I have a hunch not many people are going to try this - and perhaps its an acquired taste but I love them. It couldn't be easier to do so you could make just one egg to try it out if you want to know how it tastes. Just pop a shelled hardboiled egg in a mug of strong coffee and leave overnight. Do they taste of coffee? Yes - a subtle roasted savoury taste. Is it a pretty dish? I rather like their dark mysterious look but I think it could put some folk off!

That egg looks awesome. I won't be running away from that. Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeessssssss!
Want even a little more flavor? Try adding a teaspoon of Balsamic Vinegar to the coffee.
 
I was in Taipai in the 90s and came across tea infused eggs on a roadside stall. It was a bit late and I'd had a few so the egg didn't much taste of other than egg. As far as I was told they crack a hard boiled egg (all over) and then stew it in boiling tea with soy sauce etc. The tea seeps through the cracks to produce these.
