When we bought the K-cups for it we didn't buy the Keurig brand or Green
Mountain. Dunkin' Donuts sells their coffee in K-cups and that's what
we'd get.

Dunkin' Donuts used to advertise that their coffee was a
chicory blend. That was in the 70's and 80's.
I still have 3 or 4 of their 12-ounce car mugs from that era.
They came filled with coffee for a buck each during a promo.
Might have been the first car mug I'd seen.
Came with a base you glued to the dashboard. I used it.



The two major coffee houses up here are Dunkin' and Starbucks.
Dunkin' is by far the most popular and their various iced coffee
offerings sell as much as regular, hot coffee even during the winter months.

I don't care for any of the weird concoctions they have. Regular, old
iced coffee, cream and two sugars or just a medium hot black coffee for me.


To me, Starbucks regular coffee just tastes burnt. Maybe it's because it is burnt...


My high school friend owns a custom coffee roasting company. He says the
Starbucks are burnt a touch. Holds up better to all the froufrou
additions.


Starbucks is for people who do not like coffee. Their specialties are
basically a milk shake with a shot of coffee in it.
Some end up being worse than a cheeseburger and fries in calorie
count, fat, carbs etc.
