This one combines the best of the salt-pepper-garlic notes of Santa Maria-style barbecue with the depth of coffee and clove. Diners will be hard-pressed to place its complex flavor until you tell them the components. The rub is easy to double and keeps for a long time in a jar or a zipper-lock bag. It should stay on the meat for at least two hours, but overnight is best.","servings_text":"cup","total_time":"PT5M","ingredients":[{"text":"2 tablespoons finely ground coffee","item":"finely ground coffee","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt","item":"kosher salt","quantity":1.5,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"1 ½ tablespoons granulated garlic","item":"granulated garlic","quantity":1.5,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"1 heaping teaspoon black pepper","item":"heaping teaspoon black pepper","quantity":1},{"text":"1 tablespoon brown sugar","item":"brown sugar","quantity":1,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper","item":"cayenne pepper","quantity":0.25,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"¼ teaspoon ground cloves","item":"ground cloves","quantity":0.25,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"¼ teaspoon cinnamon","item":"cinnamon","quantity":0.25,"unit":"tsp"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container."}],"date_published":"2026-10-29T23:56:04.520114+00:00","date_modified":"2026-10-29T23:56:04.520114+00:00"}
