# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but comes together faster than your usual coffee run.
  • The espresso and pumpkin create a sophisticated breakfast that doesn't feel like something you made at dawn.
  • It works beautifully whether you're cooking for yourself or impressing someone at your table.
02 -
  • Don't walk away from the stove during cooking; the pumpkin thickens faster than you'd think and can catch at the bottom.
  • If your oats look too thick before serving, loosen them with a splash of warm milk—they'll continue thickening slightly as they cool.
03 -
  • Brew your coffee or pull your espresso shot right before you start cooking so it's hot and strong when it hits the pan.
  • The difference between good and great here is stirring consistently throughout—it distributes the pumpkin evenly and prevents any scorching at the bottom.
