Making James Hoffmann’s Ultimate Pumpkin Spice Latte: Is it worth it?

[@jameshoffmann]

Thank you so much for trying it and especially for sharing it! (and also for the extremely generous score!). I’m looking forward to your coffee release next week, very interested to see what you’ve been working on. Good luck for the launch!

[@PatrickJoannisse]

I hope to see her on your channel next year!

[@DavidM828]

What a legend.

[@maceheath]

I hope you review her coffee eventually James

[@hassakiroses8627]

Glad to see you here James!

Have England and the States just reconciled over coffee???

[@tom6047]

Man walks in to coffee shop “I’ll have the pumpkin spiced latte” 6 hours later coffees ready 😳

[@JorgeAlvarado-nx9tv]

Of course no. They don't sell it if you don't order it 48 hours in advance.

[@remnant24]

Inorite? You'd think they would make batches in advance and store it so all that's left to do when an order comes in is prepare the espresso and combine everything.

[@singhbrahamdeep]

lol, not like they would be grinding the spices and squeezing out the juice right when someone asks for it XD

[@yipperdeyip]

Yeah this is way too much of a hassle. Only influencers and stuck-ups will even think of trying this

[@wasabisniffles]

Ig you can make the syrup in large batches beforehand

[@rankaK]

I tried the recipe when James posted it and didn't have a juicer either. Funnily I came up with the same solution as you! I really loved the result, it is really delicious with tea and milk, too!

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Ooh, adding it to a black tea sounds amazing!

[@TheBejbiborn]

Same!

[@NerdyMaiden]

For everyone who wants to make this, when I made it, I warmed up the pumpkin puree in the microwave to release some of the juice. So much better! Let it completely cool before trying to extract.

[@craiglodzinski]

'I'm more of a Clove fan than James is' That's not all that hard.....

[@chaseburrows5594]

Makes me happy when content creators try each other's recipes. I'm honestly a pumpkin spice latte fan myself and wouldn't mind enjoying them all year round or maybe extend the fall season a bit more. I'm not the biggest fan of winter drinks, although I guess the new starbucks Jolly Apple Latte is an exception but it still reminds me of fall! haha XD

[@colinmcillece9646]

FYI, the nutmeg should be purchased whole and ground fresh. Hoffman talks about it briefly in his video, but nutmeg (like coffee) has a bunch of VOCs that break down pretty quickly after grinding, and so the powdered stuff just isn't quite the same. That's true of the ginger as well, though.

[@cupguin]

Preach. I grew up with freshly ground nutmeg, first time I tried powdered I was pretty horrified.

[@mjgilbert5475]

I just feel very confident that whole nutmeg can be easily attained in PDX

[@burgers8]

Even though it produces a big mess to clean up, the benefit of the syrup, in my experience, is that it produced more than enough for my PSL drinking season. If you really are a PSL keener, or have more than one in the same household, you might have to make it twice.

[@jenniferp501]

This recipe is giving America’s Test Kitchen vibes with time and number of steps. I’m glad it tastes delicious after all that effort!

[@CorkandJava]

But we just left pumpkin spice season and entered peppermint season! Peppermint Mocha upcoming?

LOL I loved the dishwashing bit at the end. I very much appreciate seeing that in cooking videos, the cleanup. Also, it's cool how you mix things up and modify the recipe as you go along. It's very inspiring! 😃

I was just craving some pumpkin spice and here comes a notification coming from the skyes! I’ll try asap

[@YodasPapa]

I like it when you have something so good you actually can't help smiling. I remember having just made, still warm, caramelised walnuts and it was like that. My chef was going on about how something so simple can be so good, and when I tried it I burst out laughing.

[@morganfumich1267]

As a Morgan who loves coffee, I'm so pleasantly surprised to find your channel! Keep up the great work Morgan! :D

[@fireflygirl1027]

Glad you tried this recipe out. We are waiting for all of our spices to arrive to make it here (mess and all). You make the process look easier to do than James did.

[@Disrasp]

the crossover we've all been waiting for

[@brandonb417]

I just made a batch of this last night, actually before I saw this video, from James' recipe. I used a macerating juicer and I think your juicing method was probably A) faster and B) a cleaner juice. The juicer I used had a ton of pulp, which makes getting through a cheese cloth at the end a royal pain.

[@itsxris]

Thanks for the shout out! :) Aren't those premium spices so worth it?? (+1 for using grams!)

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

100% worth it!

[@lizalove91]

Cinnamon sold in the USA is Cassia. Thick, one layer very hard bark. It is sold as cassia in Europe. True cinnamon has a thin, multilayered bark you can crush with your hands. You can find true cinnamon in the USA in some Mexican food imports stores. True cinnamon has a more delicate, smoother flavor. I like it a lot better to cassia, that is sold as cinnamon everywhere in the USA.

[@SupernovaBetty]

You’ve got the cinnamons backwards. Cassia cinnamon is the more common one in the states and it’s what generally people think of here when you say cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon aka “true” cinnamon is less common here and you mostly can find it whole, not ground. Nice to see someone make this in a normal hot e kitchen. I was curious about trying it.

[@77Brainfreeze]

You know you're a coffee person when you esspesso machine costs more than your oven and refrigerator combined. :)

[@goodfoodgoodliving6691]

After I had done the spice syrup, I got an ahh moment. I make the syrup thicker. I can use this same syrup in my flan and have it pumpkin spiced flan. Thank you, Morgan. 💚

[@carmivanronk275]

[@cimoirine]

Great ideas, Morgan!! Oohhh that looks so good!!!

[@MikeFLHT]

Nice job! Morgan is truly back!

[@Poiuy]

You should try making a mocha but substitute regular coffee with turkish coffee

[@TarotLadyLissa]

Pumpkin Spice just refers to the spice blend, most recipes don't actually have pumpkin in them. A lot of pumpkin spice things are just the spice. I might try this next season, sans pumpkin. lol

[@gateauxq4604]

Im watching his video and it occurred to me that if you want to extract juice by blending the pumpkin it would probably be a good idea to add the volume of water during the blending. Pumpkins are a bit drier thank most juiced fruits and veggies so I think that water would work wonders to help extra more juice from the blended pulp. This looks delicious!

[@KarissaGraymoon]

I know I'm a bit late, but I'm new here. I noticed in one of your videos that you live in the Portland area, and you have access to an amazing spice store called Penzey's. It's right across from Powells, and I highly recommend them!

[@goodfoodgoodliving6691]

Hello like this recipe and will give it a try. I also wanted to let you know that Cassia bark is known here in the States as Vietnamese Cinnamon. I am not a very coffee drinker myself, but my son loves the various possibilities I can make him. Thank you so much. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

There's so much difference between fresh grated nutmeg and store bought. It oxidises so quickly. Surprised it was hard for you to find.

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

I was gonna say that’s the one thing I wouldn’t have compromised on. Freshly ground nutmeg is a lot more rich and strong

[@Kaoss134]

Just found your channel. Freakin love your hair! I’m sure it’s changed by now but this was a good look. Also, your kitchen is lookin hella nice

since you are using a cheese cloth, you can use the whole grinded pumping to get more flavor

[@nataliejones6626]

If i want a pumpkin spice latte, i just at a helping teaspoon of pumpkin butter. I pick up a jar every year at my local apple orchard. If you dont like the the texture of adding it, you could always infuse your milk with it bad then strain through a cheesecloth, but i dont mind it

[@OSCARMlLDE]

[@deathsrat]

Having made a huge batch of this for my work here's a few tips, you can just use a fine grater disc in a food processor rather than blending it, I'm not sure if it was the spices I used instead of the exact recipe or the fact that I was trying to reduce down the syrup whilst running around but it has a really weird consistency that can actually pull a lot more syrup out of the bottle than you intend to pour

If you cook your pumpkin it will yield more juice and cooked pumpkin has a better, more sweet flavor than raw. You can microwave your raw puree or roast it whole.

What software do you use for your voiceover? And also, could you use canned pumpkin? By the way, quick way to get the puree: cut the gourd in half or in quarters, then put it in a baking sheet with half an inch of water. Then bake in the oven until the tip of the knife goes through the pumpkin
