Pumpkin spice coffee is causing a major stir among coffee drinkers. Major coffee house chains rolled out their pumpkin flavored coffee and latte drinks to enthusiastic responses. Also called holiday coffees or winter coffees, these specialty coffee beverages typically become available from Autumn to early Spring.

Some coffee houses create their pumpkin brew by using flavored coffee beans. Others add flavored syrups and spices to their existing coffee and latte blends. Whichever method you prefer, there are several reasons why spiced pumpkin coffee captures the fancy and tastes of coffee lovers.

Pumpkin, a type of squash, grows as a large orange gourd. It can be prepared and eaten like squash especially when smothered with butter and spices. The unusual size of the pumpkin undoubtedly brought it to the attention of natives and settlers, who made use of it as food.

Today, many western nations celebrate a couple of pumpkin themed holidays in close proximity. Halloween is celebrated in October and features pumpkins carved into ghoulish faces. In November, Thanksgiving would not be complete without pumpkin pie and coffee. It is no surprise that pumpkin flavor and coffee have become so well associated with family, fun, and warm feelings.

Spices complete the recipe that makes spiced pumpkin coffee so appealing. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice combine to lend their savory tastes to pumpkin coffee. Premixed pumpkin spice can also be used in pumpkin lattes, as can pumpkin pie filling. Spices, like fine China, are often used only for special occasions like dinner guests or holidays. Pumpkin spices add excitement to other beverages such as eggnog. The aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin evoke fond memories of baking pies and family moments.

National coffee chains understand the appeal of pumpkin flavored coffee and are capitalizing on it. The consumers get the warm, frothy pumpkin coffee they want. The vendors get the large boost to their bottom line from the unlikely drink called pumpkin spice coffee.
