1/4 teaspoon Starbucks Vive instant coffee

Remove from heat and whisk in butter.

8 bacon slices, cook while your grill heats up. (medium high)

Toast buns on grill until golden (about 1 to 2 minutes). Tranfer to plates. Grill burgers until done basting each side frequently with glaze (about 5 minutes on each side for medium). Place cheese on each patty at the end and allow to melt. On each bun, place lettuce slide, some ranch sauce, burger with cheese, bacon and a little bit more sauce. If you wish have some tomatoes and grilled onions as additional toppings.
