A medium-dark roast is the best coffee roast that will work well with snickerdoodle coffee. Usually, a light roast such as blonde roast coffee will produce an underwhelming flavor that may not pair well with the spices and sweetness of snickerdoodle coffee. On the other hand, a medium-dark roast with caramelized flavors will pair well with the spices added to the coffee. Additionally, a dark roast is also an ideal choice if you want an intense flavor for your joe. The strong flavor in dark coffee roasts complements the sweetness of snickerdoodle coffee.

For sugar, you can either use brown sugar, light brown, or dark brown sugar; whatever brown sugar is available in your home will work for the recipe. When it comes to spices, cinnamon and nutmeg are the best options for snickerdoodle coffee. Spices are meant to give the coffee some flavor. If you love your coffee sweeter and creamy, feel free to add whipped cream. Additionally, you can add frothed milk or simply a splash of milk to create a nice layer for your joe.

Best Brewing Technique for Snickerdoodle Coffee

While there are a variety of coffee brewing techniques, French press and pour-over are the best brewing techniques for snickerdoodle coffee. The French press technique involves steeping some coffee grounds water that’s hot, then using a French press plunger to press down the grounds, thus separating the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee.

On the other hand, the pour-over coffee brewing technique involves pouring some hot water slowly over the coffee grounds and collecting the brewed coffee at the bottom. That said, the brewing method depends on the coffee brewer in your home and your personal preferences. Generally, any of these techniques will produce great coffee.
