How to make pumpkin spice coffee: 4 ways!

There are lots of ways to make pumpkin spice coffee, depending on exactly what you’re looking for. The easiest way is to drizzle a little syrup into your drip coffee. But you can also put pumpkin spices into the grounds, or make a tasty latte! Here are the four basic ways we like to make pumpkin spice coffee:

Pumpkin Spice Coffee: hot drip coffee plus pumpkin spice syrup
Iced Coffee: homemade spice mix, drip coffee, milk and ice
Pumpkin Spice Latte: this hot Pumpkin Spice Latte uses espresso, pumpkin spices, pumpkin puree and milk
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte: this cold Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte uses the same ingredients served over ice

Making pumpkin spice syrup

For the basic Pumpkin Spice Coffee, you’ll need a homemade pumpkin spice syrup. This is a great method because you end up with a jar of syrup that works for lots of drinks! Here’s what you’ll need for the syrup:

½ cup brown sugar
½ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice

Simmer those ingredients for about 2 minutes until they dissolve, then strain them through a fine mesh strainer. Refrigerate this until using: it makes a big batch you can use for about 12 drinks!

Drip coffee making methods

If you’re making pumpkin spice coffee or iced coffee, you’ll need a great hot cup of joe. Of course, you can use any type of coffee making method you like: even a electric coffee maker! But here are a few methods we think make a better pot of coffee:

Chemex: This is our top method for delicious Pour Over Coffee: the flavor is top notch
French Press: French Press Coffee is also top quality and makes a great cup
Moka Pot: Moka Pot Coffee is somewhere in between drip coffee and espresso; it’s very strong but works well with pumpkin spices

Variation: pumpkin spice latte (or iced!)

Do you love a good pumpkin spice latte? These drinks are slightly different than the first two options: they have not only pumpkin spices but real pumpkin puree. We’ve modeled them off of the Starbucks drinks, but make them like a real latte: just like a classic Cafe Latte. For these options, go to the following recipes:
