How to Make Creamy Peanut Butter Coffee at Home
Peanuts originated in South America, likely Peru or Brazil, where they were used by the Incas as early as 1500 B.C. European explorers introduced peanuts to Spain, leading to their spread to Africa and North America in the 1700s. By the early 1800s, peanuts were cultivated commercially in the U.S., initially viewed as food for livestock and the poor.

Their popularity surged after the Civil War when soldiers found them appealing. Street vendors sold roasted peanuts, and they became a staple at baseball games. Innovations in harvesting technology in the early 1900s increased production, particularly for peanut butter, candy, and oil.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg created a version of peanut butter in 1895, which gained widespread popularity when introduced at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Peanut butter became a crucial part of military rations during both World Wars, contributing to the famous peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Today, peanuts are a major cash crop in the U.S., with Americans consuming over 7.9 pounds of peanut products annually, half of which is peanut butter, generating $850 million in retail sales each year.
Peanuts are enjoyed in various forms, particularly roasted and in confectionery, and peanut oil is valued for its cooking properties.


While browsing Instagram, I came across this video. It happens to be the same espresso machine I use. Then I followed this recipe and made peanut butter coffee. Peanuts and butter make latte smoother and richer. Suddenly drive away the cold brought by winter.

Here is my tips for the your Perfect Cup:
  • Use high-quality espresso: The better your espresso, the better your coffee will taste.
  • Experiment with peanut butter: Try different types of peanut butter, like creamy, crunchy, or even flavored ones.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste: Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more if needed.
  • Froth your milk: For a truly decadent experience, use a milk frother to create a layer of creamy foam.
