What Exactly Is Coffee Concentrate
Coffee Concentrate is going to give you an incredibly rich, smooth coffee mix that is infused with pumpkin spice flavor.
You will use your Instant Pot to really cook down the coffee and in that it will extract all the coffee flavor from the grinds.
You run it through a mess cloth to catch any grinds or spice, so you end up with a smooth liquid to pour into your favorite drinks.
What Type of Coffee Do You Use For Coffee Concentrate
Any ground coffee will work for your coffee Concentrate. Reach for your favorite brand, so you know and enjoy the flavor it brings. Concentrating coffee will bring out a lot more flavor in the beans, versus brewing your beans.
Can I Use Whole Beans For Coffee Concentrate
You will need to grind your beans fine (but not too fine) to use in this pumpkin spice concentrate recipe. Using whole beans without grinding will not work in getting the right flavor you want to achieve.
How Strong Can I Make Pumpkin Spice Coffee Concentrate
It is truly up to you how strong you make your concentrate. That is intended for how strong the coffee is and the pumpkin spice flavor.
Using more coffee will make it stronger and increase the steep time. Adding in more pumpkin spice increases intensity.
But you can also make it a more mellow drink if you find the flavor is too intense. Using less pumpkin spice seasoning or coffee.
What Type Of Water Do You Use For Coffee Concentrate
Filtered water is going to give you a really smooth coffee concentrate. You can use tap water, but keep in mind the quality of the water will affect the outcome.
Is Coffee Concentrate A Cold Brew
No, it is not. Similar flavors but a totally different method of making your coffee. Cold brew is where you steep coffee in cold water for a long period of time. My Concentrate recipe uses the Instant Pot with high pressure and heat to extract all the flavor from the beans and spices.
You get similar flavors in the end but the process of making is polar opposite.
How long can I store my coffee concentrate in the refrigerator
As an undiluted concentrate, it’ll keep for up to two weeks, although the flavor quality will be best the first week.
How should I store my leftover coffee concentrate
Freeze your leftover coffee in ice cube trays, then store cubes in an airtight container for up to six months for the best taste.
Give the gift of Instant Pot Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Concentrate
We all have that one friend that is a coffee addict. Ahem, I am that friend. Giving a sweet thoughtful gift can be the cure all to many blues. It can be just the right amount of acknowledgment of how much you love someone. Look how sweet this little set looks.
How to use your coffee concentrate
My favorite way is to fill a mason jar full of ice, and add in coffee concentrate. A little goes a long way. You will want to pour about 1/3 of the way with coffee, and top with milk, skim milk, heavy cream, or condensed milk.
If you are not using ice, mix an equal amount of concentrate and water, then top with milk or cream.
Can I make a pumpkin spice frappuccino as good as Starbucks?
You can make a pumpkin spice frappuccino that is even better than Starbucks.
Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

- Strain the coffee concentrate to remove the grinds. I poured mine through a coffee filter. (as you get close to the bottom, you may want to strain twice. Most of the sludge is at the bottom and starts to require more straining)
Notes
*For a stronger hardcore end result, use 1 1/2 Cups Coffee Grinds
**If you have used full caffeine, you may want to dilute a bit, with water, if you are not using a lot of milk or creamer.

Can you please clarify the measurements in your recipe: is TSP the same as tsp (teaspoon) or Tbsp (Tablespoon)?
yes 🙂
Hi, this sounds yummy and I want to try it but I’m a little confused as to how to use it. Is it just for cold drinks?
No not just for cold drinks, while people mostly use it for cold drinks, you can absolutely heat it for a nice hot pumpkin spiced coffee.
