Replicating Trader Joes’ BBQ Coffee Rub

Recipes
by Jennifer W.

I made the mistake of not stocking up on Trader Joe’s BBQ Rub and Seasoning with Coffee and Garlic. I have chicken drumsticks in the freezer and they just go so great with this rub. But Trader Joe’s doesn’t sell them right now as it is out of season and I really don’t want to pay 3x the price by ordering it off Amazon. I searched Google how to replicate the rub but does anyone know what coffee to use? Does it matter?

You can choose between decaf and caffeinated coffee based on your preference.

I do not think it matters. Because you can’t really taste the coffee once the meat is cooked. Its just used to enhance the other flavors

I think you need either espresso powder or super finely ground coffee so that you don’t get thick coffee bits.
