large Styrian scarlet runner bean
"großkörnige" describes the beans, so I think "large" makes more sense than "coarse-grained". I've never heard of beetle beans, so I suspect that this is Austrian English rather than English English. I suggest using English English, i.e. runner beans.

Armorel Young
: Yes on both counts - these are called "Styrian scarlet runner beans" (I encounter them frequently) and "large" does the job as we are talking about the individual beans, not the size of the pod.

Discussion
The accepted consensus, on the other hand, is that only the individual beans are to be deemed 'large'.
