Fantastic Recomendation

Really like the Carpe Diem. Was recommended and I wasn’t too sure. Used in a slow cooked stew and was lovely!! With a nice little kick.

Incredible Flavour

I’ve used the sauce to marinade steak prior to cooking on the bbq, other times I’ve used it poured over a sliced steak. I’ve also used it when cooking Beef Short Ribs in the oven, adding the Carpie Diem into the cooking liquid lifted the dish to another level. Give it a try, you’re missing out!

Coffee Sauce – Bronze Winner, Great British Food Awards 2023

When you want bold flavour, reach for Carpe Diem Coffee Sauce. This unique sauce combines the rich yet delicate depth of coffee with smooth, roasted notes. Because it won Bronze at the Great British Food Awards 2023, you can trust that it delivers both quality and taste.

Smooth Coffee Flavour Without Bitterness

Many people expect coffee to taste bitter, like a sharp espresso. However, Carpe Diem focuses on the earthy, chocolaty, and roasted side of coffee instead. As a result, the flavour is smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy. In addition, it adds depth without overpowering your food.


Easy Ways to Use & Enjoy Carpe Diem

Versatile for Barbecue and Kitchen Cooking

Carpe Diem Coffee Sauce is not only great for barbecues but also perfect for everyday cooking.

  • On the barbecue Brush it onto ribs, pork belly burnt ends, brisket, or vegetable proteins. Because it caramelises beautifully, you get a sticky, glossy glaze full of flavour.

  • In the kitchen Stir it into beefy stews & winter warming chilli & Bolognese dishes. Swirl it through gravies, or mix it into marinades. Therefore, every dish gains instant richness.

  • As a dipping condiment or drizzle Pour it over burgers, wedges, aubergine, halloumi, or smokey jackfruit. For example, try it with roasted aubergine for a modern twist.

Why Choose Carpe Diem?

  • Recognised with a national award for flavour.

  • Rich coffee taste without bitterness.

  • Works as both a barbecue glaze and a cooking sauce.

  • Hand Crafted in small batches, so quality comes first.

  • Made in the UK

Elevate Every Dish

Because it layers earthy notes with gentle roast and subtle chocolate tones, Carpe Diem Coffee Sauce lifts both meat and plant-based dishes. Whether you are hosting a summer barbecue or preparing a winter stew, it adds character. In fact, it even works as a quick dip for wedges.

So, if you want a sauce that is unique, versatile, flavourful, and award-winning, Carpe Diem is the one to keep in your kitchen. With every taste, it helps you “seize the day”, one dish at a time.
