It is the coffee that adds the unique twist to this favorite supper dish.
Coffee is a staple in most Amish homes, so why not use it to flavor a roast? Leftover coffee is often used to flavor cakes, doughnuts, and even ice cream. Marinating meat in coffee would seem to add a certain richness to the flavor.
Yum! This recipe was shared with us by an Amish woman in Holmes County, Ohio.

sounds reasonable since coffee adds that really great extra flavor to meatballs.
