Looks good from over here.
I've never tried a coffee rub.
Just one more item on the long list of things to try.

I agree, and would add that coffee is basically bitter in taste. Think beer as an ingredient to a marinade. Bitter balances other tastes, such as sweet, and therefore enhances the aromas that we associate with food. Bitter is fine, but too much can get in the way. Chef Todd English has a steak rub (BBQ USA, Raichlen, pg 703-704) that has coffee as a primary ingredient.
