Find The Face In The Coffee Beans
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.

I love optical illusions, and this one is one of my favorites
July 18th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
lisa: coffee may do the trick…let me know when you need a clue ok?
El Gigante Verdoso: so, you’ve seen the face?
July 18th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Yes, can I say where it is?
July 18th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
Not yet if you don’t mind. At least you’ll be able to sleep tonight!
July 18th, 2007 at 9:16 pm

July 18th, 2007 at 9:19 pm

Glad everyone’s enjoying the coffee
It seems you either get it right away, or it gets you right away….
July 19th, 2007 at 6:53 am
mmmmm… the coffeebean is giving me a craving for some coffee and I just had some.
All I see is a heart but never have been good at these optical illusion things. Damn it. lol

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.
July 19th, 2007 at 8:34 am
see, coffee and fresh eyes work! i spotted it the moment it loaded! yay me!
July 19th, 2007 at 9:04 am

July 19th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
How many cups of coffee did that take?
Congratulations…
July 19th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
I see a lot of people had trouble finding the face.. so I should brag that I found it in less than a minute :DIt is scary!
July 20th, 2007 at 4:22 am

July 20th, 2007 at 10:39 am

Found it!!
July 20th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
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.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Sounds like a good idea…i might just do that!

July 23rd, 2007 at 11:36 am
wow, i just found it, and i cant imagine how i didnt see that immediantely
July 24th, 2007 at 12:19 am
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.
July 24th, 2007 at 3:57 am
Haha, I love when people cannot find it.
Try not looking at the top half so much
July 24th, 2007 at 10:02 am
HAHAHA! couldn’t find It at first, went to the bathroom, when I came back I saw it instantly! Great find! Congrats!
July 24th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
just look at every coffee bean.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
bottom left corner (almost).
July 24th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Hahaha, got it right after I was erading some comments
Just somehow looked right at him
July 25th, 2007 at 1:51 am
i barely glanced at it and found it. the dude looks nothing the beans except skin colour
July 25th, 2007 at 3:50 am
Lol yes I found it!
Thats so awesome.
Thats like insane.
July 25th, 2007 at 7:09 am
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?
July 25th, 2007 at 10:46 am
Oh wow, how the hell did I not see that sooner.
XD Now I can’t look at the pic without seeing the face.
July 29th, 2007 at 3:04 am
lol. i thought it was one of those see-through pictures:P
July 29th, 2007 at 5:04 am
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
July 29th, 2007 at 8:24 am
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!
July 29th, 2007 at 9:41 am
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!
July 29th, 2007 at 10:15 am
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.
July 29th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
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 !

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.
July 29th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
um.
not blowing my own bubble or nothing, but i found it within 10 seconds :S
July 30th, 2007 at 1:06 am
awww that’s lame…. found it within a couple minutes
July 30th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Found it. A little hint - Look for a nose
And that’s a very very little hint.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:33 pm
dang, wish i’d read the comments before i looked (they woulda helped). nice optical illusion (sorta) though.
August 9th, 2007 at 12:17 am
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…

February 22nd, 2009 at 6:41 pm
