I personally love to make cold brew iced lattes with my infused simple syrups. Also if I'm baking I add coffee to anything chocolate for a more complex flavor.

Early morning is my mental prep time for the day and needs to be accompanied by a good cup of coffee from my French press. It is an 8-cup press and, while I could drink that much, I shouldn't (at least not more than once or twice a week). What to do with the remaining coffee? Pour it in a mason jar and put in the fridge. Mid-afternoon slumps require iced coffee!

No matter what the season, I love a cup of steaming hot coffee in the morning with just a bit of cream. On a warm summer afternoon, nothing beats a cold brewed iced coffee. I also frequently use coffee when baking chocolate cakes and brownies. It adds a lovely depth of flavor. My favorite coffee recipes that are pretty much staples in my kitchen include KelseyTheNaptimeChef's Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies (https://food52.com/recipes/1172-double-chocolate-espresso-cookies) and mrslarkin's coffee syrup (https://food52.com/recipes/11227-coffee-syrup).

Mouth-watering spicy pumpkin bread, made with a touch of Hair Bender coffee blend,walnuts and cocoa nibs in the batter. And of course, a cup of Stumptown Hair Bender coffee to validate the goodness.

My burr grinder isn't the best so it accumulates espresso-grind fine powder in the receptacle. Adding a bit of the powder to overnight steel cut oats gives some great coffee flavor plus a caffeine buzz. Waste not want not.

As intended; as a hot way to start the morning or cold afternoon pick-me-up. I use brewed coffee or espresso in several barbecue sauces I make as well and use fresh ground beans as part of my barbecue dry-rub from everything from brisket to ribs.

My mother's favorite icing was mocha, so naturally it became mine. A fresh vanilla cake with mocha icing topped with Homemade coconut ice cream made with coffee and bittersweet chocolate chips. Then there is iced coffee with coconut milk and dark chocolate powder. Double yum, ok now my mouth is drooling! (I use the coconut mild since I cannot always have milk. Can be purchased unsweetened, sweetened, vanilla flavored and blended with almond milk. Really great in my coffee). Coffee is great when used in a beef or pork marinade. Stay green and use the coffee grinds for so many things like flower beds, dying clothes, dying your own paper for card, etc...........

There is nothing like the aroma of freshly ground Stumptown Hair Bender coffee beans grinding in a Harlo Skerton coffee grinder, except for the rich taste of the fantastic coffee brewing. I would spread the coffee grounds in standing water in my yard. I have heard it can be used as a mosquito repellant.

All our coffee grounds go into the garden. I like to contribute this years wonderful blueberry crop to our enriching the soil with coffee grounds in the middle of a drought.

Start the day with a big mug, and for dessert vanilla bean ice cream and good coffee either mixed or float like. Don't forget to reuse grounds in garden and coffee ice cubes for your iced coffee won't water it down.

I make super mocha macarons! For the shells, I use a traditional recipe with almond flour but I mix in a pinch of super finely ground espresso. Then for the filling, I make a dark chocolate ganache with heavy cream that's been steeped in ground coffee or espresso then strained. They balance the delicacy of French macarons with a real punch of flavor!

In the midst of summer I pour my favorite coffee into my individual bunt cake molds and freeze for a low calorie dessert with a dollop of whipped cream drizzled with melted dark chocolate. So very satisfying and better than sorbet.

Make Espresso Ice Cube Lattes. Pour cold milk over strong espresso ice cubes and let it slowly melt and infuse the coffee flavors. I also like to infuse espresso into my waffle mix or make espresso syrup for my waffles. Coffee in my breakfast = Breakfast of Caffeions!

Coffee has a million uses, it's amazing. Body scrub! Compost! Cleaning the grit off your pans!
Food wise: Coffee ancho chile sauce on some short ribs or just generally used as a rub for beef! Brownies! Tiramisu! Caramels! Homemade Kahlua and Bailey's!

Well, my absolute favorite way to use coffee is to just down cup after cup of good coffee (with plenty of milk and sugar). But I also have a shameful shower-staining habit of using my leftover coffee grounds to make a body scrub paste! I take my day's worth of used grounds and tap them out of the filter and into a small bowl. I add a little glug of olive oil or liquified coconut oil. I take that into the shower with me and scrub away! It's my lone weird-at-home-DIY-beauty-concoction. If I'm not careful rinsing the shower afterwards it does stain the tiles-- nothing some elbow grease can't get out, but definitely unsightly until I bother cleaning.
It's been such a lovely way for me to get another use out of my grounds that I continue to do it despite the extra work I have to put into cleaning my shower!

Coffee over ice cream or gelato (not quite affogato since it's not espresso, but it still tastes great). Coffee grounds are also an excellent addition to our compost bin!

Instead of pouring the coffee over ice cream, I make floats. Personally, I prefer espresso, so I put a small scoop of vanilla into a shot of espresso. It's a gorgeous sight when done in a clear glass. Even more so with a caramel sauce drizzle. : )

When I'm not drinking coffee, we use the grounds in our compost to help create some very rich soil for our garden. And sometimes in ice cream recipes!

I like to add a little to a pan deglazing liquid, it adds a good color and depth of flavor that most people don't recognize as coffee. And of course, i always throw the grounds into my compost pile.

I love espresso and uaing my espresso machine to experiment with other coffee drinks.
The left over coffee beans I use as fertilizer and the left over coffee as an eye bag remover using cotton circles. Coffee is present in every aspect of my life!

I add coffee grounds to my bbq for my ribs and to my steaks as well. It adds depth and a bit of earthiness to it and really complements the other spices as well. Coffee grounds are a must for most meats on the 'que - from briskets to flanks, from beef to pork - it really kicks up the flavor!

I use coffee a lot in cooking. Fun way to see what foods work best with coffee and seeing what the outcome will be. I regularly make coffee beef stew which is amazing, coffee burgers, steaks.... All using brewed coffee of course!

I cook a lot with coffee and create (in my mind) elaborate coffee tastings. I like to step outside of the box and do things that I haven't seen before. My favorite thing ice done was create a coffee pasta dough, which I made ravioli with, stuffed with leeks pine nuts and ricotta, topped with a strawberry chili sauce. It was incredible.

I echo the comments about adding brewed coffee to chocolate cakes to accentuate the chocolate flavor. Espresso powder is great for creating coffee flavors, though. Homemade cold brew is also a summer favorite.

I like to use half coffee/half almond milk in my banana protein shake. It tastes great & provides great post-workout recovery: 1/2 cup cold, strong, good quality coffee; 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana (or use fresh banana and add a few ice cubes), 1 scoop protein powder (18g+), 1 scoop stevia. Blend up and enjoy.

Sprinkle good ground coffee and honey on aged cheese. I saw Jamie Oliver do this on his show while I was living in London. I was skeptical. Honey, yes, but coffee on cheese? It's actually quite good, and I occasionally still do it--though maybe that's because it brings nice memories of a my cozy London kitchen.

Ahh, good coffee… So many ways to use it beyond my morning cup.
Add some brewed coffee to any chocolate baked good, not enough for a distinct mocha flavor, just to richen the chocolate.
Mocha anything is, of course, also wonderful.
And I love affogato!
Make White Coffee Ice Cream: add about 1/4 c whole beans to the milk of your favorite vanilla ice cream recipe as you scald it, then let steep for 10-15 minutes before straining them out and continuing as usual. (Using whole beans means it doesn't turn brown.) Even non-coffee-lovers like this, and wonder why it's so much better than 'regular' vanilla.
Put the used grounds around tomato plants. Makes great mulch.

I don't really drink coffee, but my dad got me hooked on coffee milk (a Rhode Island specialty that he became enamored of after a series of business trips to Providence) so I like to brew an extra strong pot and cook it down with a bit of sugar to make my own coffee syrup. A little bit stirred into whole milk gets you somewhere between extra light iced coffee and melted coffee ice cream (which is an excellent place to be, in my opinion)

We melt chocolate over beans, let them cool, and pop them as desserts. Also, I use the grounds in my trash can with baking soda to get rid of built up smells. Sometimes too i put coffee beans in a basin with a candle, and when lit, it emits a delicious and subtle coffee aroma through my room :).

I love making cold brew concentrate: I can really taste the beans. I also love to add the coffee to ice cream (even at night). I have brined beef in it before which was delicious, but I never thought of using it on chicken. Maybe an African origin would do well there?

I love to use sweetened coffee to soak chocolate cake. In addition to the instant espresso already in the cake, the coffee soak deepens the flavor even further...and of course builds a nice foundation for coffee buttercream. So....pretty much in every layer.

I'm a coffee lover but when I needed to stain the unfinished blond maple top of a kitchen island I recently purchased, I was looking for a food safe stain. Wet coffee grounds came to mind and I stained the top a beautiful brown color by scouring the top using the wet grounds. The wood "furred" a bit but I sanded it using a brown paper bag on my electric sander and now it's perfect in color and safe to cut on or make sandwiches or whatever.

I just got back from my first trip to Portland this week and amazingly enough I just discovered the awesomeness that is Stumptown Coffee. I brought back the Hair Bender blend for myself and as a gift for my parents. I've been freshly grinding it for my morning coffee but I plan on using it soon to add depth to a chocolate cake recipe and in homemade ice cream.
