Don Francisco's Coffee Introduces New Fall Flavors

As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, Don Francisco's Coffee is ready to usher in the autumn spirit with the launch of two new limited-edition flavors: Maple Pecan and Caramel Spiced Rum. This initiative by the Gaviña Coffee Company marks a celebration of cozy moments, enticing aromas, and the delightful taste of the season while catering to the growing demand for dessert-inspired coffee flavors.

Capturing the Essence of Fall

Made from 100% Arabica beans, both flavors are designed to provide a smooth, medium roast experience that captures the essence of autumn. The Maple Pecan variety intertwines the sweetness of maple with the richness of toasted pecans, completed with creamy caramel undertones. Meanwhile, the Caramel Spiced Rum variant artfully combines dark caramel and butterscotch flavors with a hint of spiced rum, making it a decadent indulgence for coffee lovers.

According to the DoorDash Fall Flavor Trends Report, there has been a significant uptick in popularity for fall flavors like pecan, which noted a 28% increase in orders, while caramel was identified as a top pick across 13 states. These insights underscore the growing enthusiasm for flavor innovation in seasonal coffees.

Lisette Gaviña Lopez, a fourth-generation roaster at Gaviña Coffee Company, expressed excitement about the new additions, stating, "Our Savor Our Flavors collection already includes classics like Vanilla Nut and Pumpkin Spice, but we’re committed to delighting coffee enthusiasts by introducing irresistible seasonal offerings like Maple Pecan and Caramel Spiced Rum."

Creating Special Moments

TV host and designer Sabrina Soto emphasizes the importance of cozy moments during the fall season, suggesting that coffee plays a pivotal role in creating these experiences. "Coffee is such a big part of how I create that cozy vibe," Soto shared. She recommends the Maple Pecan for leisurely afternoons and the Caramel Spiced Rum as a perfect after-dinner treat. She elaborates that such flavors transform everyday occurrences into special moments and elevate any gathering to a more festive atmosphere.

Both flavors are conveniently available at donfranciscos.com in 12-ounce ground coffee bags priced at $10.99. For those who prefer single-serve options, the Maple Pecan flavor is also offered in a 24-count pod pack compatible with Keurig brewers, ensuring everyone can enjoy these seasonal delights. Select products can also be found on Amazon in various formats, including 20-ounce whole-bean bags for $19.99.

Furthermore, once you savor your last cup, Don Francisco's Coffee encourages consumers to recycle their packaging through a partnership with TerraCycle, facilitating sustainable practices among coffee lovers.
