Top Coffee Picks to Kick Off September Mornings

in Day to Day Coffee Blogs

September is a turning point. The carefree pace of summer gives way to early alarms, busier commutes, and a fresh focus on routines. Whether you’re sending kids back to school, getting into a work groove, or simply embracing the shift in season, your mornings need a reliable ritual.

And at the center of that ritual is coffee.

Not just any coffee, though — blends that balance comfort and energy, indulgence and focus. That’s why at Day to Day Coffee, we’ve crafted flavors that not only wake you up but also bring warmth and joy to the start of your day.

Two of our best picks for September mornings are Salted Caramel and Breakfast Blend. Together, they give you options for both indulgence and motivation.

 

Why Your September Coffee Choice Matters

Coffee is more than a beverage. It sets the tone for the hours ahead. Especially in September, the coffee you choose can:

  • Ease you into the season. After summer’s iced drinks, a cozy, warming blend feels just right.
  • Support productivity. School drop-offs, meetings, and fall projects all require steady energy.
  • Add comfort to routine. Flavored blends like salted caramel can make mornings feel less like a chore and more like a treat.

When you choose thoughtfully, your first cup does more than fuel your body — it helps you enjoy the rhythm of fall mornings.

 

 

Salted Caramel: Sweet Comfort in a Cup

Sometimes mornings call for something that feels special. That’s where our Salted Caramel Coffee comes in.

This blend brings together the smooth richness of caramel with a subtle touch of salt, creating a sweet-yet-balanced cup that’s indulgent without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of coffee that makes waking up early feel a little easier.

Why it’s perfect for September mornings:

  • Cozy sweetness. Adds warmth to crisp mornings without heavy spices.
  • Pairing power. Goes beautifully with pastries, muffins, or even a simple piece of buttered toast.
  • Mood booster. Starts your day with a flavor that feels like a treat instead of just fuel.

Salted Caramel is ideal for slower mornings or weekends when you have time to sip and savor.

 

 

Breakfast Blend: Bright Energy for Busy Days

On the flip side, some mornings are less about indulgence and more about focus. That’s when our Breakfast Blend steps in.

This roast is lively, bright, and crafted to give you a clean, energizing start without harshness. It’s the cup you reach for before tackling a busy schedule, hitting deadlines, or getting the family out the door.

Why it stands out this season:

  • Smooth strength. Strong enough to wake you up, but never bitter.
  • Balanced brightness. Crisp, refreshing notes that feel perfect for the start of fall.
  • Everyday versatility. Works for a quick commute cup or a second round later in the morning.

The Breakfast Blend is your reliable motivator — the blend that helps you get things done.

 

 

How to Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds

What makes September mornings unique is their variety. Some days call for comfort. Others demand focus. With both Salted Caramel and Breakfast Blend in your pantry, you’re ready for whatever the day brings.

Tips for making the most of your morning coffee ritual:

  1. Match your mood. Choose Salted Caramel when you need a cozy, indulgent start; Breakfast Blend when productivity is key.
  2. Elevate the experience. Pair Salted Caramel with fall pastries or apples, and Breakfast Blend with hearty breakfasts.
  3. Stock up in bulk. With our 80ct, 120ct, and 200ct packs, you’ll never run out during the busiest season.

 

 

Why Choose Day to Day Coffee

At Day to Day Coffee, we believe great coffee should be both accessible and enjoyable. That’s why our pods are:

  • Convenient. Single-serve for quick mornings.
  • Affordable. Larger count packs save you money as the season gets busy.
  • High quality. Roasted and crafted with flavor in mind, so you don’t have to compromise.

September is about finding balance. With our blends, you get coffee that supports your routine while adding a little joy to your mornings.

The start of fall deserves a coffee that makes mornings easier — and better. Whether you’re looking for the sweet comfort of Salted Caramel or the energizing brightness of Breakfast Blend, Day to Day Coffee has you covered.

Because when your first cup feels right, the rest of the day follows.

Top 3 Coffee Flavors to Transition from Summer to Fall

🍃 August feels different—and so should your coffee.

If that’s you, here are three transition coffee flavors from Day to Day Coffee that gently guide you from summer mornings to fall focus—without skipping straight to October.   1. Hazelnut Crème Nutty, smooth, and slightly sweet—hazelnut hits that cozy note without being heavy. It’s perfect for mid-70s mornings and early return-to-office routines. Why it works: Light enough for summer Warm enough for fall Great black or with milk Tip: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a light fall twist.   2. Cinnamon Cookie Sweet, spiced, and comfort-packed, Cinnamon Cookie feels festive without going full pumpkin spice. It’s the perfect middle ground for late August and September. Why it works: Brings cozy flavor without being overpowering. Great iced or hot depending on the day. Naturally pairs with milk or creamer.     3. Colombian Supreme Smooth and balanced, our Colombian Supreme Roast carries a touch of natural richness that feels right in-between seasons. Why it works: Naturally rounded flavor without added sugar. Works hot, iced, or blended with seasonal creamers. Keeps your taste buds interested as the weather changes.   Where These Flavors Are Trending In late August, U.S. orders for “cozy but not spicy” coffee spike in: Seattle, WA – cool mornings call for mellow roasts Denver, CO – seasonal shifts hit early Philadelphia, PA – hazelnut and caramel combos on the rise Chicago, IL – medium roast all day, every day Atlanta, GA – iced vanilla caramel still holding strong   Don’t rush it—sip into fall. You don’t need to jump headfirst into seasonal flavors. With these transition coffee flavors, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—summer smoothness with a touch of fall comfort. Brew them hot, iced, or however your vibe shifts throughout the day.

How to Save Money on Coffee as Your Schedule Gets Busier This Fall

How to Save Money on Coffee as Your Schedule Gets Busier This Fall

Back-to-school. Back to the office. Back to real life. When August fades and September kicks in, coffee consumption goes up across the U.S.—and so does the cost of staying caffeinated. If you're hitting the drive-thru daily or buying fancy beans for your home brewer, the price can creep up fast. But the good news? There are simple ways to save money on coffee without giving up the flavor, energy, or morning ritual you love. Here’s how to do it: 1. Switch to K-Cups (If You Haven’t Already) If you're still buying café lattes or expensive bottled cold brew, K-Cups are an instant budget win. On average: Café iced coffee = $4.50–$6/day K-Cup brew at home = $0.65–$0.85/day Multiply that by 20–25 workdays, and you’re looking at $80–$120 in savings every month. 2. Buy K-Cups in Bulk Larger packs = lower cost per pod. Instead of grabbing a 12-pack at the grocery store, try: 48-count variety boxes 72-count subscriptions Value bundles of your favorite flavor Plus, bulk orders reduce last-minute runs and keep your mornings on track. Smart options: Day to Day Coffee Medium Roast Day to Day Coffee Light Roast Flavored variety packs if you like to mix it up   3. Brew the Right Size Small adjustment, big difference: Brewing at 6 oz. instead of 10 oz. gives you stronger flavor and stretches your pod inventory. Use smaller mugs or pour over ice to make it last longer. Also—skip the “double pod” temptation unless it’s a true must. That habit can double your coffee spend fast.   4. Invest in a Reusable K-Cup (Optional) If you love experimenting with your own grounds or want to cut costs even further, try a reusable K-Cup filter. You: Fill it with any ground coffee. Reuse it again and again. Still brew with the same machine. Perfect if you have leftover beans or want to reduce waste.   5. Stick to Flavors You Actually Finish Impulse-buying new coffee flavors might be fun—but wasting half a box because “that coconut maple weirdly tastes like popcorn” isn't. Instead: Try smaller sampler packs first Share flavor swaps with coworkers or roommates Keep 1–2 reliable staples on hand at all times Your taste buds (and wallet) will thank you.   Real Savings, Real People U.S. customers who switch to K-Cups and follow bulk + brew-size strategies report: Monthly savings of $60–$100 Less waste from undrinkable or unfinished brews More consistent mornings (especially during school season) Cities like Phoenix, Raleigh, Tampa, and Kansas City are leading the way in fall K-Cup stock-ups—and saving big.   Coffee is supposed to be a comfort, not a financial stressor. With the right strategy—bulk buying, smart flavors, and consistent brewing—you can enjoy every sip and keep more money in your pocket. Now that’s how you caffeinate with confidence. Save smart. Brew better.  Get 15% off all budget-friendly K-Cup bundles today.

How to Stock Up on Coffee Before the Fall Rush

How to Stock Up on Coffee Before the Fall Rush

August is the calm before the (pumpkin spice-flavored) storm. Once September rolls in, U.S. mornings get busier, routines get tighter, and your favorite coffee blends tend to go out of stock—fast. Whether you're gearing up for school drop-offs, office meetings, or just cooler weather vibes, now’s the perfect time to stock up on coffee. And trust us—you don’t want to be caffeine-deprived during your first 7 a.m. Zoom of the season.   1. Take Inventory of What You Really Drink Before you buy more, ask yourself: Which flavors do I reach for most? Do I drink more coffee when it's cold out? Am I brewing just for me—or the whole household? Start by making a list of your favorite blends and how many K-Cups you go through weekly. Most U.S. coffee lovers average 1–2 K-Cups per day, which adds up quickly in the fall. 2. Buy Seasonal Staples in Advance Some flavors always spike in demand once the weather cools: French Roast (for early mornings and long workdays) Hazelnut & Salted Caramel (comfort in a cup) Pumpkin Spice & Fall Flavors (limited supply!) Buying now means less scrambling later—and ensures you get the good stuff before it disappears.   3. Go Bulk, Save More Fall is the season of routine, and routine = more coffee. Stocking up on 48- or 72-count boxes now saves you: Time (no emergency grocery runs) Money (bulk = better price per pod) Stress (nothing worse than waking up to an empty box) We recommend: Day to Day Coffee Medium Roast Day to Day Coffee Light Roast Flavored variety packs if you like to mix it up   4. Don’t Forget Office & Remote Setups Back-to-office traffic is real this time of year—and remote workers are also doubling down on their home brewers. If you work from home (or manage a team), stocking up early can prevent mid-month chaos. Popular for work setups: Breakfast Blend K-Cups Dark Roast + Oat Milk combos Single-serve flavored packs for team variety U.S. Regions Where Coffee Stock-Ups Spike in August Based on order trends, these cities see the biggest pre-fall coffee stock-ups: Minneapolis, MN – cold mornings start early. Columbus, OH – back-to-school season drives demand. Denver, CO – high-altitude chill hits faster. Charlotte, NC – big shift to early office starts. Salt Lake City, UT – rising K-Cup orders before Labor Day. Stock Up Now, Sip Stress-Free Later The fall rush is real—but it doesn’t have to take your coffee supply down with it. By planning ahead now, you can skip the shortages, avoid the panic buys, and stay caffeinated from day one of September. Trust us: future you will thank you! Don’t let the fall rush catch you off guard. Shop your go-to K-Cups now and get 15% off.
