Dunkin Donuts And McDonald's Try To Steal Starbucks' Business Today With Cheap And Free Coffee

By consumerist.com February 26, 2008

In order to capitalize on all Starbucks being closed today for retraining, Dunkin Donuts is selling $.99 espressos today from 1 to 10pm. And if you’re lucky enough to live in Chicago, they’re giving away free small lattes. Not to be outdone, Houston area McDonald’s are giving away free medium iced coffees from 5-9pm, precisely when all Starbucks will be shut down nationwide. Too bad all three chains taste like crap.

    Why exert myself making a case, when you’re going so far out of your way to make it for me?

    How is coffee this important? For shit sakes, people…go feed the homeless or teach an illiterate person to read.

    Dunkin Donuts coffee is delicious, but for Chicago locals I recommend Intelligentsia.

    @Dooley: if that’s the stuff they pick out if civet cat feces you couldn’t pay me to drink it.

    Personally I home brew the coffee. Dunkin tends to be like drinking a candy bar, never had mc donalds coffee recently enough to actually have an informed opinion there. And starbucks is overpriced for regular coffee.

    Though for the beans, it’s green mountain all they way. I’m a sucker for free trade organic coffee. Plus it’s consistenly the best brand I’ve had.
