Java Rub

Coffee may seem like an odd ingredient for a rub, but competition ’que heads use it and win big with it. The bittersweet flavor of the coffee rub goes great on beef (especially brisket) and pork. Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat. For extra flavor start with the same quantity of whole peppercorns and cumin and coriander seeds and toast them and grind them yourself.
