I wasn't to impressed, not sure what i did wrong. But it did not have a lot of flavor, maybe it was the cut of meat i was using? I don't know, but i don't think i am going to make this again.

I made this recipe in the crock pot, exactly as it appears. The meat was very tender, very tasty. But I made the gravy from the drippings, and it was awful! It was so bland. I added salt, but that didn't do it. I guess I needed to finesse the gravy more, but I don't have enough experience with gravy to do this on the fly. Maybe I'll try it again sometime, after I devise a new "gravy" plan of attack!

Flavor is very bland. I added soy sauce, sliced onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. I would probably make again. Thanks.

Sorry... I just didn't like the flavor of the gravy using the coffee. It was really rich. I love coffee but don't like the beef/coffee combination.

Even tho I thought the coffee sounded wierd, and I HATE coffee, I gave this a shot. I am really glad I did. It is delicious. I did add some onion slices to it. I also added a little wine, cajun seasoning and little soy sauce. The gravy was delicious,and the meat was really tender. The left over meat I shredded, mixed with the gravy and had on toasted buns the next day. A keeper at our house!!

My son and I and husband really cannot even give it a 1 i had to throw the whole recipe out cause we could not even stand to eat it. Could not stand the taste of it, could be that we are not coffee drinkers do not know just did not like the roast beef mixture with the coffee. Sweet_angelgirl79

Very moist and flavorful. I didn't mince the garlic cloves though. I just inserted them whole into slits in the meat. Before serving I pulled them out, mashed them up and added them to the mashed potatos I was serving as a side. Yum! Had plenty of juices to make gravy. Made a great meal and super easy too!

This was fantastic. I too worried about the coffee making it taste burnt, and the gravy did have a tinge of that flavour. I added 2 beef bullion cubes to the gravy mix (and used my blender to make sure the bullion got fully mixed into the gravy), and it was wonderful!

Very simple and great tasting. Three out of the six people who ate this HATE coffee and have no idea the roast was cooked in it. Meat was very tender. Will definitely make again.

I was intrigued with this recipe as I am a coffee lover. How can the beef be so dry with all of that liquid? (In addition to the coffee, I added water and a beef bouillon cube. My husband hardly ever says "don't make this again" but did this time.

My husband thinks this is the best roast beef he has ever had! I started it stove top in a enameled cast iron dutch oven then put in oven at 285 for 3 hours and turned out wonderful. Tender, moist and flavorful. I did not make gravy---married to the only man who does not like gravy.

I made this roast just last week and it was so delicious and easy to prepare I am making it again this week. The gravy is out of this world. You don't taste the coffee at all, just a very tender roast with a yummy gravy. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Pretty good with the suggested alterations. I did the red wine vinegar marinade overnight, rinsed then seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders. Then I browned it in a little light olive oil before adding to the slow cooker set on low for about 6 hours. I also had to season the gravy with the same seasonings plus half a beef bouillon cube. It was okay but I don't think I will make this again.
