Pumpkin spice season is here, and there's nothing quite like a warm cup of pumpkin-flavored coffee to cozy up with and your dog. While Big Mutts Coffee Company doesn't offer pre-made pumpkin spice blends, we've got a solution to satisfy your cravings: brew your own!
Choosing the Right Roast
The key to a delicious homemade pumpkin spice coffee is starting with a great base. Here's a guide to choosing the right roast:
- Our German Shepherd Blend - Light Roast: Offers a bright, acidic flavor profile that pairs well with the sweetness of pumpkin spice.
- Bark Roast Blend - Medium Roast: Balanced flavor with a hint of sweetness, making it a versatile choice.
- Watchdog Blend -Dark Roast: Bold, smoky flavor that can stand up to stronger spices.
The Pumpkin Spice Recipe
Once you've selected your favorite roast, it's time to create your pumpkin spice blend. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
- Grind your coffee: Use a burr grinder to ensure a consistent grind or select from our ground coffee options on our site.
- Mix spices: Combine ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Create your blend: Add the spices to your ground coffee and stir to combine.
- Brew your coffee: Use your preferred brewing method.
- Add flavorings: Stir in a splash of vanilla syrup or a dollop of pumpkin puree for extra sweetness and flavor.
Tips for the Perfect Cup
- Experiment with ratios: Adjust the amount of spices to your taste preference.
- Consider milk and sugar: Add your favorite milk and sweetener to create a customized drink. We like to create our own cold foam to blend the spices into rather than directly into the coffee. Try that option too.
- Get creative with toppings: Garnish your coffee with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
