How to Enjoy Coffee + Book Pairings

There’s something special about reading a good book with the perfect cup of coffee. It’s a small pleasure that can turn into a favorite part of your day. Here’s a simple way to start:

Step 1: Pick Your Book

Choose a book you’re in the mood for—no pressure. A dark classic might go well with a bold roast. A light romance or comedy? Try something smooth or fruity. I like a strong espresso with a good mystery.

Step 2: Choose Your Coffee

Match the mood of the book. If it’s deep and thought-provoking, go for a rich, full-bodied brew. If it’s fun or casual, a cold brew or mellow blend works great. Trust your taste.

Step 3: Set the Scene

Find a quiet spot, pour your coffee, and settle in. Add a blanket, soft lighting, or anything else that makes it feel right. Comfort is key.

Step 4: Make It Yours

There’s no perfect formula. Try different combos until something clicks. It’s okay to switch it up or get it wrong—this is about what feels good to you.

Step 5: Share the Joy

Talk about your pairings with friends or post them online. It’s a fun way to discover new books and brews from other readers.
