Equipment and Ingredients Needed

  • French press: You can also use a coffee maker.
  • Hot water
  • Dark roast ground coffee: A bold, dark roast like Café Bustelo balances perfectly with the citrus and spices. If you prefer something lighter, try a medium roast for a milder flavor.
  • Fresh orange peels: Fresh is key. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to get large strips of peel without too much of the bitter white pith. This gives your coffee a bright, zesty aroma.
  • Cinnamon
  • Ground cloves
  • Ground nutmeg
  • Half and half
  • Sweetener of your choice: Brown sugar, honey, or even maple syrup add extra depth and pair beautifully with the warm spices. Adjust to your taste.

Recipe Notes and Tips.

  • Make it ahead: Brew a larger batch of spiced orange coffee, let it chill, and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Perfect for quick iced coffee all week.
  • Dairy-free twist: Swap the half and half with oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk for a creamy, plant-based version.
  • For extra orange flavor: Steep the brew with more peels or orange zest.

  1. I PERSONALLY never had luck with busteslo in my french press as it was too finely gound. Granted, it will vary by PERSONAL taste, but For How long did you let your brew steep?
