Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee is the easiest “holiday” recipe ever! Add just 2 simple ingredients to your coffee maker or french press. Pairs perfectly with my homemade pumpkin pie spiced coffee creamer or my homemade vanilla bean coffee creamer!
Fall is finally beginning to set in here in the south, and the cooler morning breezes have me in the mood for pumpkin everything…
Every year at this time, I find myself trying to slow down the harvest and holiday seasons so we can savor every part of it. I add special holiday touches to even the smallest things, and this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Blend is the perfect example!
Plus, this has got to be one of the easiest holiday “recipes” ever. In fact, it’s really more of a “method” than a recipe. You just add two simple pantry staples to your basic pot of coffee in a coffee maker (or a french press if you prefer) and, in minutes, you’ve transformed it into the perfect cup of coffee!
It will also make a great dessert coffee to go with a slice of Healthy Homemade Pumpkin Pie after Thanksgiving dinner – Right alongside the easy pumpkin donuts and delicious pumpkin cookies!
Pumpkin Spice Coffee
In addition to how crazy-easy this recipe is, it’s also:
- Healthier. Did you know that a single blend of commercially flavored coffee could have as many as 80 different chemicals added to it? Maybe you’ve noticed that the fewer processed and chemically laden foods we eat, the better we feel.
- Delicious! The subtle natural tastes of the spices make all the difference in comparison to store-bought flavored coffee grounds!
- Fun! It’s perfect for when company comes to visit for the holidays, or for weekends at home. Imagine…no more running to the coffee shop for a pumpkin pie-flavored coffee on a chilly fall morning!
Pumpkin Spice Ingredients
- Coffee grounds (for 12 cups)

Step 2. Fill the coffee maker with water, then pour maple syrup into the bottom of the empty carafe.
Step 3. Seat the carafe in the coffee maker and brew as you normally would.
That’s it!

What does pumpkin spice taste like in coffee?
This pumpkin-flavored coffee recipe tastes subtly sweet and naturally spiced. It has ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves that provide that warm, sweet, and earthy feel that we SO love during fall.
Can I put pumpkin spice in my coffee?
In the past, I’ve tried stirring a spoon of spice mix directly into my cup of coffee. After having a cup of floating spice mix that would not dissolve, I discovered the method above that works like a charm! No floating, gloppy spices…just smooth and sweet spicy essence in a hot cup of coffee – perfect for any occasion!
What Can I Serve with this Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Recipe?
- Just whip up a batch of my homemade pumpkin pie spiced coffee creamer to add to your coffee.
- My homemade vanilla bean coffee creamer would taste amazing in there as well!
- Enjoy with my easy pumpkin donuts or my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

This recipe is exactly what I’ve been looking for. However, I’m only serving myself and I only make 30 ounces of coffee at a time (in a 10 cup brewer). Do you have a suggestion on how much pumpkin spice to use?
John,
I think a quarter teaspoon or a little less would work. Hope this helps.
Only problem with this is the cinnamon will clog the coffee filter and cause the coffee to overflow out of the filter.
Did this happen to you, John? Maybe use less cinnamon and spread it out more.
Love the idea of adding pumpkin spice to coffee. I can imagine it tastes so comforting!
Yum! I love adding goodies to my coffee and a little pumpkin spice and maple syrup is just the perfect idea for cool days.
What about people who have keurig pod coffee makers
Hi Desiree,
I haven’t tested this recipe out in a Keurig, but you could certainly try it if you have refillable pods!
Oh my goodness! This recipe just made my life that much easier! Im gonna try this out right after I eat breakfast!
I hope you love it, Bethany!
