A shot of freshly brewed espresso mixed with dairy-free milk, pumpkin pie spices, and a dash of dairy-free whipped cream make a decent comfort drink for a cozy afternoon cuddled in a blanket.
It’s one of the first recipes I make every fall as soon as the pumpkin season has arrived. The right blend of pumpkin spice latte ingredients is what turns this coffee recipe into one of the most popular fall coffee of all time!
The good news is that it’s super easy to make this delicious pumpkin spice latte recipe at home.
GENIO S Touch
It gets even more comfortable if you are in possession of the new GENIO S Touch coffee maker from NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. Latest technology paired with finest coffee. What do you want more?
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a little nerd and fan of new tech gadgets. Therefore, I couldn’t be happier to have partnered with NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto to introduce you to their latest automatic coffee machine with touch functionality. Yipiiie!
This new premium model comes with a minimalistic design and is super small to fit even on the tiniest kitchen counter.
If you have been a NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto fan for quite some time, you might be surprised by all its new functions:
- Espresso Boost (goodbye grumpy mornings)
- Temperature Selection (from cold, warm to very hot)
- Extra Large Cup (to use with your coffee mug – hello coffee-on the go 😉)
- Automatic Technology (customize your coffee intensity with a tactile function)
With the new GENIO S Touch, you are only a touch away from freshly brewed coffee!
Guatemala Coffee
Guatemalan is known for its volcanic landscape with a thriving coffee culture. Volcano coffee, which is grown and handpicked at Guatemala’s volcanic highlands, is nurtured by its rich and fertile soils.
You can now enjoy this highly intense coffee as part of the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto absolute origins range. It comes within two varieties, both made with organic and responsibly grown Arabica coffee beans: Guatemala Espresso and Guatemala Latte Macchiato (made with organic milk – a first for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto).
The Guatemala coffee is an intense and full-bodied espresso with dark roasted notes, subtle dark berries, and white pepper notes with a dense crema. It has a good balance of acidity and bitterness with a hint of smoky lava black flintstones and a dark chocolate aftertaste.

How To Make Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
Read through this visual step-by-step guide with lots of extra tips! The exact quantities and everything else you need to know for the recipe can be found in the recipe card below.
Before you start: This recipe calls for pumpkin purée, which I highly recommend making from scratch following this homemade pumpkin puree recipe!
- Place the plant-based milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a small saucepan and bring it to the boil.
- Reduce to medium heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour a freshly brewed espresso into a large mug and add the warm pumpkin spice milk. Feel free to top it with whipped cream and cinnamon!
Recipe FAQ & Tips
Coffee: You can either use one shot of espresso or one brewed lungo/large coffee if you don’t have an espresso maker at home. I prefer mine the classic way with espresso! 😉
Sugar-Free Version? Skip the maple syrup!
Do you like vanilla? Add ½ tsp vanilla extract.
Love an iced pumpkin spice latte? Place all ingredients in a blender and serve it over ice (skip the cooking).
Aline’s Tip: Spread your pumpkin puree into an ice cube tray, freeze for a few hours, then transfer into freezer bags. → Makes about 1 tbsp portions, perfect for making a quick pumpkin spice latte without opening a whole can of pumpkin puree!
