Coffee & Waffles: A Match Made in Morning Heaven

Posted on August 12, 2025

There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with golden, crispy waffles. It’s a comfort pairing that works for lazy mornings, brunch with friends, or as a decadent dessert treat.

At Coffee Capsules Direct, we make it easy to elevate this experience. With our wide range of Nespresso®-compatible and Dolce Gusto®-compatible coffee pods, plus a delightful selection of coffee syrups, you can whip up café-style creations without leaving your kitchen.

Coffee-Infused Waffles with Flavoured Syrup Drizzle

Ingredients (makes 10 waffles):

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 1½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1½ cups milk (or milk alternative of your choice)

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ⅓ cup oil

  • 1 tbsp Douwe Egberts Gold

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Non-stick spray for waffle iron

  • 2–3 tbsp Nettari Syrup for serving (any one you prefer)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle maker and lightly coat with non-stick spray.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, oil, instant coffee, and vanilla until combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until no dry spots remain—do not overmix.

  5. Ladle batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden (about 4–5 minutes).

  6. Serve warm, drizzling generously with your chosen Nettari syrup.

  7. Optional: Add fresh berries and smooth cottage cheese to make this a well-balanced breakfast
