  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Grill your pork chops for about 5–7 minutes on each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF.

  • Once at the internal temperature, remove your pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest covered with aluminum foil for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pleasantly Surprised I drink coffee, but never used it in a rub. I was pleasantly surprised. I used all of the ingredients & followed the directions exactly. The cooking time was perfect. I loved the flavor of the chops. I didn’t taste the coffee at all, but it left a gritty texture. It wasn’t bad though. They were also very juicy.
