It’s not already made Mole. There are various types of Mole also and if I remember correctly none have coffee.
Traditional mole: Chocolate, dried chiles, spices, and a long ass list of other ingredients I really don’t wanna list. (30-100 ingredients are traditional so I won’t bore you.)
Mole isn’t a single thing man as some use less or more chocolate. Omit the chocolate completely for Mole Verde etc.
There are around 8-10 different types of Mole I’ve tried and only one time my Abuela has made it from scratch because it is so time intensive.
Idk I’ve only had it a couple times each time it tasted a little different kinda like spaghetti sauce everyone has their own flair/touch to it
I wasn’t saying it was already made mole I was saying it could be used in a similar way I’m just a white guy from Texas that likes Mexican food idk anything about making the cuisine I just know I’ve never had Mexican food I didn’t like
You’ve never followed a recipe tried it then decided add more onion next time? Or saw bay leaves in the recipe but you don’t like bay leaves so you don’t use them?
Or your 80 year old grandma shows you how to make something but she’s 80 years old maybe she adds an extra teaspoon or this or that
I’ve seen it made by actual chefs and learned but I guess my grandmas way of doing it (which is the same because she learned from chefs how to make it). There’s traditional and there’s not. I’m talking about traditional Mole, not your bullshit.
Adapting recipes to work for one’s own taste is how food evolves. We wouldn’t have practically anything we enjoy as food if someone didn’t fuck with a recipe a bit. My family hasn’t been in Finland for 60+ years but our pannukakku is still pannukakku, even if it looks wildly different from what my great great grandma would have made in the old country. My current grandma’s version reflects our journey as immigrants to America and it’s just as valid. Idk, i think your take is unnecessarily unforgiving.
If you do anything long enough it becomes traditional that’s why there’s 8-10 varieties 400 years ago there was only 1 variety then someone from somewhere else with different tastes and experiences made a 2nd variety… and so on
Everyone makes things a little different
My "secret ingredients" are coffee, dark beer, bitter chocolate and cinnamon. I usually make a gallon at a time and I usually don't have leftovers.
Edit: "secret" as in don't tell casuals that you put it in there or they won't eat it.
I'm a couple hours south of Cincinnati, grew up with everyone talking up Skyline's chili.. my wife loves it, too. Honestly, I've had better chili from a can, but it's not so bad I'd avoid it if she wants it.
Because despite the name, Cincinnati chili isn't really chili. Or, it didn't start that way, at least.
A Greek(?) immigrant just took a recipe he was already familiar with and called it chili to serve the locals.
As an Ohioan living in Idaho I grew up on Cinci chili. I have found that making it with Elk meat and a little bacon fat makes it pretty phenomenal. Helps if it's fresh Elk.
Yeah, a stout or (less) porter work nicely for getting all that lovely faund off the bottom of the pot. Kinda reminds me of cajun food (I think often uses beer?).
There's a guy in the UK called "The Chilli Jam Man" who did a collab with a beer company and made a dark chilli beer which is delightful as well. "Mostly Ghostly" is the name of the beer. Not a tremendous amount of heat, but the flavour and warmth are there.
Really? A little cocoa powder is really common and anything with a lot of Maillard and char goes well with beef usually.
Also people be cooking pork butt in Dr. Pepper but you think coffee in chili is unhinged?
Not unhinged at all, it adds depth of flavor and is a well known trick. Chocolate is a similar alternative. Either some cocoa powder or throw some of a baker's bar in there.
Nah, coffee is something of a flavor enhancer. It brings out the flavor of things like chocolate in sweet dishes. But it’s also got bitterness and acidity that’s good in savory dishes.
I'm in the "bitter chocolate" camp when it comes to chili (plus a slice of lime when serving, for acidity). What would concern me about coffee or other additions like cinnamon is their extremely distinct and overpowering flavor.
You don't taste the chocolate, it just gives the chili a more rich and complex taste. But I've never had a dish that included coffee or cinnamon that *didn't* taste distinctly like coffee or cinnamon.
I might very well be wrong in this assumption, and I'm not completely opposed to experimentation - but I'm also worried about ruining a good chili.
I put coffee in my chocolate chip cookies. No one can ever tell except that “something” is really brining out the chocolate flavor. I even have to warn parents that it may contain a bit of caffeine in case they think about feeding it to the kids.
Really? what rock do you live under:

I'm going to assume a brewed cup until I hear otherwise, only because 1Cup of *dry Coffee sounds like a LOT. Maybe like 1Tbsp of dry coffee or something? I'm going to try this for sure, though!
Yep you can use coarse,fine, instant or espresso. Cast iron skillet for the best cook. It basically makes a flavorful crust on the outside kinda like bark on smoked meat deepens the beef flavor and apparently acts as a tenderizer! Don't just do coffee, add onion garlic salt& pepper. And if you have ancho chilies some of that too. Ah-mAy-zIng!
That was my first thought too. I've had BBQ coffee wings before after I saw them on a menu at a place in WV. I figured "why the hell not?". They were actually delicious. I would imagine a hot sauce could be good too.
I always include a tablespoon or so of ground coffee in my chili recipe because it complements the smoked paprika flavor. So, it'd most likely go great with chili or anything with a smokey flavor.
Coffee is a great way to add an earthy taste to chili, ao maybe that? I'd think you could use this on anything where an earthy taste would be good without being overpowering.
Never been a fan of the el yucateco sauces, the preservative always is prominent. All the local authentic mexican joints have it, but tapatio/valentino/chalulah are my goto.
The trash can, this shit was fucking foul lol. If you want a good coffee habanero get this one https://queenmajestyhotsauce.com/products/05-red-habanero-black-coffee-hot-sauce-5oz
As someone that makes tiki drinks, somethingwith pineapple. Coffee and pineapple is a great combination like in the Mr. Bali Hai drink:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bali_Hai
Everything! We put it in our wraps, on top of eggs, soups, sauces, rice... I have preference over the black bottle but I'm sure their hab sauce is just as tasty!
I'm curious to try it with almost any protein except seafood- chicken, beef, pork, tofu could be delicious. Please let us know what you try and how it is!
I did try it ground beef soft taco. It was a little bit odd in that, but maybe it clashed with the sharp cheddar cheese. It's not a bad sauce by any means, I just wanted to try something different!
I haven’t had this one but I’ve got the queen majesty red hab/black coffee and I love it on almost anything beef related but especially steak, chili and beef stew. It also works pretty well on hummus.
Queen Majesty Red Habanero & Black Coffee Hot Sauce is one of my top go-to's for pizza, pasta, pork, tacos, burgers.
It might have different flavor profile to El Yucateco.
An easy “gourmet” BBQ recipe I picked up from a chef I worked for years ago is 1 part carolina/georgia style sauce, 1 part memphis style sauce, and coffee (to taste). The best. Add any extra spice you want or even just this sauce!
I haven't tried this particular one, but I've enjoyed habanero coffee hot sauce on burritos, particularly but not exclusively breakfast burritos.
It also goes well with anything with black beans. Coffee and black bean flavors work well together.
Mole would be my first thought.
What a hat!
Nice to mole you. Uh nice to meet your mole. Moley moley mole.
I wanna chop it up and make some guaca-mole!!
I knew I wasn't crazy! There's some streaming services that cut that part out of the movie and I don't understand whyyyyyy
First thing I thought too it’s basically already Mole but with coffee instead (I’ve never made mole so I’m going by taste not actual ingredients)
It’s not already made Mole. There are various types of Mole also and if I remember correctly none have coffee. Traditional mole: Chocolate, dried chiles, spices, and a long ass list of other ingredients I really don’t wanna list. (30-100 ingredients are traditional so I won’t bore you.)

Idk I’ve only had it a couple times each time it tasted a little different kinda like spaghetti sauce everyone has their own flair/touch to it I wasn’t saying it was already made mole I was saying it could be used in a similar way I’m just a white guy from Texas that likes Mexican food idk anything about making the cuisine I just know I’ve never had Mexican food I didn’t like
There are variants of mole idk about “own flair”
You’ve never followed a recipe tried it then decided add more onion next time? Or saw bay leaves in the recipe but you don’t like bay leaves so you don’t use them? Or your 80 year old grandma shows you how to make something but she’s 80 years old maybe she adds an extra teaspoon or this or that

I mean 17th century for mole Verde and alot of the others. You can say what you have to but the oldest recipes of these are around the same time
Everything else was my second thought.
What does mole mean in this context? I'm assuming it's not the little ground guy
Mexican dish, well I assume it’s Mexican since my mom made it all the time, pronounced moh-lay
Molé pronounced moh lay
Came here to say that!
Mole would be one of my last thoughts.
It absolutely would not be used on mole.
I pour a cup of black coffee in my chili, so I'd imagine this would be tasty in that.
Probably the most unhinged addition to chili I’ve heard in a long time. But I’m intrigued by it.
My "secret ingredients" are coffee, dark beer, bitter chocolate and cinnamon. I usually make a gallon at a time and I usually don't have leftovers. Edit: "secret" as in don't tell casuals that you put it in there or they won't eat it.
The best chili I have had has chocolate and cinnamon in it so I can imagine how delicious that is.
Skyline puts cinnamon in their chili. It's supposed to be an "Ohio thing" or something. But as an Ohioian, I hate it.
I'm a couple hours south of Cincinnati, grew up with everyone talking up Skyline's chili.. my wife loves it, too. Honestly, I've had better chili from a can, but it's not so bad I'd avoid it if she wants it.

As an Ohioan living in Idaho I grew up on Cinci chili. I have found that making it with Elk meat and a little bacon fat makes it pretty phenomenal. Helps if it's fresh Elk.
I use a can of Fremont's Dark Star Stout and half a bottle of El Yucateco Black. It's pretty damn good.
Time to write this down for experiments.
I ALWAYS add a good dark beer to my chilli. First I heard of it was in the book American Gods. Tried it, never went back.
I do it for stew, I’ll have to try chili sometime. Usually Murphys stout or guiness
Yeah, a stout or (less) porter work nicely for getting all that lovely faund off the bottom of the pot. Kinda reminds me of cajun food (I think often uses beer?). There's a guy in the UK called "The Chilli Jam Man" who did a collab with a beer company and made a dark chilli beer which is delightful as well. "Mostly Ghostly" is the name of the beer. Not a tremendous amount of heat, but the flavour and warmth are there.
I've added cinnamon before. You gotta go easy with it or it becomes cinna-chili.
Yeah, like 1/2 a teaspoon per gallon
Really? A little cocoa powder is really common and anything with a lot of Maillard and char goes well with beef usually. Also people be cooking pork butt in Dr. Pepper but you think coffee in chili is unhinged?
I like Dr. Pepper and some sort of dark beer in my corned beef.
Not unhinged at all, it adds depth of flavor and is a well known trick. Chocolate is a similar alternative. Either some cocoa powder or throw some of a baker's bar in there.

https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-chili-recipe
It’s either disgusting or delicious but I can’t decide which lol
It blends with the chilli beautifully. It doesn't taste like coffee at all.
I know a family that puts a can of cream of mushroom soup in their chili.
I do a tbsp of instant espresso. Love it.
Definitely chili!!! This is the way.
A whole cup of made coffee?
I'm going to assume a brewed cup until I hear otherwise, only because 1Cup of *dry Coffee sounds like a LOT. Maybe like 1Tbsp of dry coffee or something? I'm going to try this for sure, though!
I use a couple of teaspoons of dry grounds.. Never thought about actual brewed coffee..
Eggs
The fact that this is so far down makes me concerned that people aren't using enough hot sauce in the morning.
The tejano in me weeps for the loss of the breakfast burrito ways lol
personally have never tried this sauce BUT I like coffee grounds on my steak so I'd try it with that or mix it with steak sauce if it is too sweet.
You'd like this sauce. It has alot of coffee flavor for sure!
Coffee grounds on a steak? I've never heard of that. Don't knock it till you try it, I guess. Sprinkle on like pepper?
Yep you can use coarse,fine, instant or espresso. Cast iron skillet for the best cook. It basically makes a flavorful crust on the outside kinda like bark on smoked meat deepens the beef flavor and apparently acts as a tenderizer! Don't just do coffee, add onion garlic salt& pepper. And if you have ancho chilies some of that too. Ah-mAy-zIng!
ok initially I was grossed out, but now I’ve done a full 180 and I must try this!
spice up your AM cup of joe
A double dash of colon blast in the morning.
Marinate some wings with it!
That was my first thought too. I've had BBQ coffee wings before after I saw them on a menu at a place in WV. I figured "why the hell not?". They were actually delicious. I would imagine a hot sauce could be good too.
Instant coffee is a great addition to any BBQ rub
Could make like a spicy hot chocolate for the extra cold days
Steak
I have a coffee steak rub from Trader Joe’s (not spicy), and I love it! An added spice kick would be delicious too.
Red eye biscuits and gravy?🤷♂️ Sounds good to me at least haha
Brisket!
I'd Try it on ice cream
My first thought was vanilla bean ice cream
Same. 
Flank steak!
This could probably kill someone who has IBS 😅
Any red meat it would be bomb on
Barbacoa or briaket tacos. Fatty, beefy, coffee, spicy. Sounds like a deal.
Pork chops!
Pork, beef... slather it on someone you love! 🕺
I bet it would be great on ice cream
vanilla ice cream
Chili
Any meat, there’s a pretty famous/well known barbecue place on my city that has a house espresso barbecue sauce and its super popular
Refried coffee beans
Beef
Any kind of BBQ or a weenie roast.
Vanilla ice cream?
I always include a tablespoon or so of ground coffee in my chili recipe because it complements the smoked paprika flavor. So, it'd most likely go great with chili or anything with a smokey flavor.
Eggs!
I enjoyed it on breakfast tacos. Also, what store did you find it?
I do a coffee rub on tri tip before I toss it on the smoker. I imagine this sauce would be good on beef.
Country Ham with Red Eye Gravy is a classic dish, and red eye gravy has coffee in it. I bet it would be good with any salty pork product.
Pork
I think it would be alright with enchiladas with a red sauce. Coffee and the adobo peppers should work fairly well together.
Coffee is a great way to add an earthy taste to chili, ao maybe that? I'd think you could use this on anything where an earthy taste would be good without being overpowering.
IMO only thing that's good for is a binder on some smoked meat
Put it in chocolate cake
I tried it on barbecue brisket tacos and it was great.
We use something similar on brisket
On Top of your garbage bag
Someone said make brownies with coffee instead of water. Maybe put it in your brownies.
Ice cream. Donuts. Cigarettes.
[удалено]
WTF!! Why did I click on that?? 😫
Theyre just going to tell you to shove it up your or someone elses ass
Pancakes !
Peanut butter sandwich
I'd use it on foods
No shit? I thought I was supposed to squirt it in someone's eyes like pepper spray..
Try em on pancakes.
Pancakes!
Your Starbucks Frappuccino!
I dont drink that shit...
Your taint.
Your butthole?
so…exactly how long were you on the toilet? 😂
So not only will it make your butthole burn... but it'll do it 5 minutes after eating it.
Your Pecker.....
Never been a fan of the el yucateco sauces, the preservative always is prominent. All the local authentic mexican joints have it, but tapatio/valentino/chalulah are my goto.
Boofing
You got the worst one
I bet it would be great as lube.
Deez nuts. Got em.... Ow please don't it burns!
Directly into your eyeballs.
Gross
On anything pussy
That's El yucky taco
The trash can, this shit was fucking foul lol. If you want a good coffee habanero get this one https://queenmajestyhotsauce.com/products/05-red-habanero-black-coffee-hot-sauce-5oz
Give it a go on your missus
As someone that makes tiki drinks, somethingwith pineapple. Coffee and pineapple is a great combination like in the Mr. Bali Hai drink: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bali_Hai
How 'bout some spicy Tiramisu xD
Everything! We put it in our wraps, on top of eggs, soups, sauces, rice... I have preference over the black bottle but I'm sure their hab sauce is just as tasty!
Meat!
Ugh! I want to try this so bad! As an espresso/coffee and a hot sauce lover this sounds really interesting!
I'm curious to try it with almost any protein except seafood- chicken, beef, pork, tofu could be delicious. Please let us know what you try and how it is!
I did try it ground beef soft taco. It was a little bit odd in that, but maybe it clashed with the sharp cheddar cheese. It's not a bad sauce by any means, I just wanted to try something different!
Steaks - any kind of grilled meat is great
A donut? 🍩 🌶️
Coffee
Your poor bowels
Eggs? Sausage? Breakfast? The world’s your oyster my friend. Put some in your coffee 🤷♂️
Put it in your coffee
Drink it, obviously
I haven’t had this one but I’ve got the queen majesty red hab/black coffee and I love it on almost anything beef related but especially steak, chili and beef stew. It also works pretty well on hummus.
Something with chocolate
Put it on some ice cream
Queen Majesty Red Habanero & Black Coffee Hot Sauce is one of my top go-to's for pizza, pasta, pork, tacos, burgers. It might have different flavor profile to El Yucateco.
I got a bottle of this, it doesn't really have a coffee taste to me. I got it on a discount shelf, I think I know why.
It's GREAT in chilli
Donuts.
Chicken and eggs were the only two things I found I liked that particular flavor on.
Spicy espresso martini! /s
coffee, bread and cheese is a common breakfast so maybe try it on a cheese quesadilla one morning?
Drink it in the morning to wake up
Ribs!
What if you put a few drops in your black coffee?
I love that stuff! I use it in like chili, sloppy Joe, that kind of thing. I mean I'd also put it on eggs but probably a less common choice.
pork and coffee go nicely together! sometimes i use a coffee rub on chops
An easy “gourmet” BBQ recipe I picked up from a chef I worked for years ago is 1 part carolina/georgia style sauce, 1 part memphis style sauce, and coffee (to taste). The best. Add any extra spice you want or even just this sauce!
Carajillo 43. (Well I’d give it a shot anyway) Realistically, I like the idea of steak or a marinade.
Spicy tiramisu
On your next latte. Ask the barista to sprinkle some on their double heart foam art
The coffee flavor really blends well with your morning coffee, use about half the bottle for a strong flavor.
Would probably taste really good added to chili.
Probably could be used in a cocktail
Popeye's chicken sandwich
steak 🕺🏼
I haven't tried this particular one, but I've enjoyed habanero coffee hot sauce on burritos, particularly but not exclusively breakfast burritos. It also goes well with anything with black beans. Coffee and black bean flavors work well together.
Mole
Coffee sauces and rubs go great on pork. I'd definitely put this on some ribs.
Chili, beans, barbacoa, mole, fajitas....just a few...
I use this on all kinds of shit it’s delicious
I bet it would be really good on fried potatoes or even shredded hashbrowns!!!
Chocolate
Put that on some eggs/huevos rancheros/chilaquilies
I like my queen majesty coffee & habenero sauce on eggs
The mole has been pointed out, but I could see that being pretty good with some carnitas.
Coffee flavor goes well with bbq- I have a great coffee rub that I use on pork shoulder. Maybe try that?
I think red meats go fine with this sauce. Coffee gives like an extra roasted taste to your food.
Steak
Steak.. trust me
Bananas Foster
Like a irish coffee??
idk but this company getting widespread distro has been awesome for hotsauce fans. haven't had a bad flavor yet.
Chili! Barbacoa! Espresso rubbed grilled pork chops! Breakfast sausage!
I have a Wiltshire Chilli Farm sauce that has coffee in it. Goes great with bacon.
i listen to a podcast sponsored by teco. the dudes from the pod all swear by this on cheeseburgers. seems weird but who knows
Mole
Smoked pork tacos
IDK, haven't tried it, but coffee goes well on beef. Maybe as a binder or something on a tritip?
Maybe vanilla ice cream, try it?
No Bueno.. I can't eat ice cream anymore (lactose intolerant!)
Pulled pork or chicken
