The initial assortment of bears featured four characters: Brewster Bean, Frenchie Vanilla, Mister Mocha, and Hazel "The Nut." Each of the bears' midsection is stuffed with coffee beans of the corresponding flavor aroma. The bears came packaged in a coffee tin and were sold with a numbered "coaster of authenticity." The bears are no longer in production. Coffee Bean Bears were marketed towards adult teddy bear collectors or avid coffee drinkers. The beans were packaged in a netted bag placed in the back of the bear through a Velcro opening, and gave the stuffed animals a fragrant aroma through a porous burlap/jute material.

The "Brewster Bean" bear was nominated for the ''2007 Golden Teddy Award'' buy Jones Publishing in the "Dressed/Accessorized, 5-14 inches" category.
