There is something about autumn that makes a good cup of coffee feel even better.
The mornings are darker, the jumpers are back, and that first hot coffee of the day starts to feel less like a routine and more like a reward.
At Dancing Goat Coffee, autumn is a brilliant time to explore richer flavours. Chocolate, caramel, nuts and deeper roasts all seem especially at home once the temperature drops.
Here are a few favourites from our Coffee at Home range to make those cooler days a little more comforting.
Kenyan Peaberry: A Seasonal Limited Edition
If you fancy trying something a little different this autumn, our Kenyan Peaberry Coffee is well worth discovering.
This seasonal limited edition comes from Kenya’s Gichugu region and offers notes of blackcurrant, chocolate and citrus orange.
That combination makes it a lovely autumn coffee. The chocolate brings richness, while the fruit and citrus keep the cup lively and balanced.
Peaberries are slightly unusual too. Instead of the usual two seeds developing inside the coffee cherry, a peaberry forms as one rounded seed. The result is a distinctive coffee that is always interesting to explore.
As this one is limited edition, it will not be around forever >> Shop our Kenyan Coffee here
Ballante di Capre: Smooth and Comforting
For something mellow and familiar, Ballante di Capre is a great choice.
With smooth caramel and chocolate flavours, it is exactly the kind of coffee that suits slower autumn mornings, rainy afternoons and that extra ten minutes with your favourite mug.
It works beautifully black or with milk, making it an easy everyday choice >> Shop our Ballante di Capre Coffee here
Brazilian Forro: Nutty and Full-Bodied
If you enjoy a richer, slightly nutty coffee, Brazilian Forro is another autumn favourite.
This pure Arabica coffee has a full body, natural sweetness, nutty character and a hint of dark chocolate.
It is smooth, comforting and particularly good when paired with an autumn bake or enjoyed after lunch >> Shop our Brazilian Forro Coffee here
Cafe Bar: Café-Style Coffee at Home
For those who love flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes, Cafe Bar is a dependable option.
Inspired by Northern Italian café culture, it has low acidity and soft nutty undertones, with enough body to work beautifully with milk.
It is the sort of coffee that brings a little café comfort into your kitchen, especially when the weather outside is doing its best to keep you indoors >> Shop our Cafe Bar Coffee here
Finding Your Autumn Favourite
There is no single “perfect” autumn coffee.
You might love the chocolate and caramel notes of Ballante di Capre, the nutty richness of Brazilian Forro or the authentic character of Cafe Bar.
Or you might decide this is the season to try something new, such as our limited-edition Kenyan Peaberry, with its mix of blackcurrant, chocolate and citrus orange.
Whichever you choose, autumn is a good excuse to slow down, try a different coffee and enjoy the simple pleasure of a properly good cup.
