JAVA RUBS
“THE ORIGINAL COFFEE RUBS
FROM KEUKA LAKE COFFEE ROASTERS”
Java Rubs
“Wake Up Your Steak!”

At JAVA-GOURMET, we are ecstatic about the continued success of our original JAVA RUBS.  We are not only passionate about our coffee, but our cooking as well. We have known for quite sometime that coffee can be a great addition to many recipes.  By adding coffee as a flavor enhancer, you can perk up many dishes.  In particular, coffee is known to intensify the flavor of meats and impart smoky and nutty characteristics as well.  In fact, many renowned chefs use coffee as one of their “cooking secrets”.  We want to share the secret with our customers and strongly believe that our JAVA RUBS will be one of your favorite “cooking secrets” once you have tried them.

After much testing and tasting by ourselves, friends, and relatives, we have formulated ten special and distinct JAVA RUB recipes and all are incredible. Our “Original” rubs are specifically formulated for use with: Beef, Lamb, Wild Game & More, Fish, Seafood, Veggies & More, Pork, Poultry & More, and Fruit, Desserts & More.  Our “International” rubs are based on cooking styles from around the world and include:  Mocha Java Mole, Shanghai Six Spice, Sicilian Citrus, and Jamaican Java Jerk. We also have released two new JAVA RUBS, Mojito and Salt Free/ Decaf.

All of our JAVA RUBS have 100% Arabica coffee as their primary ingredient. They may also contain kosher or sea salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, pepper, paprika, cilantro, chives, cinnamon, brown sugar, and the perfect compliment of many other natural herbs and spices.  We believe these JAVA RUBS are the first available, ready-made, for use at home. We have received many testimonials from our customers that are unanimous in their opinion that JAVA RUBS deserve two thumbs up!

Our JAVA RUBS were developed to be used as you would use a dry meat rub.  Basically, the rub should be liberally applied to your meat selection about one hour prior to cooking.  We suggest grilling, broiling, or searing in a cast iron pan for best results.

We have also discovered that JAVA RUBS are much more than meat rubs and we have used them in a variety of cooking applications. Let your creativity be your guide!

Our JAVA RUBS are packaged in unique tins with clear tops and heat sealed to insure freshness. You can see the rub inside which is super for knowing when it’s time to purchase more. You won’t want to run out!

NOTHING BEATS A GOOD RUB...

JAVA RUB JOURNEYS COLLECTION

The Java Journeys Collection of coffee-based dry rubs highlights some of the most well known and highly regarded culinary regions in the world. Each of the new JAVA RUBS was carefully created to embody the authentic flavors of each region.  Most importantly, the coffee in each JAVA RUB provides natural flavor enhancement and adds depth to the flavor profile. Additionally, the coffee helps to caramelize the surface of foods while cooking which seals in more juices and flavor.

SALT FREE / DECAF

Our SALT FREE / DECAF JAVA RUB is a unique combination of natural herbs, spices, lemon and orange zest. We were inspired to develop this JAVA RUB when a friend of ours was put on a special salt free diet. We decided making this rub caffeine and sugar free would make it an excellent choice for people on all sorts of special diets. Delicious enough for anyone to use!

Use as a dry rub or seasoning with all meats, fish, veggies, soup, and more!

Good when added to olive oil as a bread dipper too.

Each of our JAVA RUBS was carefully developed with an eye for authenticity that has a fresh flavor twist with the incorporation of coffee into the blends. Coffee in our JAVA RUBS gives depth and supporting notes to the other flavors in the blend, as well as caramelizing for a beautiful crust on meats, which helps seal in juices and flavor. The uses of the JAVA RUBS are limited only by your own imagination and creativity.

We guarantee our products to be all natural. They are MSG and Gluten Free. We never use preservatives, artificial flavorings, thickening agents, or anti-caking agents either. You will taste the difference in everything we produce!
