BBQ Coffee Dry Rub

BBQ Coffee Dry Rub

This sweet and spicy BBQ coffee dry rub is wonderful on steaks, pork, brisket and ribs. I found the recipe a long time ago on Intentional Hospitality and it’s a keeper. I love that this dry rub it’s super easy to throw together, uses pantry spices & ingredients and is SO much less expensive than store bought versions. You can make big batches of this BBQ coffee dry rub and store it in airtight containers for a few months and it also makes wonderful hostess gifts.

  1. This is truly a unique blend of ingredients for a rub and one that I would dismiss had we not had a coffee rubbed beef tenderloin roast several years ago and really enjoyed.

    1. I just saw this recipe. I roast coffee fresh times a week I am going to have to this rub with different origins of coffees. Yum!!!

    1. Virginia,

      I’ve never tried it on turkey so I’m not sure how it would turn out but I assume it’d be tasty. Please let me know if you give it a try.

  2. Pam thanks for the recipe. I will be making this with different types of fresh roasted coffee origins. Just curious what kind of coffee do you use.

    1. Carlos,

      To be honest, I switch out my coffee beans with new types all of the time so I’m not sure which one this was. We only use medium roast and never have sweet flavors. I hope this helps.
