This holiday season, transform your mornings with one of the best holiday coffee recipes; and easy home brewing tips featuring our fan-favorite blends like Blue Beetle Horchata, affectionately described by many as “Christmas in my cup!” with its cozy cinnamon and vanilla notes.

What You'll Need

• Comics On Coffee fresh whole bean coffee (try Blue Beetle Horchata for that seasonal vibe)

• Burr grinder (for consistent medium grind)

• Your preferred brewing device (pour-over, French press, or drip)

• Filtered water

• Kitchen scale or measuring spoons

• Optional: cinnamon, holiday syrups, whipped cream for festive touches

Perfect Brew Ratios for Holiday Cheer

• Use 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 to 8 ounces of water—this ratio ensures a rich, balanced cup that highlights each unique flavor note in our blends.

• Adjust based on strength preference but start here for a wonderful holiday brew.

Step-By-Step Brewing Guide

1. Grind Fresh: Grind your coffee to a medium consistency right before brewing. For Blue Beetle Horchata, freshness is key to locking in those warm cinnamon and vanilla aromas.

2. Heat Water to 200°F (Just Off Boil): Pouring water that’s too hot can scorch your grounds, while too cold will under-extract. The right temp unlocks the best tastes from our carefully roasted beans.

3. Prepare Your Brewing Device Pre-wet your paper filter under hot water to avoid any paper taste, and warm up your pot or mug.

4. Bloom Your Coffee: Pour just enough water (about twice the weight of the coffee) to saturate the grounds and let it bloom for 30 seconds. Watch those delicious aromas start filling the air.

5. Continue Pouring Slowly (For Pour-over): Pour the rest of the water slowly in circular motions. Total brew time should be about 3-4 minutes. For French press, steep for 4 minutes before pressing.

6. Add Festive Extras: For an extra holiday touch, stir in a dash of cinnamon and top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg for the perfect festive finish.
