I was also skeptical of the coffee addition. I loosely followed what kimshin2000 did-added water,soy sauce, thyme and oregano, as I did not have beef broth or any wine (terrible situation!) It reduced so nicely that I decided we really didn't need the calories of the sour cream-it thickened into a very rich, flavorful gravy. Thank you for the idea-I will be toying with this one again!!!!!

This was an amazing recipe. I was curious but skeptical about using coffee, but it turned out to be great. I used one and half cup of espresso (about 6-7 shots?) plus two cups of water. I didn't have any beef broth or buillon, so to enhance flavor, I added fresh rosemary, thyme, some cajun seasoning, one plus cup of red wine, and about two tablespoon of soysauce. I had to cook it for about four hours, and the meat was tender and ready to go. Coffee seems to have given the meat a earthy, almost gamy flavor. I served it at a small dinner party, all my friends thought it was amazing.

Delicious. Very moist and flavorful. Followed suggestions on reducing amount of coffee to 4 cups and adding 2 cups of water. My husband and I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the recipe.

This pot roast had little flavor. I expected the juice to taste like coffee and beef but it really just tasted like mushroomy water. I had to doctor it up with Schillings beef gravy mix (6 Tablespoons did the trick). It also was very dry and tough but that may have been my cut of beef. I still have to give this just one star because pot roast is generally pretty easy to make yummy.

This recipe was wonderful! Very flavorful and easy! I followed the tips from the other reviewers and added beef broth, red wine and less coffee (but very strong coffee) and loved it!

Yummy, I used a chuck "steak" it was only about a pound or two, I only used a cup and a half of coffee, and 2 cups water and 2 buillion cubes. I seasoned the meat first with spike and emerils stuff, and pepper. It was excellent.

The only change I made was to add a couple of beef bouillon cubes in addition to the full amount of coffee. This was wonderful over noodles, I will definitely make it again.

My question is this: Why in the heck would you make this if you don't like coffee? That aside. this is what I did: I used Cafe Bustella, a Puerto Rican Espresso (make it very, very strong). Everything else was akin to the recipe but I did add some Cabernet Sauvigon at the beginning, as well as beef broth. As a side dish, I scraped some white corn off the cob and made cream corn, also served some homemade cole slaw. Every bit of this was excellent. Thanks! And by the way, play around with this recipe as nothing is written in stone. Be brave coffee lovers!

I wasn't sure about this recipe because of the coffee, but I am so happy that I tried it. After reading the reviews I knew to make some changes so I also cut the coffee down to 4 cups and added two cups of beef broth. I also added some Montreal Steak Seasoning and salt for that extra zing. The roast completely fell apart it was so tender, in fact I almost couldn't turn it over without it breaking apart at the halfway point. We will definitely have this again.

I did make a few changes after reading the reviews, I cut the coffee down to 4 cups with 2 cups water, and added 2 beef bullion cubes. I didn't have fresh mushrooms so I used canned and it came fine. Also since I started this late in the day I threw it into my electric pressure cooker for 80 minutes. The family raved about it!! I will definately use this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Note that I cooked this recipe in my slow cooker. While the roast was tender thanks to slow cooking, I can't say that it was especially flavorful. I expected more oomph from the coffee and mushrooms. Keep in mind too, that it's a good idea to temper the sour cream before adding it to the hot sauce otherwise it will separate like mine did. : (

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. I found that I could not taste the coffee and the sauce overall was rather bland. Admittedly, I had difficulty thickening the sauce...maybe I should have just used half the liquid after cooking the meat. The meat itself was very tender and 'fell apart'. I don't think I will make this again.

I cooked this in the crock pot and it was easy to put together but I too, thought it had a really strong coffee taste. I don't drink coffee so that could be why it tasted so strong to me. I added a packet of dry gravy mix which helped it a little.

Tender and tasty. The advantage of slow-cooking being you can put it together and walk away. The sauce is particularly good-especially if you are a "gravy loving" kind of person.

I ALWAYS have left over coffee, so I tried this out on the family and everyone liked it. I did, however, spice it up a little bit as I tasted it durring cooking. I used stew beef; added a few seasonings, some worchestershire sauce, and beef bullion, along with a few cups of extra water... for I boiled noodles right in with it at the end... I did not need to thicken it. I served sour cream at the table to save on calories. I will play with this recipe some more. Thanks!

The sauce has a strong, overpowering coffee flavor, and overall it is very bland.

My family loved this roast. 5 hours is a long time but it just sits there and cooks. My child didn't care for the sour cream but she ate it anyway which says a lot for the dish. A definite cook again.
