“It's the closest I've ever come to recreating Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. So freaking good. I was worried it might be grainy, but it's not at all.”

1. Pumpkin Butter

   Trader Joe's Sure, Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter can be used to make your morning toast or bagel even better, but going to a TJ's Reddit thread, this fall favorite as well belongs in your coffee. One Redditor added some to their milk and coffee and had only good things to say. "It's the closest I've ever come to recreating Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. So freaking good. I was worried it might be grainy, but it's not at all." There's no actual butter in this pumpkin butter, but there is pumpkin puree, sugar, honey, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon; all of which comes together to create the perfect taste addition for your morning brew. Add a spoonful (or even so much you please) into your coffee and mix it well before adding any additional cream, sugar, or toppings. If you've never tried pumpkin butter in coffee, it's best to start small and taste as you go. You can always add more as needed.

2. Pumpkin Pie Spice

   Trader Joe's Maybe you've learned how to DIY your own pumpkin pie spice this season , but if you haven't (or don't want to), grab a container of Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spice on your next trip to sprinkle into your coffee. This blend is made with cinnamon, ginger, citrus, nutmeg, and cloves. There are a few ways you can integrate this spice blend into coffee. The first is to use it as a topping: Sprinkle some in your cup or over whipped cream for a quick kiss of warm flavors in each sip. Another way to add this to coffee is to mix it in with your coffee grounds. This won't work with pre-packaged coffee pods, but for loose grounds you'll simply add that said much spice you see fit and mix it together with the grounds before brewing. It might take a couple of tries before you find out how much pumpkin pie spice you prefer, but this is a good way to get your seasonal flavor fix without it be

   Correct_Mark_9436/Reddit You might not automatically think of maple when you think of a pumpkin spice latte, but the Trader Joe's Salted Maple Cold Foam Creamer is the touch of fall bliss that shouldn't be left out of your end-of-summer iced beverages. As one Redditor discovered, this cold foam creamer elevates home-brewed coffee to rival those from a professional barista. "The introduction of these cold foam creamers (by TJ's and other stores) has basically killed my desire for starbucks [sic] since my favorite drink there was salted cream cold brew and now I can very easily make it at home." The salted maple taste will especially complement iced coffee that's been mixed with some of TJ's Pumpkin Butter for a taste that can only be described as a colorful fall day. Use this as the final savor twist on a pumpkin spice latte or with non-pumpkin coffee for a bit of variety in your fall l
