The difference.

Inspired by actual people.

People of modern day society, DUNKIN DONUTS is not a STARBUCKS and we do not
1. Accept guitar music played by a plaid loving modernized hippy as a form of payment(I love hipsters, but no. I am sorry. I have heard enough bad covers of bruno mars's millionaire)

2. Carry a "Grande" ANYTHING

3. Have a high tech temperature controlled coffee dispenser that gives you 5 choices of temperature so that your 6 month old can get their hourly espresso fix. No, instead we simply brew fresh coffee every 15 minutes.

4. Make decorative De VincI level designs in the copious amounts of foam on your venti-skim-hazelnut-10sugar-3splenda-white chocolate-mocha mint- white ice latte lite. Sorry.

Seriously. Starbucks is fine but we are not starbucks. Also, they are called munchkins, no donut holes

Good morning,

I'm still loving my Keurig Special Edition:
https://www.keurig.com/

Got to have my coffee (a splash of Bailey's or McCormick's Irish Cream is nice too)!

Oh how I know. No ordering a mocha ice coffee at D&D, have to say a large coffee with chocolate swirl. LOL.

I'm on a tea kick lately and it's much easier to say "large ice tea please."

I made 3 of those today, ordered as said. You just need to provide the size . Tip to all, ALWAYS order size first. We CANNOT punch in your drink without the size first.

I just wish ya'll bag the hot chocolate! OMG D&D has the BEST hot chocolate! I like mine thick (I like my hot chocolate and sweet tea diabetic-shock sweet!) but don't like that heavy cocoa taste (yes, there's a difference!) so thank you for that! *hugs*

I'm not a fan of coffee either, however I can stomach the caramel macchiato (I honestly don't know what that is but it doesn't taste like coffee)w/extra ... like a lot extra caramel and the creme brulee late but I have yet to notice any effects of coffee so I'll stick to my half-the-price hot chocolate! Too bad there's only like 2 D&D near my job ... way out of the way at that :'(
Kinda funny, I'm now known as the person who went through college without a single cup of coffee! I didn't even look at the stuff til last summer when my volunteer's mom brought a iced thing for me not knowing I didn't drink it. Cant be rude so I tried it

Lol a macchiato is just steamed milk with foam and the smallest hint of espresso. It is barley coffee. We just call them half lattes. Most Espresso drinks only have 1/4-1/2 a cup of espresso at the most. The rest is ice, milk,foam and such. My biggest challenge has been learning the Milk/Foam ratios. Lattes get a lot of milk and a little foam, Cappuccinos get about half and half and so on.

I wish we bagged the hot chocolate too. I mean, we only make Mint and regular but it sells really good. I know we make K-Kups (for single cup coffee makers) for it. We also need to step up our game on ChaI Tea. Right now we only make medium vanilla chaI lattes. I don't like chaI lattes, I prefer just plain chai.

As far as what I drink goes, espresso. Pure espresso. I will normally have 2-4 shots a day plus whatever I add to my drinks. Not many people can handled the stuff I drink, thus I don't worry about it being tended to while I'm not looking.

We have a big coffee culture here in Aus, especially in Melbourne!

Starbucks doesn't rate a mention for those who enjoy a good coffee. Most 'American' coffee is too weak for Australians, and in Italy (most of Europe) too. In Italy, when I ordered a coffee, they asked whether I wanted espresso or American coffee

I didn't go to a D/D when I was in Orlando, so not sure what the offering is.

PS - don't order a latte in Italy - you'll get a glass of warm milk (which I knew before going)

Aus coffee is strong, normally it is just a higher grade bean, close to a espresso if not already. Americans typically don't drink strong coffee, hence the Americano, a coffee mixed with water. Now, the stronger coffee is found here in FL, we get a lot of cuban influence in our coffee and if you have ever had cuban brew, you know what the gods drink. That stuff is WICKED. It also tastes amazing, much better then a regular espresso and twice the strength.

Loved the coffee in Italy! It amazed me that espresso was the norm and was delicious even at the gas stations (hooray Autogrille! lol).

Now I have to get to trying other "kinds" of coffee. I prefer stronger coffees to weak ones. I can't drink Folger's or anything like that because it's much too watery.

I've got news for you, Starbucks doesn't do two of those things. No guitar-playing hipsters, and no decorations in your lattes. Please get your facts straight before slandering an entire company.

Where is the slander and how did I use those 2 things to make the company look bad? This was all said with a very joking manner, everyone else got it.

Soooo ... my brain just melted but ok I'll stick with my "?" face and let my friend order (she likes her coffee directly injected into her vein as she says! sounds like ya'll are similar I'll double check, I think I'm getting her saying mixed up. silly rabbit!)

K-kup .... hot chocolate?????!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT???!?!?!?!?!!? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!? Why wasn't I informed!!! :'( I need a k-kup machine thingy (... k-kup is for keurig right? omg we have one at work! tell meeeeee!!!!!!!!)

I had a Dunkin Donut hot chocolate Keurig cup today at work. Very good!

I'm not a big Keurig fan, but it beats walking half a block down a dark hallway to the kitchen. A scary walk too.

I don't drink any kind of coffee, not even hot chocolate. For you see, I am an extremely energetic young child on a regular basis. The one occasion I broke down and got a coke was one I soon regretted I got sent home due to overwhelming hyperactivity.

I've never tried a Dunkin donuts coffee... but up here in Canada we enjoy TI'm Hortons.

Best coffee I've had was in Hawaii. Not sure what it was but was wonderful!

I love Dunkin Donuts. We have one in the hospital that just opened early this year. They have really good brewed coffee and I was so grateful for it since Starbucks and CBTL are bleeping expensive (unless someone decides to treat me, in which case I am grateful) and McDonalds coffee, while strong enough to wake the dead is kinda sour.

But back to the Dunkin Donut stall... first thing I commented was, "What's with the dinky coffee pot?" The girl behind the counter apologized but said it was standard issue for all small stall types. I guess they underestimated the amount of coffee a big hospital consumes.

Me: Large brewed coffee, please (at 4 in the bleeping afternoon)
Counter Person: I'm sorry, ma'am. We're out of coffee.
Me: *sad forlorn face* okay. I'll just have a Butternut, please.
Owner who happened to be sitting by: We do have hot chocolate.
Me: *staring at owner with a very flat expression* That's not caffeine.

That didn't last long though, I heard the owner telling two doctors lined up that he's getting a new and bigger one with double pots by January. /happy dance

@guppygrl: yeah, I heard TI'm Hortons is like -the- only coffee and pastry shop in Canada and Starbucks couldn't find any leverage to set up shop or something... according to my cousin anyway.

Yes it's big here. We have Starbucks too but too expensive. McDonalds coffee is actually gotten really good here. It's not like it used to be. (mud in a cup! ).

XD. Yeah we don't keep a ton of coffee on hand. 3 pots per station. 2 regular and 1 decaf and only 2 pots at night. We remake the coffee every 15 minutes anyways, always fresh. I don't like machine coffee myself. Espresso is always freshly made per order. Also, can anyone tell me what a Dunuccino is? we have them but I don't drink them.

A Dunkaccino? I think the bottom line of that ingredient list is coffee + hot chocolate + more cream + more sugar
