This is a great recipe to prepare in large batches.  Make some cute name tags, tie some twine around a container and you will have a unique and flavorful gift for someone.

How do you make BBQ rubs from scratch?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make your own bbq coffee dry rub recipe. Then all you have to do is mix all the spices, herbs and a little sugar then seal in an airtight jar.

  • finely ground coffee
  • cup brown sugar
  • chili powder
  • paprika
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • cocoa powder
  • cayenne

How long do dry rubs last?

Be sure and start with fresh spices for the best quality rub, most lose their flavor after they have been open more than six months. It is best to store the rub in a dry, dark cabinet in a tightly sealed jar; it should last for up to 6 months.

How long do you leave a rub on meat?

To get the best results, a grill seasoning needs time to infuse its flavors in your meat. Therefore, it’s best to allow dry rubs to rest on the food in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Then allow the meat to come to room temperature just before you grill.

    This is our favorite dry rub. Our friends ask me for a bottle of it every week. It’s that good. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I have to triple the recipe when I make it we go through it so fast. O
    The rub is fantastic on ribs and brisket.

      I want to make jars with this dry rub to give as Christmas gifts. How much of each ingredient do you put in the jar?

        I triple the recipe and mix it in one large bowl. Then using a funnel I fill each jar. Sometimes my jars are different sizes so this makes it easier. I also print the recipe and attach with the gift so they can make it themselves when they run out.

      These were some tags I used a punch hole type cutter years ago. I just made a printable sheet of tags that are very similar. I will send them to you via email and post on the blog page.

    Would like to try this recipe but am not sure what you mean by ground coffee. Is it the one for instant coffee or brewed coffee? Thanks for sharing this recipe.

      I use my coffee bean grinder and pulse it until the coffee beans are more of a fine powder. You could also use already ground coffee but I would get the express blend because it is a finer grind.
