Roasted Figs are used as an ingredient as a coffee substitute or a roast coffee additive, enhancing both flavour and texture.Known as "Viennese Coffee," a blend of fig coffee and traditional roast coffee originated in southern Germany in the late 19th century. Due to their high sugar content, roasted figs offer a unique taste—naturally sweet yet slightly bitter from caramelisation. Adding around 15% fig coffee to regular coffee results in a thicker, subtly sweet brew, making it a popular choice for those seeking a rich, flavourful alternative.

Fig seeds - Roasted and ground.
My father used to buy Blue Danube coffee, now sadly unavailable that had an amazing flavour, which derived from the figs included in the mix. It is the flavour you get when abroad in Austria.
This has enabled me to recreate that flavour.

Fig
Adds a subtle taste to coffee. A little goes a long way. Very pleased to obtain this as it's not widely sold.

It's more about the colour than the flavour
I like to add just a little soasted fig to my coffee. Initially to smooth the flavour of poorer quality coffee. I now use a much better quality coffee (Maragogype) but still use the fig as it makes the coffee look much darker and richer; they do say that sight enhances flavour.
