November: Save Room

November is the month where dessert gets its own second sitting. Three coffees built for the dessert table, a Christmas lineup that starts rolling out in week one, and enough recipes to keep you busy until December.

Coffees for the Dessert Table

Three flavors for the part of the meal everyone actually planned around. Out November 1.

Technically Not Pie Coffee

Technically Not Pie

Medium Roast

(It's cobbler. We've had this debate.) Pie people and cobbler people have been arguing across the same table for generations, and this coffee isn't taking a side. It just tastes great either way.

Tasting notes:

Tart cranberry · sweet baked apple · buttery golden crust

The fruit leads, the crust rounds it out, and the finish is warm and just sweet enough. Good with the dessert table, or with leftover dessert for breakfast the next morning.

The Cookie Tin Coffee

The Cookie Tin

Medium Roast

Every family has the cookie tin. Statistically, it contains thread. This one contains the real thing.

Tasting notes:

Cinnamon-sugar · butter · vanilla

A soft, sweet cookie flavor with a cinnamon-sugar edge that's friendly rather than fiery. Good with the cookies, obviously, and also over ice when the dessert table runs long.

The Good China Coffee

The Good China

Medium Roast

Use the good china. (This coffee's worth it.) Somewhere in your house there's a set of dishes that only comes out for company and gets hand-washed while everyone hovers. This is the coffee that belongs in it, so stop waiting for the occasion.

Tasting notes:

Smooth vanilla · vanilla custard · a warm, quiet spice at the end

Mellow and rounded, with a gentle finish that doesn't announce itself. Good with shortbread, a plated dessert, or the last quiet cup after everyone's gone home.

Seasonal Moments

Dates Worth Circling

A short list. You're busy.

November 13 · Friday the 13th

The 12 Days of Coffee arrives today. If you're superstitious, this is the lucky kind of Friday.

November 23 · National Espresso Day

A good excuse to pull a shot of something Christmassy. Cinnamon Snowflake and Peppermint Twist drop the same day.

November 26 · Thanksgiving

Save room. Then pour the good china coffee and pretend you're not going back for a second slice.

November 27–30 · Black Friday Weekend

Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Offers start on Thanksgiving, and new drops keep landing right through the weekend.
