“Too many” kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not ‘countable’ as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

    you just discovered why we say ‘traffic’ and not ‘there were many trafficks on my way in this morning’.

    (It’s also why ‘experiences’ and ‘emails’ is very often wrong if we followed established rules like in the former instead of gleefully making up the very exceptions we then curse, like in the latter case.)
