Now that's wild!

I do use cocoa powder in chili, but not coffee.
I have used coffee as a liquid for beef recipes in crockpot or pressure
cooker.

It's been rare tho' as I personally no longer drink coffee (for health
reasons). I may have to start saving some of the leftover coffee from
work and freezing it, as long as I know how long it's been sitting.

I think I'd pass on the cola, altho' I understand it's a great
tenderizer.
