Autumn officially kicked off for Starbucks enthusiasts at the close of August with the return of the much-loved pumpkin spice lattes. But for those eager to replicate this flavorful coffee treat at home without breaking the bank, Nespresso has reintroduced some of its popular seasonal flavors, including pumpkin spice.
In response to a survey showing that more than half of UK coffee drinkers enjoy seasonal flavors to enhance their coffee experience, Nespresso has relaunched four top autumn blends for 2025. The Maple Pecan and Pumpkin Spice Cake varieties are now available for purchase on the Nespresso website, with Gingerbread and Peppermint Pinwheel coming soon.
To mark this occasion, Nespresso brand ambassador Sir David Beckham recently attended a brunch at the Nespresso Covent Garden store, where special recipes featuring the seasonal flavors were served.
While Maple Pecan was Nespresso’s fastest-selling limited-edition pod in 2024, Pumpkin Spice Cake is the go-to choice for those aiming to recreate a PSL at home. Infused with sweet pumpkin, clove, cinnamon, and cardamom notes, this blend offers medium levels of body, bitterness, and acidity, suitable for both hot coffee mugs and iced beverages.
Nespresso’s Pumpkin Spice Cake original pods, designed for machines like Pixie or Grind, are priced at £5.50 for a sleeve of 10 pods, making each coffee cost just 55p. Even factoring in the cost of milk for lattes, this DIY option proves significantly more economical than purchasing one from cafes like Starbucks, which typically charge around £4 per cup.
The limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Cake in Nespresso’s newer Vertuo pods is available for £8.50 per 10 pods, still offering savings compared to store-bought alternatives. Readers can learn more about the differences between Nespresso’s Original and Vertuo machines in a review linked here.
For those without a coffee pod machine, an easy way to enjoy a PSL at home is by incorporating flavored syrup into regular coffee. Popular choices on Amazon include MONIN Pumpkin Spice Syrup and Simply Pumpkin Spice Syrup, offering the same autumnal experience at varying prices.
To elevate the home barista experience further, consider investing in a milk frother for creamy lattes and cappuccinos. Options like the Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother or a handheld battery-powered milk whisk are available at different price points to suit every budget.
