Pulled Pork With a Coffee Rub -- Crockpot image

The crockpot makes easy work of pulled pork. This one features a coffee rub. Coffee, you say? The coffee adds a boost to the meaty flavor. After shredding the pork, it can be used in multiple ways. Serve in pork tacos, press a Cuban sandwich, add your favorite BBQ sauce, or even roll taquitoes. Note: Country pork ribs are thick meaty cuts with a bone, but are not spareribs. A pork butt would be a good substitute, but I find the country ribs make a smaller batch. ***I added no salt to the rub as the sauces contain enough for our family, but do add it if your family would miss it.

I'm allergic to coffee, so I substituted the coffee rub with a rub made with chili powder, cumin, and paprika.

I would have liked the pulled pork to be a little more spicy, so I added some cayenne pepper to the rub.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I loved the flavor that the coffee rub added to the pork.

The coffee rub gave the pork a nice crust, and the meat was fall-apart tender.

I used a different brand of coffee than the one specified in the recipe, but it still turned out great.

I served the pulled pork with coleslaw and cornbread, and it was a hit with my family.

I was skeptical about using coffee in a pork rub, but it really added a unique and delicious flavor to the meat.

I prefer a smoky flavor, so I added a little bit of liquid smoke to the rub.
