The goal is a balanced dish in which coffee supports the other ingredients while still contributing its own roasted character.

☕ Why Coffee Works Here

Adds roasted depth and balances coconut sweetness. The coffee is deliberately measured at ½ cup " f"and used as brewed coffee. That form matters: it controls how the coffee enters the dish and how its roast character is distributed.

Recommended roast: Medium Roast. Balanced roast supports coconut and vanilla without becoming bitter.
