Spiced Sweet Mexican Coffee recipe from Pati's Mexican Table Season 3, Episode 10 “Brunch at the Jinich House”
Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 6 tablespoons coarsely ground dark-roasted coffee beans
- 8 tablespoons grated or finely chopped piloncillo or dark brown sugar, or to taste
- 1 ceylon or true cinnamon stick
To Prepare
- Bring the water to a rolling boil in a pot. Reduce the heat to low and add the coffee, piloncillo and cinnamon stick. Simmer partially covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and serve. Alternatively, remove the cinnamon stick and pour the drink into a French press; press down on the plunger and serve.

I love watching your show for the history of Mexican cuisine, your family dynamic, and the recipes! This is the first recipe that I’ve tried and it is great! I will definitely try more!
I super happy to hear that Yajaira!
Do you percolate the coffee in a basket it just put the ground coffee, cinnamon stick and sugar in the stove top coffee pot without the basket?
Thank you so much
Put the ground coffee in the pot and strain after boiling! =) Let me know how it turns out!
I have never seen the show, just late night googling recipes I wanted to try. After finding your site you better believe you have a new viewer. Thank you from Chef Burgin!
Oh! Happy you found me on your internet search!

Hi Pati,
First, I have to say thank you for the wonderful world you have introduced me, and many others to. Second, I found a small shortcut for this amazing coffee; only because I am addicted to my “pre-set” time option for brewing coffee on my coffee maker. I add the canela and piloncillo to the pot of my Mr Coffee and when it brews (I have to set the time for 5:30 a.m. oy!) it (almost) makes an instant Spiced Sweet Mexican coffee. It isn’t quite as good as using the traditional method, but it is a close second, and a fabulous thing to wake up to. I spoil myself by doing the traditional method on weekends. Thanks again!!!
p.s. I am making shrimp cocktail pacifico tomorrow for my “stereotypical” beef and potato eating, mid-western neighbors…they will see the error in their ways after eating that yummy dish. 🙂
Hey Patti! We adore using your wonderful recipes here at our ministry ranch! My husband loves to cook mexican and you have inspired some new ideas! We are trying your french toast for Easter! Can’t wait!!! God’s blessings to you and your family.
Lee and Dan
Thanks for your message, Lee! So happy to hear
Hi Pati, do you put the coffee beans in the press? I don’t have one, but will get one to try this. So you leave the beans kind of chunky? Grind them in a spice blender? Thank you.
Hola Patty, Yes, grind the beans in spice grinder.
We love your show and recipes.
Thank you for tuning in!
I love the show, it’s unique and fun, can the coffe be made in a French press coffee pot?
Thanks, Wanda! Yes it can, absolutely. Once it has simmered, remove the cinnamon stick, pour onto coffee press, and press on…
I enjoy your show, and you make cooking Mexican very easy. Thank you
Thank YOU for watching, Teresa!
