question for Dunkin Donut coffee drinkers

Have you found some locations make better coffees?
Any time DH picks up coffee for me on the way home, it just isn't good. Lattes are too sweet. Iced coffees with milk just don't seem right - like they are using skim milk, but DH says they push a button for whole milk. When I buy coffee at other Dunkins, I like it and it's pretty consistent.

Yes, it all depends on the person making it.

I only drink it if no other option and I find that more often than not, it's bad.

Re: question for Dunkin Donut coffee drinkers

This is why I prefer Starbucks over Dunkin'. I drink iced drinks, even in the winter. I find Dunkin to generally be too sweet and the coffee to be so bland it takes more like flavored sweet milk. I try to get it with skim so it's not as milky but then it takes like a watered down sweet drink.

One thing Starbucks always gets right are their iced drinks.

This. I taste it before I leave and have them remake it if it's wrong. I once ordered an iced coffee with skim milk. It was a new person in training and whatever she made for me tasted like iced tea!

Yes definitely, I have so many DDs by me and some make it better than others. The same can be said for Starbucks, I've gotten some terrible caramel lattes.

What is wrong with them? Why would they even THINK to do that?
Like who would even ask for or drink that?

Re: question for Dunkin Donut coffee drinkers

Definitely depends on the location/who is making it. The DD that is close to my work is the worst. The coffee always tastes weak and they over do it on the milk. I just have to suck it up sometimes if I'm short for time because they have a drive-thru and a parking lot- not so common in the city Chat Icon

ETA: I find that DD is just as expensive and sometimes MORE expensive than Starbucks anyway.

Re: question for Dunkin Donut coffee drinkers

I used to love dd coffee, now more often than not I'm disappointed. I usually just make my own coffee, but when I want to treat myself I go to starbucks, its more consistent.

Very inconsistent depending on location and person making it. I go to a drive thru by me all the time for convenience. They are awful. Two days ago, they forgot 2/3s of my order! Chat Icon I know to check all the time now but I would've been so angry had I driven away and paid and most of my order not there! On top of asking for my iced coffee darker bc it was basically milk. Sigh

Re: question for Dunkin Donut coffee drinkers

No joke, this one DD by my house makes the BEST coffee, and the DD directly across the street from that one makes the WORST. So yeah, it's true.

I saw a meme or FB post a while back that said, "My Dunkin Donuts coffee goes great with a cigarette, mostly because it tastes like a cigarette." And it's true...I haven't had a good cup of coffee from DD in a long time.

I really wonder why they don't standardize how the coffee is made. You'd think they'd want brand consistency.

I think there is supposed to be a formula- the ones I have been to push a button on a machine to measure the milk. I can't understand why my iced coffee from the one location looks and tastes the way it does. I think they have to be using skim or watering down the coffee or milk.

I don't like their coffee enough to bother but if there are certain locations that are always bad, I would email corporate. I imagine they should care. The coffee shouldn't vary from location to location, I know Starbucks never does.

Their lattes are gross and always taste burnt. They never get a coffee order right. I like Starbucks or 7-11 where I can fix it the way I like it.
