Embrace Fall with Headcount Coffee's Pumpkin Spice Recipe: Cozy, Flavorful, and Perfectly Seasonal

As fall arrives and the air turns crisp, there's nothing better than wrapping your hands around a warm, spiced cup of pumpkin coffee. At Headcount Coffee, we’re all about celebrating the cozy, comforting flavors of the season. So, we’re thrilled to share our easy and delicious Pumpkin Spice Coffee recipe—perfect for enjoying the vibrant autumn landscape or preparing for seasonal festivities.

To make this recipe unforgettable, we’ve paired it with one of our favorite Headcount Coffee roasts, La Llorona, to elevate the flavor to new heights. Here’s how to make your very own Pumpkin Spice Coffee at home, featuring Headcount Coffee’s finest.

Why Choose La Llorona?

Our La Llorona roast provides the ideal base for this recipe with its balanced notes of caramel and nutty flavors. This roast beautifully complements the rich, spiced pumpkin flavor, offering a smooth yet bold foundation for your fall coffee indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup freshly brewed La Llorona
  • 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree (ensure it’s 100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • A dash of cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Brew Your Coffee: Brew a fresh, strong cup of La Llorona to balance the creaminess of the pumpkin mix.

  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Mix: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and warmed through (about 2-3 minutes).

  3. Add the Milk: Slowly mix in the milk, heating until warm but not boiling. A milk frother works great here for a luxurious, foamy texture.

  4. Combine with Coffee: Pour your brewed La Llorona into a mug, then add the pumpkin spice milk mixture. Stir to blend all the flavors.

  5. Add Toppings: For an extra cozy treat, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

  6. Enjoy: Cozy up and savor the warm, comforting flavors of fall!
