I appreciate Dunkin quite a bit more than Starbucks... But I usually drink Starbucks because they're everywhere (at least in my neighborhood).

Annnnnnnnd, FIGHT! :mrgreen:

    Can DUnkin Donuts really be considered national? They are only in 36 States.

    Usually I don't care, but it's pretty trashy for one company to rip on another company.

    So Dunkin loses points.

    Stumptown
    Dutch Bros
    Peet's
    World Market

    all are better than Starbucks/DD.

    DD medium roast is very decent. Starbucks Sumatra is good, too. But Illy is the best. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for.

    Got any a suggestions, then? I see you posted twice and just said what you thought sucks. Espresso and coffee choices, mr. expert, please.

    DD for sure.

    Tim Hortons coffee is the bomb though.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    The only truth I know is you.

    Dunkins is some weak ass shit vs. Bucks (as sucky as that is to write)

    Starbuck's is too bitter, DD and Hortens are way too weak. McDonald's is actually ok, once you've let it cool off for about an hour.

    DD is great made at home
  • drivingrldrivingrl Posts: 1,448
    If I had to choose: Starbucks. Only because DD doesn't carry soy or almond milk. My sissy digestive system can't handle moo juice. :(

    But nothing is better than the coffee I mix up at home:

    There are no DD in my area, I would like to try a cup before I commit to buy a bag o beans.

    I prefer:
    Stumptown
    Cafe Ladro-they source and roast their own beans.
    Starbucks-but I usually don't even get coffee from them if i go there.

    My question is, does DD have Fair Trade beans?
