They're just responding to yesterday's Starbuck's "Free Coffee Day." It's not worth waiting in line for half an hour for a free $2.00 iced coffee.
I wish Dunkin' Donuts would stop billing everything as "premium." At best, everything at DD is mediocre..and it seems really expensive for what you get. At least at Starbucks you get good coffee, some atmosphere and the illusion that you're better than everyone else. DD makes me feel about as special as Wal-Mart.
Just my opinion..YMMV.
@dwayne_dibbly: HA HAH HAHAHAHAH Starbucks? GOOD?
Starbucks is the most overpriced cup of BAD coffee out there. They use much poorer grade beans and burn the living hell out of them to cover up the fact they use mostly robusta beans with some poor grade (and typically stale) arabican mixed in.
While D&D I woudln't consider "good" coffee, they at least use good grade beans that are typically roasted right, tending toward the lighter side which most people prefer. Funny enough McD ALSO now has decent coffee, though its really a store by store basis as I have had 3 decent cups and one sludge cup from them from various stores.
But if you want REAL coffee, go hunt down your area's indie coffee shop. They will have good beans, less than 2-3 days old, with properly calibrated machines, and a staff who actually KNOWS how to make coffee and not how to hit automatic.
Still I would drink D&D before ever touching a Starbucks drink.
@Falconfire: Well, like I said, YMMV. I personally don't care for DD coffee and feel the same way about that as you do about Starbucks. Each to their own.
I've had DD regular coffee, and I don't find it any better than what I can make in my Mr. Coffee. Everybody seems to rave about it and although it's certainly drinkable, I can't figure out why anyone would get that excited over it.
I've had Tim Horton's too...eh..not really impressed with that either, although I like the Tim's that I make at home better than what I get in a Tim's shop.
I've had McDonald's "Newman's Own" iced coffee, and I thought that was excellent.
I haven't had DD coffee in a long time, but I do still remember it as being scaldingly hot (my tongue has that burned feeling for about two days) brown coffee-flavored water. It was awful.
Falconfire, I know a lot of people like you and you guys get old really fast. I will freely admit that at times I have had better coffee at an indie shop than at a given Starbucks on a given day, but for the most part (the vastly most part) Starbucks' coffee is not the toxic acrid sludge you make it out to be. I know part of it is trend, but would the bajillions of people who go to Starbucks really go there day after day if the coffee was so awful? True, some of those people probably never get actual plain coffee, but many do, and many do know what a good cup of coffee tastes like.
I bet if someone bought coffee from Starbucks and poured it into a cup from Alternative Indie Hippie Coffee Shop #72 and gave it to you, you'd never suspect it came from the big green monster.
Anyway, whatever...I can't even drink any kind of coffee anymore, damn acid reflux. When will these places do a "Free Tea Day"??







Dunkin Donuts is disgusting at any temperature, IMO. But whatever works!
