For a richer gravy, try using bacon fat instead of vegetable oil. Don't skimp on the coffee! The stronger the brew, the more intense the flavor of the gravy. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or coffee to thin it out. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat.
