Dunkin Donuts Coffee - The American diet. When you hear those three little words, what comes to mind For me it’s fast food for lunch, because everyone is in a big rush and convenience is all that matters. For dinner it’s take-out from the Chinese place down the street or maybe a pizza from Domino’s. Oh, and then there’s breakfast. This consists of a jelly-filled Bizmark and an extra large cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. Does that all sound about right to you Wow; that’s a lot of fat! Certainly more than anyone’s daily recommended allowance. We Americans really have to do something about all the foul things we consume. It’s killing us!
So there I was, picking up my daughter from an orthodontist appointment. She had just had her braces tightened, and for some reason she still wanted junk food. She pointed out the Dunkin Donuts right next to the orthodontist. Now why would they put that place right next to a business that specializes in making teeth look great Go figure. Naturally we had to go in and get a box of donut holes.
So we did and I discovered Dunkin Donuts coffee in the process. I had never tried their specialty coffee drinks before, but they looked pretty darn sweet. I believe it was some sort of mocha shake frapuccino thing I ordered. Then we were out the door. As I wrapped my lips around the straw, I didn’t give it much thought. But when the Dunkin Donuts coffee hit my mouth, I cringed. This stuff was like sludge. It was way too sugary and rich. I can’t believe some of the stuff they call coffee now days. I only tried it because my mother had told me that she likes Dunkin Donuts coffee, but I’m sure she was referring to plain old drip-pot brew. Not this new-age concoction.
It can be a challenge finding a great cup of java these days. In all honesty, I can’t recommend Dunkin Donuts coffee based on my single experience. Most caffeinated beverages I’ve tasted in my day are better than that one. So if you’re looking for a quick java fix, but don’t know where to go; let me make it simple for you. Just head through a Starbuck’s drive-thru. Let’s leave the coffee making to the coffee people.
