How to use coffee beans?

Take 1 tablespoon coffee beans and crush them using a mortar and pestle or rolling pin. Add the grounds to pie crust dough for a nice crunchy texture or use them in chocolate cake batter for a pleasant aroma. 

You can also turn coffee beans into coffee salt.  Simply blend 2 teaspoons coffee beans with 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Use this salt mixture to season fish or even in salad dressing. Subtle flavor guaranteed!
