Coffee is good in dark sauces and ice cream. Properly made mole (árbol, iirc) with chocolate is divine, but time and labor intensive. I’ve never attempted it, but I bought a jar of the hard, oily stuff last shopping fr trip I did, which doesn’t have cocoa. It was an impulse buy, since it’s really too warm to be making such a heavy dish, barring an Easter cold snap that’s chilly enough, and I doubt I’ll make it then, since I’ll be busy for a few months. If you can get authentic, freshly made, I strongly recommend it.
I tried making rice with coffee once. It was fucking awful, but it was pointed out to me would make an awesome base for rice pudding. I hate rice pudding. I don’t know why I do the things I do.
Agreed. Certainly not common.
However, I have heard coffee being used as a food ingredient. Cocoa too (e.g. Mole chicken).

I tried coffee mixed with tea once. Only once.
