Informal slang for coffee, playing on the fact that coffee is brewed from roasted coffee beans — making it, technically, bean water. The term is used affectionately and humorously by coffee drinkers and detractors alike; the slightly reductive label can be self-deprecating ('I need my beanwater') or mock-dismissive ('just beanwater'). A secondary, older sense refers to actual water in which beans have been cooked, and a regional New England US sense meant high spirits or energy (possibly via the stimulant association). The coffee sense is the most current.
