Ingredients for the coffee spice rub:

• 1 T. fresh ground coffee
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• 2 tsp. coarse black pepper
• ½ tsp. ground coriander
• ½ tsp. dried oregano
• ½ tsp. sea salt

Ingredients for the burgers:

• 2 lbs. ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
• 1 – 2 T. brewed coffee (adds moisture and depth)
• 8 slices of provolone cheese
• 8 burger buns (toasted to add extra depth of flavor)

Instructions

1. Make the coffee rub.
   In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, pepper, coriander, oregano, and sea salt. Stir to mix thoroughly.
2. Prep the patties.
   Form the ground beef into eight, ½-inch thick patties; make a slight indentation in the center of each.
3. Season generously.
   Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the coffee spice mix on each patty. Press to adhere.
4. Grill to perfection.
   Heat your grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 4 minutes; flip, brush with brewed coffee, and cook until done. Add provolone slices during the last minute to melt.
5. Assemble and serve.
   Place burgers on buns. Serve as-is, or top with your favorite burger fixings.

Why It Works

This recipe layers flavor in every element. The coffee and coriander rub creates a deeply savory crust on the beef, while the brewed coffee keeps the meat juicy and adds subtle complexity. Provolone cheese melts beautifully and adds a mild creaminess that balances the spice. It’s a gourmet cheeseburger with a smoky, slightly sweet twist—perfect for any burger lover looking to try something new.
