Spice and coffee usage should be done with care if you don’t like overpowered flavors. Handle their amounts to your taste if your first attempt doesn’t come as you would have expected.
One other great option is to have it grilled all the way, but there is a risk of burning the rub too much before you achieve the desired doneness.
Enjoy!
