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.
Be sure and download your free printable BBQ Coffee Dry Rub tags. After you download the template, print on white cardstock paper. Poke a small hole, thread some twine, and tie to your jars. You have a perfect gift to give year-round.

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.
So glad y’all enjoy this recipe. It’s one of those recipes that just sort of evolved and now has become a family favorite for us too.
love this recipe, reblogging it on my blog.. thanks for sharing it
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.
This is AWESOME!!! THE BEST dry rub I have ever used!
Could you please share the template for the tag? Thank you
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.
