Coffee Burgers For Fourth Of July
Just in time for the Fourth Of July, here’s a recipe for coffee burgers. It combines two of my favorite things – grilling and coffee. I received a lot of weird looks and questions when I said that I was working on a coffee recipe, but the taste isn’t at all what you’re thinking. The coffee gives it a woody, almost cedar like taste that makes it really standout.
I should note, that if it’s not already obvious, I’m not a trained chef in anyway. I’ve had years of experience drinking coffee and working the grill, but I don’t know the proper terminology when it comes to cooking and recipes. The recipe is pretty simple and I love to experiment, so the recipe is constantly changing.
Serving size: Four burgers
Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef
1 heaping tablespoon of dark roasted ground coffee
2 heaping tablespoons of breadcrumbs
A dash of seasoned salt
A dash of pepper
A dash of oregano
Bacon
Cheddar or American Cheese
Potato Hamburger Buns or Kaiser Roll
And any other toppings that you like – lettuce, tomatoes, etc
Method
Mix the coffee, breadcrumbs seasoned slat, pepper and oregano into a large bowl.
Split the meat into four equal pieces and coat them into the coffee/breadcrumb mix. Roll them into a ball, then flatten about ½ inch thick.
I’m not going to tell you how to grill the burgers, I think everyone has their own technique. But I’ll say that I add the bacon and cheese after I flip them over a second time. As soon as the cheese is almost melted, I take them off.
Recommend serving with a cold beer.
That’s it really simple, but really delicious.

I think I’m going to try these tomorrow night. Have to admit I dont think i ever would of thought of mixing coffee and hamburgers
Let me know how it goes. I’ve mixed coffee with a lot of things, but thought of coffee and burgers, however, I’m glad I tried it.
Whoa! I am a big fan of unusual flavor combinations so I will have to try this out. It sounds cool! I never would have thought of putting coffee into burgers.
You know when you first mentioned this to me I thought you had completely lost your mind, I know that is still true but after this post it doesn’t sound too bad.
Coffee burger! Now that’s genius! I can’t wait to try this out. Coffee/espresso grounds seared onto steak make for an awesome flavor, I never even thought of doing it with a hamburger.
Thanks for making my mouth happy. If only it wasn’t 1 in the morning… I’d fire up the grill right now.
Holy smokes, these were good! I added a little onion powder and worcestershire (because I put it on everything), but just a little because I was really hoping for the smokey, espresso flavor to come through. They were awesome. Don’t overcook, or the coffee-ness dissipates. Interesting, unique and yums. Would also recommend a white cheese, like Swiss or Mozzarella. Oh! and a low-brow table Chianti.
Keurig – I haven’t tried it with steaks, but several people have mentioned that to me now, so I think I’m going to have to try that soon.
Staci Ducote – I’m so excited that you liked it! I’m going to have to try it with onion power and worcestershire sauce next time. I’m a huge fan of Swiss cheese, I should’ve included that. I really don’t do a lot of wine when I’m grilling, but a red wine sounds perfect to go with the coffee burgers.
I love this recipe! I’ve shared a link (in a big roundup of other coffee recipes) with our readers.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing my link in your article!
