Fall is a season of quiet comforts. Cooler mornings. Slower starts. A return to small rituals that make the day feel grounded. The Salted Maple Brown Sugar Latte captures that feeling in a cup. It blends the boldness of espresso with the cozy sweetness of brown sugar and maple, finished with a salted maple cold foam that feels like a little luxury. It’s rich but balanced, sweet without being heavy, and made to be lingered over.

SHOP EMBER BREWSDirections
- Brew espresso in your moka pot. While it’s still hot, stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves. We recommend Brandywine Coffee Roasters’ Orbital Motion Espresso Blend for its complementing flavors including notes of brown sugar and Nutmeg.
- In a frother or small jar, combine milk, maple syrup, and salt. Froth until soft and airy.
-
Pour the espresso mixture into your Ember Mug, add milk, and spoon the salted maple foam on top.
- Optional: drizzle a touch of maple syrup or dust with cinnamon.
No problem! Aeropress or Moka pot coffee make great, concentrated alternatives to espresso. You can also use your usual brewing method and just make an extra-strong batch.
Make it deluxe!
Add a cinnamon stick for an added layer of spice or a teaspoon of cocoa powder with the espresso for a chocolatey twist.
Make it iced!
For an iced version, fill your Ember Cold Tumbler two-thirds full with ice, pour in the espresso and milk, then top with the foam.
Why it works in Ember
This is a drink meant to be savored. The Ember Mug keeps it perfectly warm from the first sip to the last, without the rush to finish before it cools. And for the iced version, the Ember Cold Tumbler keeps your foam soft and your ice intact so the flavor never fades.
The Last Drop
The Salted Maple Brown Sugar Latte is everything we love about fall in one simple ritual. Warm, balanced, and quietly indulgent. Whether you drink it hot or cold, the blend of maple, salt, and brown sugar makes it the kind of latte you’ll want to come back to all season long.
