I am yet to try any commercial rubs as I (and many others) am very happy with the rubs I make myself, so why not make your own? It'll be far cheaper in the long run, and you can tweak each rub to suit your individual needs/taste.
With a few basic ingredients, you can easily create a variety of different rubs to suit everything from chicken, beef, pork or even fish.
With a little Googleing I'm sure you can find a few good rub recipes to make a start.
If you're still uncertain on making your own, hopefully someone will reply with a rub you can buy.
Best of luck,
SR.

Coffee fills out the earthy end of the profile in rubs but rubs need to be balanced, so if making a coffee or cocoa rub, don't forget the salt, sugar, and herbs; onion, garlic, and coriander goes great with coffee especially for beef. Just make sure to round your flavors and not be one note. Lemongrass also goes well with coffee. Etc.
Oh La La...feeling guilty already ~using pre-made rub.
Well to be perfectly honest, I just use the basic ingredients eg,peppers(red/white/black),sea salt,olive oil,some onion/garlic powder before I put a steak on the grill,...nothing like coffee, sounds good thou'...then I see some recipes calling for cocoa,& on & on..
I may just have to call Bobby Flay

Brown sugar, Smoked Paprika, Cumin, and ground Coriander seed are also great additions. Thyme and Rosemary, dry or fresh, are exceptionally good on chicken for example.
Sounds like you have most of the ingredients already, just experiment and don't forget to always write down your recipes so you can tweak or replicate later.
Have fun,

If the grills, accessories, customer service, and bagged fruit woods are any indication, I'm sure that Weber rub is good.
I am not arguing with people saying making one can be rewarding - it can be.
But there's a place for commercial one's too ... because every meal isn't special.

I like making my own due to coffee control, that Weber rub is not bad...I was gifted it
I really like the Weber wood, truth be told.
Only Fruita is better, that I know of.

Dry mustard works well too...

Yes
Mustard is often the base to a rub anyway... you could leave it out if you plan to rub it with wet mustard.
