This is excellent...I would add one suggestion that I always used when I had my cafe....I would deep brown the roast in coffee and garlic atop the stove before putting in the oven on a very slow bake. The dark color not only looks great but adds to the taste.

This was really good. I left it on low in my slow cooker for 8 hours and it was really tender. I took a couple of other reviewers tips, added a teaspoon of sugar to the coffee to offset any bitterness, and added some vegeta for flavour. Even my 13 yr old who doesn't like coffee liked it.

This is an excellent, affordable & easy dinner. Try mixing in 1 pouch of onion soup mix. Thanks for the recipe.

I've made this recipe in a roasting bag always. Just follow the directions on the roasting bag per lb of meat. I use 2 cups of strong left over coffee from the morning. I slice the roast and insert cloves of garlic but that's it. They say not to add salt and pepper but I always do. I cook my potatoes, carrots and onions separately. The coffee really does make a difference.

I've cooked various cuts of both beef AND pork with coffee for years..so many, in fact,that I don't remember how it started. The coffee adds a depth and richness of color that doesn't happen with baking alone. It also enhances the flavor. Living in the south, red-eye gravy was the first time I'd ever heard of using coffee, but now I add it to nearly every kind of gravy I make - beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and sausage. I also keep a small jar of instant coffee on hand and use a teaspoon or two in certain soups and stews.

Truly delicious! This recipe made an inexpensive cut of beef taste like it belonged in an upscale restaurant. In addition to the coffee, I added about 1-1/2 c. beef broth (made from powdered boullion), 1/2 sliced onion and rubbed roast with blk pepper and chili powder. In 6 hours we had a very tender, very tasty dinner. I used the liquid to make gravy and served with garlic mashed potatoes, corn and homemade bread--how much more of an all-American meal can you get? Tomorrow the leftovers will become tacos to honor the hispanic side of my heritage :-) Thanks for the terrifically easy and tasty recipe!

Was pretty good but I wonder if using plunger coffee wasn't the right thing? Maybe instant would have been less bitter?

I was EXTREMELY disappointed with this recipe. The roast was extremely tough and bland. I'm going back to the roast my Mom used to make.

This was not so good. It was edible and OK, but I didn't find it to be anything special. I could not even detect that coffee was part of the recipe.

My husband a non-coffee drinker (ick!) loved it. I did add about 1/2 cup of beef broth to the recipe and included mushrooms, onions and diced up roasted peppers in olive oil and herbs. It was fantastic!!!!

Hubby will eat anything but he didn't like this dish at all. I added spices and was able to overcome the coffee taste and we used the meat for burritos.

This is a great recipe! I had a smaller inside round roast(2.5 lbs) I took someone's advice and soaked it in redwine vinegar in a ziplock bag overnight. I forgot to rinse off the meat before cooking it and the house smelled like vinegar all morning. I seasoned he roast well with garlic powder,mustard powder,salt and pepper, and browned it for a few minutes before putting it in the slow cooker. I put 3 quartered potatoes in the bottom of the crock, used a whole head of garlic, and added about a cup of beef broth. It was ready after six hours on low. SO tender and tasty. I was worried about it being bitter or strong with the forgotten vinegar and the coffee, but it was great. The gravy wasn't a favorite. I will definately use this (modified) recipe again!

It was lacking in flavor and very dry. Maybe I just didn't have a good piece of meat, I used a round roast. The only thing that saved it was the gravy/sauce, which could of had more flavor. I won't make again.
