Crock Pot Roast

I have always loved cooking roast beef in the crock pot. It can make a cheap cut a melt-in-your-mouth meal. I recently tried a recipe for a slow cooker coffee roast beef. I had heard of using coffee on your roasts. But I never imagined it would be that good. Well I was wrong. It was great. I played around with the recipe and have come up with my own never fail version. The gravy was rich and flavorful. Everyone I have served it to has asked me how I got my gravy to be so tasty!! Forgive me if the amounts aren't exact, as I have never written it down before and I rarely measure my ingredients unless baking.
