    I don't know myself. I'm only too sure if you put in 'Mickey's Coffee Rub' in the above search box, it'll pop up.

    From what I can find it appears to be by dry measure..

    Ingredients:
    1/4 cup salt 
    1/2 cup brown sugar 
    1/2 cup ancho-chili powder 
    1/2 cup expresso ground (very fine) Coffee. (Has red,yellow & green label)
    1/4 cup garlic powder 
    1/4 cup ground black pepper
    Alternate:
    Exchange Sugar in the Raw for the brown sugar.  I have found it gives a totally different flavor profile.

    Coffee Rub (turkey, chicken, beef & pork)
    Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee..
    Equal part: Brown Sugar..
    ½ part: Black Pepper..
    ½ part: Kosher Salt..
    ½ part: Garlic Powder..
    ¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder..
      Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. 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 Instant Expresso Ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    I mixed up a batch before Thanksgiving as I love this rub on turkey and use maple for smoke. This combination of flavors is really nice. I did it a little bit different this time - I left out the salt. That allowed me to dry brine the bird overnight and then put on the coffee rub an hour or so before cooking it. Worked very well and kept it from getting overly salty.

    It's good stuff.  Just finished a batch Wednesday night and set to mix up some new this weekend.  Enjoy!
