After I made the post about instant coffee it made me think about adding coffee to brown gravy. I learned to do this from my Grandmother. When she made brown gravy she would either brew some strong coffee or cook down some weak coffee and then add it to the gravy. Not a bunch, maybe 1/4 cup at the most added to two cups gravy. When the gravy is done you can't taste the coffee in the gravy but the gravy just tastes richer in flavor without being richer in fat. It has more of that browned meat flavor. Just though I'd pass this on.
Cheers,
Eric

Not a big one for gravy (other than with turkey), but I might give it a try too.

A little OT but coffee tastes so good with chili, I thought about adding coffee to the chili recipe. Risky though.

I've added a small amount of coffee to chili, improved flavor without tasting like coffee. Adding soy sauce to chili has same effect...

What about Red-eye gravy?

Never had it, but it looked interesting in the Nashville episode of "Somebody Feed Phil".

I tried coffee in brown gravy for lunch today and IMHO it did taste better than without. This was in some store bought gravy from a jar, so.....

I could see that adding some depth and complexity to the gravy, sounds good. I too add coffee to my chili for the same reason. Depth and complexity

I'm glad you tried it and it made then gravy taste better. I have never had gravy from a jar that I know of, is it any good? Gravy is just so easy to make I never thought of buying gravy in a jar or instant in a packet.

It tastes pretty much like any other gravy to me, but I'm no gourmet. It's quick, easy and not much mess to clean up. Can't beat Mom's, of course...
