Halloween is not only for sweets. It is also a good excuse to slow down, make something warming and give a small seasonal gift to someone who loves coffee. From a dark, smoky roast to pumpkin-covered mugs, autumn syrups and fun finishing touches, these are our favourite ways to bring Halloween into the coffee cupboard.
At the centre of it all is our limited-edition Halloween Coffee Blend, returning soon for the darker evenings ahead.
Halloween Coffee Blend: a dark roast for darker evenings
Our Halloween Coffee Blend is a bold, dark roast with flavours of chocolate, roasted nuts and smoky depth. It has a full body, low acidity and a smooth finish, making it a very easy coffee to enjoy on a cool October evening.
It works particularly well as espresso or in a moka pot, where its richer flavours come through clearly. Add milk for a rounded flat white or latte, or brew it as a strong cafetière coffee to share while the trick-or-treaters are at the door.
Available in 250g and 500g bags, as whole beans or ground for your chosen brewing method, it also makes a thoughtful seasonal gift without becoming another box of sweets.
Halloween and autumn mugs
A good mug turns an everyday coffee into more of an occasion. Choose an unmistakably Halloween design or a softer autumn pattern that can stay in the cupboard throughout the season.

Seasonal syrups and something sweet
Flavoured coffee is an easy way to make an autumn evening feel special. Pumpkin spice is the obvious choice, but toasted marshmallow and popcorn are particularly good for a Halloween drinks table. Start with a small amount of syrup, taste, and add more if needed.

Quick pumpkin-spice latte

The same idea works with hot chocolate for children or anyone avoiding coffee. Toasted marshmallow syrup makes a good alternative to pumpkin spice.
