Dunkin Donuts is CRAP!!! and they never get your order right!!

It must have been a bunch of dumb trailer trash hoes in the taste tests! To them DD is a 5 star restaurant!

At least they speak ENGLISH at Starbucks!!! Or did we forget that THIS IS AMERICA...learn English or get the heck out!

wooo....looks like i got up on the wrong side of the bed! sorry!

I totally agree with you! I love Dunkin's coffee! I am especially fond of their iced coffee. I do buy the beans and grind them at home! Best coffee EVER!!!

Both are swill as far as I'm concerned.
What's the point of spending the extra money for "takeout" when I can brew a good cup at home?

McDonald's blend is better than both Dunkin and Starbucks!

I agree. Keep in mind many americans are used to, and satisfied with, relatively bland flavors and general mediocrity when it comes to food. Most of the people who I've met that prefer Dunkin Donuts say Starbucks is too strong for them. Quite simply, they have whimpy taste buds.

Re: Jeff thinking people have wimpy taste buds. You couldn't be further from the truth! Starbucks over-roasts as routine. There is a difference between a strong cup of coffee and burning every variety of bean to the point where its qualities are no longer recognizable.

I've had coffee in Europe and I've had coffee at Starbucks and another national chain, never tried Dunkin, but I don't live in a Dunkin region. You don't have to burn a dark roast to have it taste like a bold coffee. Starbucks coffees have no subtlety or nuance whatsoever. It's not where people who truly like coffee go to experience good coffee. Starbucks is where people go to get the blended drinks. When you're adding sugar syrup and creams and what-have-ya, you don't have to taste the coffee so much. And Starbuck's sales reflect this - they sell more blended drinks than they do of their brewed coffee. Period.

Starbucks coffee is like rocket fuel. It is a good way to keep you going. Every now and then I splurge for a Misto Red Eye. Makes you sweat and revs you up at the same time. What people don't understand is that Starbucks has a standard when it makes its coffee. No matter where you go, that cup will taste the same.

Though DD's coffee is cheaper, they don't have a standard way of making it. Some places the coffee is spectacular. In others, DD's coffee is virtually undrinkable. I know. I have NEVER thrown out a cup of Starbucks, even when cold. I HAVE thrown out DD's on occasion.

Now aren't YOU the typical snob! Coffee, like anything else, is subject, any one person's particular taste. By that I mean, there is no right or wrong answer except for which coffee is more reasonably priced. But as you suggested that anyone that prefers DD need psychological help is just plain wrong. Yes, you probably said it tongue in cheek but this Dunkin' Donut coffee drinker doesn't appreciate the rudeness behind your statement.

Well, maybe you should have re-phrased. I got that you prefer DD coffee, others think you were slamming it. Me, I'm a serious coffee adict, I will occationally get a SB latte, have tried a DD iced coffee (poured it out) and prefer my Wal-Mart brand french roast I make at home. And I've tried other french roasts that are more expensive, and didn't like them as well.

Lynn,

Really I think it is two different kinds of tastes. I also think that at least in Brooklyn,NY where I live and work there is not much of a difference in price. What I am shocked about is how much my local 7-11 is now charging.

If you want really, really good coffee, log on to koffeeklatsch.com - business predates Starbucks by many, many years.

I agree w/you! McD & DD are my favorite!!
