What Your Coffee Says About You
New for Fall: Coffee by Personality
Hello, fall. It’s good to greet you again. Crisp mornings, sweater weather, the return of hot bevs (but no judgement if you’re a year-round iced devotee—we see you). So, as we unpack our scarves and flannels, we’re left wondering: Do we stick with our usual coffee of choice, or is it time to shake things up?
A Cup for Every Fall Coffee Vibe
There’s undeniable comfort in an old-faithful drink, but in the spirit of changing seasons and changing leaves, the allure of something new can be irresistible. And really, there’s time enough in the season to sample them all, new and old alike—so why not pick your coffee based on the day’s mood, outfit, outing…? We think there’s a coffee for every vibe.
PUMPKIN LATTE
You love festivity in a cup; it’s fun and warming, with a velvety texture and that familiar flavor. If quintessential autumn outings like leaf peeping, pumpkin patching, and road trips to cabin getaways are your jam, then our Pumpkin Latte is for you. With the indulgent richness of pumpkin pie spice, there’s a reason this seasonal treat is here to stay. You can also brew it at home and take it to go with our Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee—the same comforting notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Consider it your lightly roasted, single origin Brazil personal stash (it’s especially beautiful with an added splash of milk or cream).
But maybe you want to try something else that screams fall—something that still pairs well with an Instagrammable outing, and is something other than pumpkin. May we suggest a different drink with the same festive feeling, but a little more adventurous? Maybe you take the chocolate and spices of our Fiery Mocha for a spin. Or give the aromatic maple pancake syrup and cinnamon sugar of our Spiced Maple Cold Brew a shot.
COLD BREW
Adventurous. Bold. And one with the cold. The cold brew drinker always seems ready to try something new. An experience in itself, cold brew makes every day feel like a special occasion; it turns good mornings into great ones and adds pizzazz to even the most mundane tasks. If you’re a cold brew devotee, then you and your coffee make great traveling companions: easy going and always palatable.
You choose Baridi Cold Brew because you love the way it’s bold but smooth, and still refreshing; it’s lower in acidity than coffee that’s been brewed hot and then iced. You could call it very mindful. Demure. And you can detect all those delicious tasting notes that coffee beans carry. Or you can even make your own cold brew, using your favorite beans. It only takes a few simple steps, some brew time (that is worth the wait), and you’re ready to serve.
DRIP COFFEE, BLACK
It may seem like a minimalist option, but drip coffee lovers know it’s so much more. Kind of like a favorite knit scarf—a simple staple, but oh so intricate when you get a little closer, with the world’s best beans providing the luxury of Italian cashmere. The aromas and complex tasting notes have incredible depth, and the amount of variety means it’s never boring. A nostalgic and no-frills choice, perfect for sipping whether it’s a quiet, misty morning or an everyday afternoon that could use a delicious pick-me-up.
Peet’s has coffee beans that perfectly suit the season (not to pull you away from familiar favorites like Major Dickason’s Blend®). For fall, one of our top picks for coffee lovers is our Vine & Walnut Autumn Blend—abundant in body with notes ripe fruit and warm spice. And if you love to change up your beans with the seasons, our Seasonal Essentials Series is definitely for you.
CAPPUCCINO
Calling all go-getters. The back-to-school drop-off, the commute to work, the bustle to meet friends at the museum—full schedules are better with a travelling cappuccino in hand. It’s sophisticated and balanced; a mix of microfoam and business. One way or another, you’re getting things done and enjoying the journey.
What’s great about a cappuccino is that you can dress it up in countless ways. Maybe you add a whisper of cinnamon or nutmeg to make it just a tad more autumnal. Or a dusting of cocoa powder for indulgence. Or you can simply change up the espresso for a different experience every time. Not sure which espresso to try next? We can help.
DECAF LATTE
Ah, decaf. Some might say a safe choice, but we think you’re actually the realest of coffee lovers. The ones who drink coffee, not because of that sweet caffeine boost, but because you adore it. (Especially when it’s late and staying up all hours is not an option.) If you drink decaf, you’re the kind who wants it all: all the different coffee beverages, at all times of day (or night). A real treat.
You can switch things up with syrups and toppings. You can have a cup of decaf drip coffee and a splash of milk with breakfast, an oat milk latte with lunch, and a creamy cappuccino with dessert. The thing that matters most is no matter how or when you choose to drink your decaf coffee, you have choices available to you (shoutout to our decaf coffee options). So… what can we get you?
In the end, our coffee choices do say a lot about our personalities. This fall, why not take a cue from the changing leaves and try something new? Maybe a different classic beverage than your usual or a seasonal treat. There’s a whole world of coffee out there to explore. Let us be your guide.
