These are very chocolatey, super rich, and delicious brownies. I originally found this recipe on the Cook's Illustrated website and made their non-coffee version (same recipe, without the espresso powder). I used 4 oz bittersweet and 1 oz semisweet (instead of 5 oz semi) and melted the choc. & butter in the microwave. I've been searching for the perfect brownie recipe and this one comes pretty close! Thanks for posting Mirj! — Apr 27, 2006 Updating to add that the second time I made these I used the 5 oz semisweet chocolate and they weren't as good (for my tastebuds). I think the best combo would be to use equal parts bitter- & semisweet (where the recipe calls for just semi). This recipe is just begging to be tried again!

These are so good. They are easy to make on top of it. I plan on making more for the holidays. Thanks for another great recipe Mirjam.

I'm going to call these "Just One More..." brownies because that's what everyone who tried them said! I used bittersweet chocolate in place of the unsweetened chocolate but didn't change a thing otherwise. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful brownies! I didn't have unsweetened chocolate on hand, so I subbed bittersweet, and used espresso powder, rather than instant coffee. They were certainly enjoyed--thanks for sharing!

Loved the flavor of the coffee!! Not overwhelming, and compliments the chocolate very very well. It was moist and fudgy. I did not have unsweetened on hand so I used all semisweet and 1 cup of sugar instead of 1 1/4 cup. Next time I will try baking it for 35 min instead of 40 min so it will be more fudgy.

Wow, this was a wicked chocolate overload (which is a good thing in my book...lol) I did cut the sugar to just 1 cup and added half a cup of chopped walnuts. I might play around with different mix of chocolates. But, it's already darn good as it is! Thanks so much Mirj.

These are excellent...next time may try with 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate bits to add some crunchiness. Sprinkled powdered sugar on the top after they cooled. Will make soon again. I used a pyrex baking dish, greased with Crisco, cut Brownies in the pan after done , and they came out easily with no sticking.
