person. I thought a 3d illusion which is not. Face on a one bean.

  72. optimusprime8 says:

    Its not the darkest bean, for those who absolutely fail to spot the face this image shows you were it is.

  73. Thundersong says:

    Thanks,optimusprime8, but you should let other people try to find it on their own…

  74. MossCow says:

    From dictionary.com:

    il·lu·sion
       /ɪˈluʒən/ [ih-loo-zhuhn] –noun
    4. Psychology . a perception, as of visual stimuli (optical illusion), that represents what is perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality.

    This isn’t an illusion. It’s a “hidden picture,” like they used to put in Highlights Magazine.

  75. Honey says:

    It’s cute and funny illusion, I like it :)

  76. Cuddles says:

    That head is just disgusting!

  77. barbeesha says:

  78. Michael Robins says:
