Oh. My. Gosh. Cannot believe anyone said this was bland with all of those strong flavors! It was off the chart delicious! I will make this over and over and will try it on chicken tomorrow night!

No one in my family really cares for pork chops, so we tried it with chicken. Not the best. It was bland and generally lacked flavor.

I agree with Vieux. I have made this numerous times, and it never fails to be absolutely delicious. I use good quality pork (Schwans) and follow the recipe pretty much verbatim. It is not overpowering, and definitely not bland. I was skeptical the first time i made it as i had never cooked using coffee before, but again, it was a wonderful recipe that my husbands loves.

First time using coffee with meat...surprisingly,we enjoyed it! The only reason we didn't like it as much as possible was my own fault--I should have been more patient with the glaze because it was way too runny.
