Ginger Coffee Rub

A drink from Indonesia turned into a rub. First tested on burgers at home.

The first time I put this blend on burgers, I didn’t tell Maggie I’d made something new. I just watched her take a bite.

Her face told me everything I needed to know.

Warm ginger leads the flavor. Coffee helps build a rich crust. Start with burgers. Then try it on your next steak.

Start with Burgers. Keep Going From There.

You don’t need a new recipe to try Ginger Coffee Rub. Put it on something you already know how to cook.

Burgers
The first meal I made with this blend, and still where I’d suggest you start. Season your patties before cooking and let the ginger and crust do their work.

Steaks
For the nights you want a different direction from your usual steak seasoning. Warm ginger, savory depth, and a browned surface with flavor in every bite.

Chicken thighs and pork chops
Two more ways we’ve used it at home. Season before cooking, just as you would with your regular rub.

Fried rice
One of my favorite uses beyond the grill. Use it as your all-in-one seasoning while tossing the rice, protein, and vegetables together.

I loved coffee. I loved ginger. Together sounded awful. 

In Indonesia, where my wife Maggie is from, there’s a drink called kopi jahe. Ginger coffee.

I saw it on menus for a couple of years before I finally tried it. One night at a café with Maggie and some friends, curiosity won.

I loved it.

That combination stayed with me after we returned to Alabama.

Years later, while I was developing the ENAK lineup, my brother posted a picture of a beef filet he’d cooked with a chili coffee rub. My mind went straight back to kopi jahe.

What would happen if I took that ginger-and-coffee combination and built a seasoning around it?

I started working on a blend with ginger as the anchor.

The night I first made it, I cooked burgers. I didn’t tell Maggie I’d changed anything. I sat and waited for her first bite.

Her face lit up.

A week or two later, I cooked a steak at work and shared some with my boss. Same reaction.

That was enough for me.

How to use it

For burgers: Form your patties, season both sides, and cook as usual.

For steaks, chicken thighs, or pork chops: Sprinkle over the surface before cooking.

For fried rice: Add while tossing everything together, taste, and adjust.

The blend already contains salt, so start without adding extra. You can always adjust after tasting.

A few questions before you try it

Will my burger taste like coffee?

Coffee doesn’t lead the flavor. Ginger does. The coffee helps build a rich crust as the meat cooks.

Do I need a grill?

No. You can use it on burgers cooked in a skillet, chicken thighs in an air fryer, or fried rice on the stove.

Is it only for beef?

Beef is where I started. I’ve also used it on chicken thighs, pork chops, salmon, and fried rice.

Should I add salt?

The blend already contains salt. Start with Ginger Coffee Rub alone and adjust to your taste.

What if I don’t like it?

You’re covered by our satisfaction guarantee: a full refund within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied. No stress. No hassles.

Your next burger night is a good place to start. 

I spent a couple of years passing over ginger coffee on a menu before I gave it a chance.

Now that combination is part of what we cook at home.

Try Ginger Coffee Rub on your next batch of burgers. See what happens at the first bite.
