A Thanksgiving Coffee Recipe to Warm Your Heart

Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, warmth, and sharing delightful moments with loved ones. And what better way to set the mood than with a comforting cup of festive pour-over coffee? This recipe combines the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee with hints of cinnamon, star anise, and caramel for a cozy treat perfect for the season.

Ingredients
Fresh coffee beans
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
Caramel syrup (1-2 teaspoons, adjust to taste)
Hot water (200°F/93°C)
Optional Add-Ons: Feel free to get creative! Orange zest, nutmeg, vanilla extract, or a splash of your favorite creamer can take this to the next level.

Step 1: Grind Your Coffee Beans
The heart of this recipe lies in freshly ground coffee. Use the O6 Slim Coffee Grinder to achieve the perfect grind consistency for pour-over brewing. Its precise adjustment mechanism ensures an even grind, which is key for unlocking the full flavor of your beans. For this recipe, a medium grind is ideal.

Step 2: Prep Your Pour-Over Setup
Set up your pour-over dripper with a filter, rinsing it with hot water to eliminate any paper taste and preheat your brewing server.

Step 3: Add Your Coffee and Spices
Measure about 20 grams of your freshly ground coffee and add it to the filter. Break the cinnamon stick into smaller pieces and place them along with the star anise over the grounds. These spices will infuse the coffee as the water passes through, creating a subtle, aromatic flavor.

Step 4: Start Brewing
Slowly pour about 50 ml of hot water over the coffee grounds in a circular motion, allowing them to bloom for 30 seconds. This process releases trapped gases and enhances flavor. Gradually continue pouring water until you’ve reached about 300 ml.

Step 5: Add a Sweet Finish
Once your coffee has brewed, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of caramel syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the spiced, caramel-infused coffee into your favorite mug, take a moment to savor the aroma, and enjoy the warmth of the season. Pair it with a slice of pie or sip it solo—it’s the perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving.

With the O6 Slim Coffee Grinder, each cup is a masterpiece of fresh, vibrant flavors. So this Thanksgiving, let your coffee be the highlight of your table—crafted with care and shared with gratitude.
