Use the red wine vinegar tip, it can't hurt and it will probably help. If the amount of coffee intimidates you, substitute beef broth for some of it. I browned my meat in a pan first, and added veggies to it while it was cooking. I liked the addition of coffee to this pot roast and will probably use that again. Thanks for the recipe!

I was really hoping I would have a use for my leftover breakfast coffee with this recipe. I made the recipe with a high cut of beef roast, and prepared exactly as suggested. The roast turned out dry and flavorless and the juice was really not good enough for gravy.

I made this recipe quite frankly expecting a failure. All i had was a cheap cut of meat and flavored coffee. I made it in the slow cooker with Toasted Coconut flavored coffee, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. It came out DELICIOUS!!! Even the gravy tasted amazing. Will definitely make again and again.

Pretty much followed the recipe as written, made in slow cooker. Mine did turn out dry, however, but had a good flavor. I waited until my husband was done eating and asked if knew what I used to make it. He had no clue there was coffee involved until I told him. Thanks for the recipe.

Sadly, I really had hopes for this recipe, but it just did not turn out well. As much as I love coffee and roast, maybe I just don't quite get them together.

It was good and different. I could tell a subtle taste of coffee was in there. Everyone enjoyed it and welcomed the different flavor to the usual pot roast. I also used baking cocoa before. Delicious both ways.

This was great. I added a can of beef broth, salt and pepper and half an onion because I wanted a lot of gravy. The meat was extremely tender.

Maybe I did something wrong, but the meat was rare/medium rare as planned, but it was seriously lacking flavor. Not good at all.

I have used this recipe for years. It's fabulous! I use coffee, a couple shakes of worchestershire and a bit of soy sauce. No salt if you use the soy. Trust me this is great

This is blissfully simple and so good - tender and flavorful - with no coffee taste - just rich beefy flavor. I froze half and served it the 2nd time over noodles. Any recipe that lets you throw a hunk of meat in a pot, add the leftover morning coffee, leave for the day and come home to dinner is a keeper.

Yes,this recipe sounds " interesting" due to the coffee and vinegar. I am here to tell you that this has to be some of the best roast ever. It's a good savory taste but is a clean light dish, as sometimes roast recipes are a little too rich for me. I generally followed the instructions except a few tweaks here and there. I will be serving this again!

not a bad roast...not great either...I didn't enjoy the gravy too much, although I am a coffee lover...I have done my roast like this for years, just insert garlic into it before cooking, but I tried this recipe for the coffee...I'll probably just stick with beef stock next time.

The best roast I have ever had. Husband and kids could not believe that it was made with coffee. Very tender and seasoned throughout. The only thing I wouldn't do again is make the gravy with the juices......had a distinct bite to it, didn't taste like coffee, but was very sharp. Would be much better with a milder brown gravy.
