Fall coffee drink ideas
All of these make-at-home Fall coffee recipes are so cozy and delicious – but the best part is that they are all made with pretty darn clean ingredients! You’ll have guilt-free Autumn coffee indulgence all season. Cozy up next to the fireplace with one of my make-at-home fall coffee recipes and one of my homemade pumpkin sourdough cinnamon rolls!
maple pecan latte recipe
This recipe uses the natural sweetener of pure maple syrup and the buttery, nutty flavor of pecan extract. The flavoring is mixed in with the cream, milk, or milk alternative of your choice. Made with espresso from a stovetop espresso maker (percolator), espresso machine, or Nespresso.
Caramel apple iced coffee recipe
This one is OH SO TASTY. This caramel apple sauce is so decadent, but when mixed with the iced coffee it’s so refreshing! This recipe is made with my healthy homemade caramel apple sauce, collagen creamer, and iced french press coffee. You could also use cold brew concentrate for this one.
cozy fall salted mocha recipe
This is a classic with a salty twist! I use rich cocoa powder, sweet coconut sugar, and a little sea salt for the flavoring. Then, I use my Nespresso for the shots, frothy raw milk, and sprinkle some Maldron’s flake salt on top.
cardamom french press Coffee recipe
This is the easiest one, but maybe my favorite! All you do for this is make a french press coffee but before adding the water, you’ll add your cardamom spice to the coffee grounds. You could also toss in pumpkin pie spice with or instead of the cardamom to make a simple pumpkin spice french press coffee!

Tips for making the perfect fall coffee drink at home
Perfect fall coffee drinks at home
- Grind your own beans
Freshly ground beans taste so much better than pre-ground coffee.
- Buy organic, fair-trade coffee
This is important. Coffee that isn’t organic, fair trade has been found to have other things (besides coffee, they’ve even found cockroaches) ground up with it.
- Wait for the bloom
When making a french press, you want to pour the water in the french press 30 seconds off the boil, pour a few inches of water in and wait for the coffee to bloom, then pour the rest in.
- Use filtered water
There’s something about all the added chlorine, fluoride, and other harmful additives in tap water that make your coffee taste off. Use filtered water for a pure-tasting cup of coffee. We use our Berkey.
