Pumpkin Spice Recipe
Some say that drinking a pumpkin spice latte make you basic. If being basic is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. If you love the pumpkin spice latte starbucks make, you’ll love these pumpkin spice recipes. With the taste of warm pumpkin and cinnamon notes on your tongue, these cozy coffees will get you in the fall spirit.
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine
Before I dive into the recipes, the coffee maker used to craft these fall drinks is the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine. Like the lattes you’ll find at a cafe, these drinks are comprised of milk, syrup, and espresso shots. If your coffee maker lacks the espresso component, you may want to look into one. Compared to some of the other coffee/espresso machines on the market, this one is fairly priced at $159. If you’re already spending five bucks a day on a coffee, you’ll end up saving money in the long run.

One key feature to note is how sleek the design of this machine is. If your kitchen has limited space, this would be the ideal option to fit on top of your countertops. I went with the white and black option (just love how the white pops). There are so many delicious coffee options to choose from when it comes to this machine. The aromas of these coffee and espresso pods range from fruity to bold and dark notes. I’ve listed my favorite ones in the recipe cards below.
