Coffee in a rub vs drinking a cup of coffee will be different for sure.I enjoy both but also grow coffee I am partial hahahahahahha
We are not coffee drinkers.
My wife for some reason just picked it up to try.
Sounds great! Might try this on my pork loin.My daughter's future father-in-law got me interested in adding coffee to rubs. He has a coffee rub he uses that is great on ribs.
I haven't tried that particular Trader Joe's commercial coffee rub, but I've made a coffee rub from a recipe I've found online. I've used it on a pork butt, a couple of chuckies, a brisket, and beef ribs. It's pretty good and actually seems to enhance the meat better the second day, which is often the case regardless of what rub you use.
Texas Coffee-Chipotle rub
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup of finely ground dark coffee
1/4 cup paprika (smoked is preferred but regular is fine)
2 Tbs salt
1 Tbs pasilla chili powder (the only change I made from the original recipe which used chipotle powder)
2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp of cinnamon
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp allspice
Method:
1. Combine all the rub ingredients together until well blended with no lumps.
Yield: About 8-9 oz.
Thanks for the recipe - I think I'm going to have to give this a try this weekend...don't know what I'm going to smoke, but I've been looking for a coffee rub to try.
