Pumpkin Spice Latte Using Coffee Capsules
Make fall’s favorite drink at home—faster, cheaper, and just as cozy
You don’t have to wait in line at a coffee shop (or wait for autumn) to enjoy a warm, comforting Pumpkin Spice Latte. With a coffee capsule machine, a few simple ingredients, and 5 minutes, you can recreate this seasonal favorite from the comfort of your kitchen—any time of year.
Here’s how to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte using coffee capsules, with easy substitutions and flavor tips.
???? What You’ll Need
-
Coffee capsule machine (Nespresso, L’OR, Keurig, etc.)
-
1 espresso capsule (or strong coffee capsule)
-
¾ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
-
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
-
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Whipped cream and a dash of spice (optional, for topping)
???? How to Make It
1. Brew the Coffee
Use a bold, smooth espresso or coffee capsule to give your latte a rich base. Try:
-
Nespresso Arpeggio or Roma
-
Starbucks Espresso Roast (for capsule machines)
-
L’OR Colombia or Onyx
Brew directly into your favorite mug.
2. Make the Pumpkin Spice Milk
In a small saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl), combine:
-
Milk
-
Pumpkin puree
-
Maple syrup or sugar
-
Pumpkin spice
-
Vanilla extract
Heat gently, whisking until warm and slightly frothy. Do not boil.
???? Shortcut: Use a milk frother that heats & whisks at the same time, adding the ingredients directly to the frother.
3. Combine & Top
Pour the warm pumpkin-spiced milk into your brewed espresso. Stir gently.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for the full fall café experience.
???? Customization Ideas
-
Iced version: Chill the milk mixture, pour over espresso and ice
-
Low-sugar: Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener
-
Extra pumpkin flavor: Add more puree or a pumpkin-flavored syrup
-
Dairy-free: Use oat milk or almond milk for creamy, plant-based texture

Faster: Ready in under 5 minutes
-
Cheaper: Costs a fraction of store-bought versions

Healthier: Control the sugar, milk, and real pumpkin content
