Classic Fall Desserts and Coffee Pairings

Nutty Brownies and Dark Roast Coffee or Americano

For something truly indulgent, pecan or almond brownies offer a rich, nutty, and chocolatey experience. These pair exceptionally well with a full-bodied coffee that has deep, earthy notes. An extra dark roast from Bruvi, like Spellbinder French Roast brewed coffee or Espresso Forte brewed as an Americano can cut through the sweetness and richness of the brownies, balancing the overall flavor profile.

Pumpkin Pie and Espresso

Pumpkin pie is synonymous with fall. Its creamy texture and spice-filled flavor make it a staple during the season. Pair this beloved dessert with a rich espresso to enhance the pie’s cinnamon and ginger notes, creating a harmonious blend of spice and sweetness. We suggest Mulholland Roasters Causu espresso  with its chocolate and spice flavor notes or LAMILL Bliss espresso, with notes of caramelized sugar and subtle fruit.  If you’re topping that pie with whipped cream, try a spoon of that on your espresso for an even greater treat.

Apple Tart and Dancing Spoon Medium Roast Brewed Coffee

The tartness of apples combined with the sweetness of a flaky pastry crust calls for a coffee that complements without overpowering. Go for a medium roast with subtle acidity to highlight the apple's natural flavors. Wonderland Coffee Dancing Spoon coffee pods  offer a smooth, balanced cup that pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts.

Spiced Carrot Cake and a Café Au Lait

Carrot cake, with its dense texture and warming spices, is ideal for cooler weather. Complement it with a smooth café au lait made with a coffee that has hints of caramel like Joyride Original Cold Brew, brewed as a hot coffee, to enhance the cake’s spice without overwhelming its delicate flavors. Another great choice is Klatch Crazy Goat Blend, a medium roasted blend with notes of toffee, spice and dark chocolate. To make a cozy café au lait, simply add heated milk to your coffee. For an extra fall twist, top with pumpkin spice or cocoa powder.

Apple Cider Doughnuts and Black Coffee

What’s more fall than apple cider doughnuts? Whether you’re enjoying them as quick breakfast or an afternoon snack, pair them with a cup of smooth, full bodied black coffee to stand up to the sweetness. We like Wonderland De La Casa coffee, it’s a bold yet smooth medium dark roast that’s easy to drink. (Not a fan of black coffee? Go ahead and add some milk, we won’t tell and it will still be a delicious pairing!)

Pumpkin Bread and Americano

Pumpkin bread, with its moist texture and rich blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, is a quintessential fall favorite that pairs beautifully with a double shot of Euphoria Espresso pods. Known for its deep, resonant flavors and a hint of sweetness, these espresso pods match the spicy warmth of pumpkin bread by balancing the spices, creating a comforting, indulgent experience

Persimmon Cookies and Tenango Coffee

The unique flavor of persimmon cookies makes them a delightful treat, especially when paired with a cup of Mulholland Roasters Tenango Coffee pods. This coffee blend with its vibrant notes of chocolate and a hint of citrus, complements the sweet, slightly spiced taste of persimmon cookies perfectly.

How to Create the Perfect Dessert and Coffee Pairing

Pairing coffee with dessert is an art that enhances both the beverage and the treat. When pairing, consider the dominant flavors of your dessert and choose a coffee that complements or contrasts these elements.

If your dessert is very sweet, go with a coffee with a touch of bitterness or acidity to create balance. On the contrary, a very rich dessert can be paired with a milder, smoother coffee to keep the palate from becoming overwhelmed.

Hosting a Fall Dessert and Coffee Tasting Party

A great way to welcome the change of seasons is to host a fall-themed coffee and dessert party using your Bruvi coffee brewer. Offer an array of fall desserts and brew different Bruvi coffees for each. Guide your guests through tasting each combination. It’s a great way to enjoy the season's favorites and make memorable moments with friends and family.

However you choose to enjoy all the delicious flavors of fall, we encourage you to include Bruvi in your plans.
