I know that using coffee as a rub for food sounds kind of weird, but trust me when I say that this is a recipe worth trying. My husband absolutely loved it! He wasn’t sure at first, but he said he would try it and give his honest opinion. When it comes to food, my husband cannot tell a lie! He took a few bites and said that the coffee rub flavor was absolutely delicious! This rub is a great twist to a classic meal. I have made pot roast a million times and this is coffee rub is now here to stay! Try it for yourself and you will see how wonderful it is!
