Dark, smoky, and surprisingly useful.
This is coffee doing something productive after 10 a.m. Fresh-ground Sumatra coffee brings deep, roasty bitterness, layered with smoky chile warmth and just enough brown sugar to round the edges. It’s bold without being loud, and rich without tipping into sweet.
It’s built for grilling—steak, pork, ribs—but it doesn’t stop there. This rub adds depth anywhere you want a little darkness and complexity: vegetables, chili, sauces, even popcorn when you’re feeling curious. Coffee isn’t the gimmick here. It’s the backbone.
- Deep, roasty Sumatra coffee

FAQ
Does this taste like coffee?
Yes—but in a good way. Think deep, roasted bitterness that adds complexity, not breakfast-in-your-steak.
Is it spicy?
Mild to medium. Warm, smoky heat that builds gently.
Is this only for meat?
Not at all. Vegetables, chili, popcorn, and sauces all benefit.
