As promised here is my report on using his rub on spares yesterday. They rocked! First here is a shot when they first went on. BTW this was at the largest slab of flap meat I have ever encountered!
To keep the test clean I ate the flap meat with no sauce and it rocked!!! then I did go ahead and sauce my ribs with 50/50 Blues Original and Blue's Tennessee Red and they are mighty delicious! Thanks Mickey!

Question for you, I am not a coffee drinker--dont like the taste of coffee, but I have heard from some that the taste of these coffee rubs actually changes and it is a different flavor altogether. Is this your take or will I still get the coffee flavor coming through on this type of rub.Large BGE Middletown, MD

No I can't say I tasted the coffee so yes it must change. As for the coffee itself it is an extremely fine grind almost like table salt. If the smell of coffee turns you off then rubbing the meat may bother you as the smell in the raw state is clearly there, but not after the cook. HTH.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I dont mind the smell of it so much, and I have heard the taste post cooking is different so I was just looking to confirm before giving one of these rubs a shot. Thanks for the feedback.Large BGE Middletown, MD

I had a similar question regarding the ancho pepper in the rub. It is not an issue from my experience. None of the ingredients overpowers any of the others. There are enough different flavors going on that nothing in particular comes to the forefront of the mix. I would suggest on your first trial to make a small batch and give it a try on a chicken. No big investment if you do not like it.

the coffee rub is great on spatchcock chicken, definitely doesn't leave a coffee flavor.

BTW I substituted Mexene brand Chili Powder for the ancho pepper and was happy with it.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I hear - all the time on here - about Mickey's coffee rub. There are many posts referencing the recipe. But, can someone post the "official" recipe?
...much appreciated!

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Medaglia d’Oro instant espresso coffee
1/4 cup ancho chili powder *
2 T. garlic powder
2 T. ground black pepper
2 T. kosher salt
Mix all and keep in an air-tight container.
I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area (have used both light or dark version).
I make it starting with a half cup of Instant espresso ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.
* Ancho chili powder can be reduced to 3 T. if desired.
