In this post learn how to make delicious Fall spiced coffee using your everyday coffee and a few spices from your cabinet!
Gingerbread Spice is a near twin to pumpkin spice, most people won’t be able to tell the difference. I like to add a little milk to mine and bring up the fall flavor by adding just a teaspoon of molasses or maple syrup but you can opt for sugar instead, or just make it however you like it and take time to sip and savor!
For our perfect coffee, Ricky and I love Red Diamond Classic Blend. It is our absolute favorite: smooth, never acidic, with a full bodied taste that is reliable every time. We get the big can at Walmart for about $10, which is a very good deal, especially considering we’d pay twice that for this quality and flavor!
To make this delicious coffee, all you have to do is add grounds to your standard coffee maker as you normally do and then sprinkle the spices over the top of the grounds before brewing your coffee.
The exact recipe is at the bottom of this post in a printable recipe card format.
After you’ve added your spices to the grounds, brew your coffee as usual.
Now for all of you who like your coffee black, this is as far as you need to go.
As for me and my coffee, we will add a little half and half and a teaspoon of molasses or maple syrup. Top with whipped cream if you like and make it fancy by adding a dusting of gingerbread cookie crumbs!
You really won’t believe how easy this is to make and how much money it will save you in the short and long term!
Helpful hint: If you have teenage children or grandchildren, this is sure to wow them!
But it wows the adult crowd as well!

Tomorrow is our first cool morning! I’m making the recipe now, Thanks for the recipe and the coffee recommendation. We will try it.
Oh Christy – you’re such a smarty pants! Love this great idea and will be trying it soon. MMMM! Thanks so much.
What a great idea–thank you Christy! Wondering now if subbing an equivalent amount of pumpkin pie spice would work for the mixed spices…. also, a whole Tablespoon of cinnamon for 6 scoops of coffee sounds like a lot! Gonna check our local WalMart for your coffee.
Pumpkin pie spice would be a wonderful substitute! And I’ve always said that folks were scared of cinnamon and needed to use it more freely, lol. Having said that, please do drop back if you think it will be better for your tastes! I want you to enjoy this first and foremost.
I’ll be sharing this on Facebook for my coffee-drinking friends and family! If I liked coffee, I know I would like this!!
🙂 Thank you for sharing Susan!!
I love coffee like that on a cool morning, sitting on the porch! Not today, though, Hurricane Michael is showing off his remnants here : (
Thanks Christy, can’t wait to try it!
Love the idea of this for fall!! Definitely going to try. Thank you for your coffee recommendation. I knew my brand was overpriced, but I never thought coffee could be THAT inexpensive! To Walmart I go! 🙂
Thank YOU Katie! We’ve been drinking it for about two years now and still love every drop. That $10 is for a HUGE can, too! I’m so glad you like this recipe and double glad you’re here!
