Does anyone else use cold-brew coffee in savory dishes? Or is it just me?

Hi, all! This might sound a bit out there, but I’ve started using cold-brew coffee in savory dishes (like braises or marinades) for a slightly smoky, bitter note, and I swear it works! Has anyone else played around with this idea, or am I just being weird? Haha. I’d love to hear if anyone has any creative ways to use cold-brew beyond just drinking it! ️🍽

Hey! That actually sounds super interesting, and you're definitely not weird for trying it! I’ve heard of people using coffee in rubs for meats or in chili to add depth, so cold-brew could totally work too. I bet it gives a nice, rich flavor. I’m curious to see how others are using it—there’s gotta be some cool ideas out there!

You're definitely not alone—cold-brew coffee adds a deep, rich flavor to marinades and sauces, like a secret ingredient to elevate your dishes!
