Absolutely not, there was never, ever any coffee in my mom's RE 
gravy.  My husband who IS a coffee drinker also says that Red Eye 
doesn't have coffee... not just sometimes, but never heard of it that 
way. The name Red eye comes because you use the marrow from the ham 
steak.  Not arguing, just reporting what I remember.
