You sure can. Anecdotally, there are several stories: Monks used to eat coffee beans before long prayer sessions, African tribesmen used to eat coffee beans before going on long hunts. Keep in mind that thirty five to forty coffee beans is all you use for just one cup of coffee, and you're getting it in its pure form - 100% vs. the cafiene that is extracted as the water moves through the coffee grounds-- So coffee beans pack a good strong punch.

If you decide to try this you may prefer the taste of chocolate covered coffee beans.
