Is it a little early to be talking about pumpkin spice lattes? We don’t think so.
Despite the sun still shining in the sky though, Greggs grabbed headlines when it confirmed that the cult-classic coffee drink would be making a return to branches of the bakery chain up and down the country from this week, and Starbucks has also teased that its version will be available soon.
A whole host of other chains and independent cafes brew up their take on the seasonal coffee drink each year too.
And now, one company is looking to pay someone to test them all out.
If you were already planning on spending the colder months sipping away on a pumpkin spice latte, then how about getting paid for drinking them while you’re at it?
Clothing brand Pour Moi is hiring an official ‘Pumpkin Spice Latte Tester’ to test all the seasonal drinks available at popular coffee chains, and decide once and for all, which one will be crowned the best of the best.
The successful applicant will receive a payment of £300, plus a budget to spend on the Pumpkin Spice Lattes and other autumnal drinks.
So, what will the job actually require then? Well, the Pumpkin Spice Latte Tester will be asked to rate and review each of the coffees to reveal which ones give the best autumnal vibes from the first sip, and after trying each spiced coffee, they will then give each one a score based on various factors – sweetness levels, flavour, cosiness, smell, and added bonuses like cream, sprinkles, gingerbread etc.
The job requirements for the role are having a solid enthusiasm for autumn, a penchant for pumpkins, and the ability to get to and from a range of different coffee shops.
You’ll also need to have lots of experience in drinking pumpkin spice lattes.
“Despite the hot summer we have all faced, there are still fall fanatics who cannot wait for their autumn wardrobes to make a return,” said Maria Ryan – Sales and Marketing Director from Pour Moi.
“Because so many of our customers talk about how much they love everything about this cosy season, we wanted to do something that ensures they have the best start to their favourite season, so by hiring a Pumpkin Spice Latte Tester, we can help all fall-lovers tell the gourd from the bad when it comes to the limited-edition seasonal coffees on offer this year.
“It means everybody can relax with a hot drink knowing they will feel autumnal from the first sip.”
