LOS ANGELES, USA — Don Francisco’s Coffee, the flagship premium brand of Gaviña Coffee Company, is celebrating the season with the launch of two new limited-edition fall flavors: Maple Pecan and Caramel Spiced Rum. Crafted with 100% Arabica beans and a smooth medium roast profile, these blends capture the warmth and indulgence of autumn. To inspire consumers beyond the cup, TV host and designer Sabrina Soto shares her tips for creating cozy moments and festive gatherings that highlight the flavors of the season.
As consumer excitement for dessert-inspired flavors grows, seasonal coffees continue to gain popularity, especially new favorites like caramel and pecan. According to the recent DoorDash Fall Flavor Trends Report, pecan was the fastest-growing fall flavor, with orders up 28% year over year, while caramel ranked as the top choice in 13 states.*
“Our Savor Our Flavors collection includes favorites like Vanilla Nut, Hawaiian Hazelnut, and yes, even Pumpkin Spice, but we continue to innovate and delight flavored coffee fans by introducing limited-time offerings such as Maple Pecan and Caramel Spiced Rum,” said Lisette Gaviña Lopez, fourth-generation roaster at Gaviña Coffee Company. “These delicious new coffees capture the seasonal spirit, elevate everyday cups, and inspire new coffee creations.”
Don Francisco’s Maple Pecan coffee is a smooth, medium roast made with 100% Arabica beans. It combines the sweet warmth of maple and toasted pecans with creamy caramel undertones for a cozy, indulgent cup. Don Francisco’s Caramel Spiced Rum coffee is also a smooth, medium roast made with 100% Arabica beans. It layers dark caramel and sweet butterscotch with a hint of spiced rum, creating a decadent flavor that is both comforting and unforgettable.
“I’m all about layering this time of year, not just with textures but with scents and flavors too. Coffee is such a big part of how I create that cozy vibe,” said Sabrina Soto, TV host and designer. “The Maple Pecan is perfect for those lazy afternoons when you just want to curl up with a good book. And the Caramel Spiced Rum? That’s my go-to after dinner. They’re both simple ways to make everyday moments feel a little more special and add that wow factor to any gathering.”
Both seasonal flavors are available now at donfranciscos.com in 12-ounce ground coffee bags ($10.99). Maple Pecan is also offered in single-serve 24-count pods compatible with Keurig brewers. Select formats are available on amazon.com/donfranciscos, including 20-ounce whole-bean bags ($19.99). When the last cup is poured, consumers can recycle Don Francisco’s Coffee packaging for free through TerraCycle at www.terracycle.com.
To celebrate the season, Sabrina Soto will incorporate the following two Don Francisco’s recipes into her own gatherings: Maple Pecan Buttercream Coffee and Caramel Spiced Rum Coffee Cocktail (which can also be enjoyed as a mocktail).
