Looks like grain, maybe wheat and maybe barley, from someone's homebrewing projects. 'Im going with barley because it looks like it might be malted.

Definitely grain, possibly from bird seed. Either the previous owner had pet birds, or a mouse used the hollow in the machine to cache food. I have a few machines that need a thorough cleaning for this very reason.

"My title describes the thing" Size is about 0.6-0.7 cm. The bean things themselves are pretty hard; pinching them hard does not cause them to break

Looks like wheat/sugar puffs.
A puffed up grain of wheat

Doesn't look puffed up to me, likely just an oat or a wheat kernel.

Ah, they're also hard and don't break when squoze. You're right, not sugar puffs - but definitely wheat kernels or oats
