We loved this recipe for all its simplicity, it was flavorful and rocked the next day as sandwiches! I used a really nice premium dark roast coffee, seasoned the chuck roast with salt/pepper prior to searing. I'm going to try this next time in the slow cooker as I'm not usually comfortable leaving the stove on for that long of time (toddler in the house!) and will try this in a dutch oven as well. Keeper!

I thought this recipe was great. I made the coffee as strong as I drink it, which is fairly strong. I also used the suggestion of onion soup and cream of mushroom soup. That may be the reason I did not taste the coffee. I did sear the roast well then cooked on low for two hours, hours after which I finished cooking in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes. It was very, very good. Very tender, moist and full of favor. I used half of the juice in the pressure cooker, then steamed broccoli with the rest.this is a definite "use again" recipe.

Not sure what to say about this. It was not inedible, but thankfully I used pretty weak coffee. I could taste too much burnt-coffee flavor. Thanks, though.

I made this roast the other night. Perhaps because we drink Starbucks coffee, I found the coffee flavor overpowering in the dish, and did not really care for it. My husband has been eating the leftovers, but I can't really bring myself to do that. I made it with a side of brown rice, which we don't really care for either, so part of my dislike about the roast is actually due to that. I will look for a different roast recipe next time.
