MORE ABOUT COFFEE RUBS
GROUNDS FOR GREATNESS

Ground coffee is an exceptional component in rubs, adding a unique depth of flavor and enhancing the overall taste profile. Its natural bitterness balances the sugar components of rubs, while its earthy notes complement smoky and spicy flavors.

Additionallly, coffee's natural acids and enzymes help tenderize meat by breaking down proteins, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite. During cooking, coffee aids in forming a rich, flavorful crust on the meat’s surface through the Maillard reaction, enhancing both taste and visual appeal. Its aromatic qualities also add an enticing scent, enriching the overall sensory experience of your dishes.
