Slow Cooker Espresso Braised Pot Roast {& A Starbucks Verismo Giveaway!}

I was provided a Starbucks Verismo Brewer and Starbucks coffee pods from Staples for my personal enjoyment in exchange for my honest feedback.  I was not compensated for this post or for hosting this giveaway in any other way.  All opinions expressed below are 100% my own.

I think that a quick scroll through the recipes on my blog will reveal two things about myself to my readers- I LOVE coffee. And I adore my slow cooker.  
No question, right? ;)

In this flavorful, moist Slow Cooker Espresso Braised Pot Roast, I have managed to deliciously combine these two favorites of mine into dinner time perfection. 
The Starbucks Guatemala Antigua Espresso adds richness and robust flavor to the everyday, run-of-the-mill pot roast.  I brewed the espresso in my Starbucks Verismo brewer.  Folks, you cannot come closer to having a freshly brewed Starbucks espresso in your home unless you perhaps have a Starbucks franchise and your own on-call barista at your disposable in your home. ;)  
But there is no need for either one of those things if you happen to own a Verismo.
