Oaktown Spice Shop — Campfire Coffee BBQ Rub

$9.75

Organic coffee and dark muscovado sugar in a barbecue rub. Builds a deep, spiced crust over the fire.

Coffee and beef are old friends; the coffee's bitterness deepens the meat's savoriness and the muscovado caramelizes into a dark bark. Oaktown makes this rub with organic coffee from Nomadic Coffee in Oakland, chipotle for smoke, and a long list of warm spices behind it. Mild heat.

Who this is for

  • Tri-tip on the Santa Maria grill
  • Brisket, ribs and pork shoulder in the smoker
  • Chicken thighs on a weeknight
  • Camping cooks who want one rub for everything over the fire

Details
