If you love Halloween and you love coffee — get excited. Dunkin’ has just announced its newest Halloween-inspired coffee drinks, available in Dunkin’ stores nationwide starting October 16th. Dunkin’ is certainly getting in the Halloween spirit with the name of its new drink, called the Potion Macchatio. The Potion Macchiato will be available as either an iced coffee or a hot coffee drink. This macchiato drink is made with blended layers of espresso and milk, topped with a vibrant, purple marshmallow ube flavor. The picture of this drink showcases its bright purple color — and we’re excited to see what its magical flavor will taste like.

In addition to the Potion Macchiato, Dunkin’ has released a few other Halloween-themed food items to order alongside your coffee. Options include a new Spider Specialty Donut and a Halloween Munchkins basket, featuring chocolate and orange spinkle-covered donut holes. While we do remember some Halloween-inspired donuts and bites available last year, this year brings an exciting new Halloween-themed coffee drink to the menu.

Just in time to celebrate International Coffee Day, October 1st, eco-friendly single-serve coffee pod maker Bruvi has announced a new release of coffee pods. Partnering with LAMILL, a regional specialty roaster born in 1997, this mash-up means Bruvi customers can now enjoy a Bliss espresso blend roast brewed from their Bruvi brewer. Bruvi brewers are unique in the industry, using their own pods which do not use paper. Using double filters instead of paper allows microgrids to pass through for full-bodied flavor and maintain optimal freshness for the perfect cup of coffee.

This announcement complements the already-existing LAMILL Black Onyx variety, a dark roast coffee with toasty, dark caramel flavor notes. As a roaster, the LAMILL brand is committed to enriching the daily lives of people and communities by curating unforgettable coffee experiences. LAMILL's Bliss Espresso blend is available exclusively for the Bruvi single-serving brewing system. In a contemporary nod to traditional espresso, this blend combines caramelized sugar with understated fruity notes. Pods contain coffee sourced in Brazil, Guatemala, and Ethiopia.
