BBQ-Inspired Butter

Inspired by Montpellier butter (a softened butter dating back to the 19th century named for the city in southern France) this variation gives it a BBQ twist by including spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder, with the addition of ground coffee instead of fresh herbs. Use it to bring robust, layered flavor to grilled or broiled meat and seafood, steamed veggies, boiled potatoes, and more.
