Now We’re Cooking—With Coffee Recipes

We always encourage people to try coffee in different ways. For instance, we recommend experimenting with different roasts, various grinds, and unique brewing techniques. But what about cooking with coffee? 

This month, South Slope Coffee offers exciting recipes using brewed coffee and coffee grounds, as well as unusual ways to incorporate coffee into your everyday cooking. All of them delicious, these concoctions vary from showcasing coffee-forward profiles to milder hints of coffee notes. If you make anything we suggest, or if you have a back-pocket recipe that you stand by, please let us know in the comments. We look forward to experimenting with you!

Bon appétit!

Begin with Breakfast
