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.

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.
