Some ingredients prove to be better than others for these cold days, but caffeine is always a perfect option. That’s why today we’ve brought the best Christmas recipes so you can stay in your pajamas all day and watch your favorite movies with a coffee mug to keep you company!

Baked Peppermint Mocha Donuts

Finally, take your passion for Christmas coffee to a whole new level with these delicious donuts. They’re easy to make, and they’re topped with an irresistible chocolate peppermint glaze. You’ll need:

Ingredients

Donut

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp espresso powder
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbsp Dunkin' Donuts® Bakery Series Chocolate Glazed Donut Pre-pack Bag, brewed (and cooled to room temperature)
• 1/4 cup half & half
• 3 Tbsp sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp canola oil

Peppermint Mocha Glaze

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp Dunkin' Donuts® Bakery Series Chocolate Glazed Donut Pre-pack Bag, brewed
• 2-4 Tbsp Dunkin Donuts® Extra Extra Creamer
• 1/8 tsp peppermint extract (it's very strong, and a little goes a long way)

Topping

• Crushed Peppermint Candies

Instructions

Donuts

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a donut pan with baking spray and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder together until well combined. Set aside.
3. Whisk the egg, coffee, and half & half together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the wet ingredients. Mix until combined (batter will be fairly thick).
4. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and canola oil; mix until well combined.
5. Pour batter into greased donut pan, filling each donut cavity about 3/4 of the way full (this batter can make about 7-8 donuts).
6. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the donut 'springs' back when touched. Allow it to cool a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Glaze

7. In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and cocoa powder together. Add in coffee, and 2 Tbsp of creamer, and whisk until combined. If the glaze feels too thick, add in remaining creamer, 1 Tbsp at a time (I used 3 Tbsp, but I do prefer a thicker glaze).
8. Add in peppermint extract, and mix until well combined.
9. Dip each donut into the glaze, and top with crushed peppermint candies. Allow the glaze to set (about 10 minutes).
10. Enjoy!

We’d probably be doing the same, but we’ve got too many coffee beans to keep roasting. Follow That Coffee Roasters on social media to get more recipes and content!

Have a Warm and Merry Christmas from That Coffee Roasters!

What's a Christmas morning without morning coffee?

Nothing better to start today’s Christmas morning than a cup of warm and sweet coffee. Stay in your pajamas all day and enjoy the coziness of the holidays by watching all Christmas specials you can catch with your family. That Coffee Roasters is right here to join you and celebrate the best of the festivities right by your side!

That’s because this year, we’ve got so many things to be thankful for. That Coffee Roasters has grown. Now we can offer our clients an incredible variety of coffee products and roasts from all parts of the world. We get to do what we love. Not many people are lucky enough to say the same. Also, we’ve always wanted to honor our Colombian roots and traditions through our work, and that’s exactly what our goal has always been every time we roast a coffee bean.

Family means everything to us. Because we’ve stayed and worked together, today we’re able to celebrate this Christmas with big hopes for the next year to come. That’s why this December, we encourage all of our friends and clients to take a moment to value every memory they have with their loved ones and to keep creating new ones!

For many of us, coming to the U.S. is part of a story of strength against adversities. We’re grateful for everything this country has given to us, and we hope that, through That Coffee Roasters, we can give something back in exchange for all those opportunities we’ve found in these lands.

This year, we started connecting with you through our social media, and we’ve got so many new things to come in 2018 that you won’t want to miss absolutely anything! So follow us, have a cup of coffee, and keep enjoying the rest of the month with love, compassion, and hope!

Thank you for this wonderful year!

Perfect Gifts For Coffee Lovers On Christmas

Coffee lovers will be smitten with these gifts.

Exchanging gifts can be one of the most exciting parts of Christmas! It comes with the nervousness of watching your family’s and friends’ faces as they open the presents you got for them. It can also turn extremely awkward if you fail to give them something they like and they have to lie their way through to convince you that they did like it. We all know what that “thank you! It’s really nice...” means when it’s said with an undertone of embarrassment and disappointment. It can be hard to find the perfect gift, but for us coffee lovers, this is an easy job.

There are plenty options your caffeine addict friends would absolutely adore. Give them the opportunity to try new ways to brew coffee or taste new products, and you’ll have won this year’s festivities! Coffee has the power to lighten our mood, so share a mug with everyone you love on Christmas morning and let it be a day full of love, laughter, and joy. Start picking among some of these gifts for coffee lovers.

Cold-brew coffee maker

Prepare a glorious cold-brew with a specialized maker. An authentic coffee lover knows the difference between iced coffee and cold-brewed coffee. The magic behind the extraction process is what makes the difference! A cold-brew coffee maker will let you extract the fats, oils, and soluble from coffee but it will leave its chemical structures relatively intact, resulting in a rich and flavorful beverage less acidic and with a fuller body. It’s simply perfect for the summer, although not so much for winter… You can find some great options right here and here.

Coffee cup warmer

All that office work can distract people from those truly important things… like coffee. Don’t you just hate when you get so absorbed by your job that you forget your glorious little mug sitting right there waiting for you to enjoy it? Only to find out that’s already cold. Way to go, workaholic. But fear no more, coffee cup warmers are here to save your day. Give yourself or someone else a nice little present and say goodbye to cold cups of coffee! Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer is great for this, or if you feel a little ambitious, try this mug warmer with Bluetooth integrated to listen to music while you enjoy your coffee time.

Hand-held espresso maker

Thank God for the 21st century. Technology has now made it possible for us to have our espresso anywhere we go. Enjoy it in your travels, while camping, at work, at your friend’s house. Espresso's fun doesn’t need to end at your favorite cafe. A handheld espresso maker allows you to do it by only adding hot water and some finely ground coffee. You don’t even need electricity because they can work with human power to produce the necessary pressure to brew an espresso. Find them right here or here and let espresso bless every day of your life!

Cookie Monster mug

Cuteness overload is here thanks to this absolutely adorable mug! It’s a perfect gift for a friend with a unique and quirky personality. It’s handmade and holds your chocolate cookies as well as your coffee. You can also find many mugs like this, but with different designs, it’s just great to fill that cuteness need of our hearts.

Grinder

You will never have the freshest cup of joe than when you grind the beans yourself.  For coffee aficionados, this experience is something absolutely worth having. Because coffee tends to get stale quickly, brewing pre-grounded coffee might always result in a lack of coffee’s original flavor. So pick a grinder as a gift and the lucky soul you get to give it to will thank you forever. Find a fantastic hand grinder right here!

Coffee basket

A great complement to any present you choose is a selection of great coffee products. Pick a basket or prepare a cute bag and fill it with all your love (and all the love you know your friend feels for coffee). At That Coffee Roasters’ online shop, you’ll find a wide variety of coffee from different origins and roasting styles. It’s everything you need to create the greatest coffee gift of all times!

Warm your coffee lover friends' hearts!
