October 15th, 2024

October brings a chill to the air. The leaves start to fall, and we’re all looking for warmth. But here's the thing—coffee isn't just about warmth. It's about connection, ritual, and the MAGIC that happens when the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

At The Brew Group, we’re not just in the business of coffee; we’re in the business of experiences. Coffee is our medium, but the experience? That’s all yours. And this October, we’re taking those experiences and wrapping them in a cloak of mystery, fun, and flavor. 
​
Let’s talk Halloween! Sure, you can have your candy and costumes; but how about something more? Something unexpected. Something that transforms your usual brew into a seasonal ritual. A magical elixir that makes you stop and savor! 

Yes, we’re talking about Halloween-inspired coffee.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

​You knew this was coming. And while it may be basic to some, there’s a reason we keep coming back to it every fall. Comfort. Familiarity. Nostalgia in a cup. But here’s the twist—when you brew this at home with a Jura machine, it’s yours. Not some mass-produced cup, but your creation, your ritual.
 
Pumpkin puree, spices, espresso. Stirred, sipped, savored. It's not just a drink—it's a moment.

How to Make It with Your Jura Machine:

• Brew a shot of espresso.

 

• Steam milk (oat milk works wonderfully for this).

 

• Add 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, a dash of vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spices.

​

• Pour the espresso into the pumpkin mixture, add the steamed milk, and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

​
Snack Pairing: Enjoy it with a slice of pumpkin bread or spiced cookies to elevate the fall experience.

 Black Magic Mocha

This one’s for the dark souls among us. Coffee isn't just about waking up—it’s about indulging. And a Black Magic Mocha?

​It’s indulgence with an edge. Dark chocolate, espresso, maybe a little hint of orange or cinnamon for that extra bite. The perfect potion for those crisp October nights when you want to indulge, but with purpose.

No fancy café needed—just you, your Jura machine, and a moment to let the richness sink in.

.How to Make It with Your Jura Machine:
​

• Brew a double shot of espresso.

• Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of dark chocolate syrup or melted dark chocolate.

• Steam milk and add it to the chocolate-espresso mix.

• For a Halloween twist, top with black whipped cream (add black food coloring to whipped cream) or sprinkle activated charcoal for a spooky effect.

Snack Pairing: This rich mocha pairs perfectly with dark chocolate brownies or Halloween-themed cupcakes.

Witch’s Brew Spiced Cold Brew
​
Who said cold brew is only for summer? Here’s the thing: when you spice it up with a dash of cinnamon and a hint of cayenne, it transforms. It becomes something else entirely. Cool, refreshing, with a touch of warmth that sneaks up on you.

It’s unexpected. Just like fall itself.

Make it with your Jura machine, toss in some ice, and watch as it becomes more than just a cold coffee—it’s a spellbinding experience.

How to Make It:
​

• Brew a batch of cold brew using your Jura machine's cold brew setting or regular brew setting and chill overnight.

 

• Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper to your cold brew.

 

• Serve over ice and garnish with a cinnamon stick or an orange peel for a witchy touch.

Snack Pairing: Pair this spiced cold brew with ginger cookies or cinnamon sugar doughnuts.

Ghostly White Chocolate Cappuccino

There’s nothing complicated here. Just smooth, creamy, ghostly white foam that feels like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket. But don’t let its simplicity fool you—it’s special. It’s something to look forward to, something that turns an ordinary day into a small celebration.
 
And when you top it with a little marshmallow ghost face? Pure fun. Because coffee should bring joy, too.

How to Make It with Your Jura Machine:
​

• Brew a shot of espresso.

• Steam milk and add melted white chocolate (1-2 tablespoons).

• Pour the espresso into the white chocolate mix, then top with foamed milk.

• For an extra Halloween touch, use marshmallow cream or draw ghost faces on the foam with melted chocolate or caramel.

Snack Pairing: Enjoy this creamy drink with shortbread cookies or a Halloween-themed candy bar.

Vampire Red Velvet Latte
​
Now we’re getting to the good stuff. Red velvet. Dramatic. Bold. A little theatrical, just like Halloween should be.

​This isn’t just about the taste (though let’s be honest, it’s amazing)—it’s about the experience. The bright red color, the rich, velvety texture.

​It’s not a drink. It’s a show. And you’re the star.

How to Make It:
​

• Brew a shot of espresso using your Jura machine.

• Add red velvet syrup (or make your own with a mix of cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring).

• Steam milk and add it to the espresso mixture.

• Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of red velvet syrup or beetroot powder for that eerie red effect.

Snack Pairing: Pair with red velvet cupcakes or red sugar cookies for a complete vampire-approved treat.

Candy Corn Latte

Candy corn is divisive. But a Candy Corn Latte? Well, that’s something we can all agree on. Layered, sweet, and fun—just like Halloween itself. Vanilla, caramel, steamed milk. This isn’t just a coffee; it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with a grown-up twist.
 
You don’t drink it. You experience it. And when that experience happens in your own kitchen? That’s where the magic lies.

How to Make It:
​

• Brew a shot of espresso.

• Add a tablespoon of vanilla syrup and a tablespoon of caramel sauce.

• Steam milk and gently pour it over the espresso to create a layered effect.

• Top with whipped cream and sprinkle some orange and yellow-colored sugar for that candy corn vibe.

Snack Pairing: Perfectly enjoyed with caramel popcorn or candy corn-shaped sugar cookies.

It’s Not About the Coffee. It’s About What Coffee Represents.
 
Halloween coffee drinks aren't just about flavor—they're about making the mundane magical. Coffee is a tool, a ritual, a moment of pause in an otherwise chaotic world. And these drinks? They’re the perfect reminder that we can always find something to celebrate. Even in a simple cup of coffee.
 
With The Brew Group’s Jura machines, the power to create these experiences is in your hands. No drive-thru. No barista. Just you and the possibilities.
 
Because at the end of the day, it's not about having the "perfect" coffee. It's about creating your own magic. Your brew. Your experience. This Halloween, let your coffee be a little spooky, a little indulgent, and a whole lot of fun.
 
And as always—brew on.
