Find The Face In The Coffee Beans

Filed under: Uncategorized — Steve Speirs @ 8:18 pm

face-in-beans.jpg

The image above combines two things I really enjoy – coffee and illusions. I first stumbled upon

the picture at Mighty Optical Illusions and was initially stumped by the question “Can you spot the face in this Where’s Waldo Illusion? watch double take in divx ”

Apparently there was a hidden “face” amongst the coffee beans, but for the life of me I couldn’t see it. Then, all of a sudden, it hit me….and now I can’t look at the image without seeing the face. Very freaky!

No clues unless you really struggle finding it. Who’s going to be first to find the face??

Update: I’ve just been informed that the coffee bean image was first featured on the Worth1000.com web site in her shoes dvd download . I’m not sure of the artist’s name, but if anyone knows it I’ll be happy to acknowledge the excellent work.
Update 2: peaceful warrior divx online The great El Gigante Verdoso has found the source of the original image and artist! Credit goes to furitsu for the Sweet Caffeine image.

  16. Nice post, although, I must admit I could not find the face. I am currently researching fair trade coffee wholesalers for my new guesthouse in the Caribbean though.

    Comment by Ross — July 20, 2007 @ 12:32 pm

  26. Hi, Steve. You should post more about optical illusions. You could create a “competition” about them, on the line of “Wordless Wednesdays” or “Green Thumb Sundays” I have seen on some blogs.

    Comment by El Gigante Verdoso — July 20, 2007 @ 8:18 pm

  27. Sounds like a good idea…i might just do that!

    Comment by MAtt — July 23, 2007 @ 11:36 am

  29. Please help me! I can’t see it!

    -never mind, I found it. Here’s a tip on finding it, there are no special tricks you need to use to find it, you just need to scan every last detail carefully.

    Comment by Flayme — July 24, 2007 @ 12:19 am

  30. Haha, I love when people cannot find it.
    Try not looking at the top half so much

    Comment by Anthony — July 24, 2007 @ 3:57 am

    Comment by Circles — July 25, 2007 @ 3:50 am

  37. This is the only one that I have ever been good at. I’m useless at the others. Did anyone else find it in 3 seconds or less?

    Comment by Tom — July 25, 2007 @ 7:09 am

  38. Oh wow, how the hell did I not see that sooner.

    XD Now I can’t look at the pic without seeing the face.

    Comment by Kar — July 25, 2007 @ 10:46 am

  39. lol. i thought it was one of those see-through pictures:P

    Comment by Thomas — July 29, 2007 @ 3:04 am

  40. awesome it took like 3 minutes and i thought it was going to take forever from what had been written underneath it but ……. wow , it kinda gave me a fright . Hes a little scary lol

    Comment by leo — July 29, 2007 @ 5:04 am

  41. Ohhh! I found it. I didn’t realise it was a head the size of a coffeebean that’s hidden. I thought it was one where you squint and the vague shape of a face appears ;D
    Great picture!

    Comment by Sam — July 29, 2007 @ 8:24 am

  42. OMG! took me ages to find it and i had to look at a few comments but yeah finally found it…i was spending ages thinking about how to make a face with the coffee beans but that obviously didn’t work and then i was “AHH it’s a face!…oh…right that’s what i was looking for…eek” but yah cool!

    Comment by ellie — July 29, 2007 @ 9:41 am

  43. I found it after about 2 minutes of searching but without me knowing that there is something there,I would have not seen it. This just tells us paying attention to details is sometimes important if you really want to see the real picture of anything.

    Comment by Edgreat — July 29, 2007 @ 10:15 am

  44. I also found it in a few minutes and was looking for it in the coffee beans. When you do find it ,it jumps up at you. Good stuff !

    Comment by Art Wismer — July 29, 2007 @ 12:39 pm

  46. Oh, jezz. That scared me. I was just looking at it and that face just kind of popped out like it wasn’t there before. Haha fun.

    Comment by xMindFreakyX — July 29, 2007 @ 4:36 pm

  47. um.

    Comment by ohsay — July 29, 2007 @ 6:15 pm

    Comment by vihrea — July 30, 2007 @ 1:06 am

  49. Found it. A little hint – Look for a nose :)

    And that’s a very very little hint.

    Comment by CursedPerfection — July 30, 2007 @ 8:01 am

  50. dang, wish i’d read the comments before i looked (they woulda helped). nice optical illusion (sorta) though.

    Comment by Ben — July 31, 2007 @ 12:33 pm

  51. it took me 4 ever to find it(i actually didn’t find it) since i didn’t find it i decided to play some x-box360 and invite my friends over (halo 3 woot) and i accidentally left the screen on so it took them like 5 minutes to get here but they wanted to use my comp and as soon as they saw it and i mean as soon as they saw it my friend Jeremy said “wtf is that guy doing.” i mean talk about a hawk eye…
