Throw in a jelly donut and I\u2019m all yours.I love that Dunkin grinds and brews high-quality 100% Arabica beans around the clock. You\u2019ve never had a stale cup of coffee from Dunkin because they sell 60 cups a second. That\u2019s about 2 billion cups every year. At that volume, you\u2019ve got to have a constant flow of fresh bean juice.Check it out \u2013 Dunkin is pretty heavy on our favorite wake-up chemical. A large cup has 210 mg of caffeine. That\u2019s more than McDonald\u2019s or Starbucks.Like to customize? You can pick from 6 different dairy options. Dunkin has tons of flavors available to customize your coffee just how you like it.I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a better cup of coffee available as fast and as consistently as \u201cAmerica\u2019s favorite cup.\u201d2 \u2013 Dunkin Bottled Iced CoffeeTo create the recipe for their bottled iced coffee drinks, Dunkin got a bunch of coffee experts together. They tasted 200 cups a day to perfect the taste, texture, mouthfeel, and a bunch of other minor factors.The result is a delicious and relatively inexpensive convenience coffee drink with more caffeine and protein than a Frappuccino.Our favorites in our home are Dunkin Original and Dunkin Mocha. We have trouble keeping the bottles on the shelves. It\u2019s so easy to skip the drip pot, French press, and K-cup machine and just grab one of these and go.Check out this blind taste test at Mic.com – Starbucks has nothing on Dunkin.3 \u2013 Cold BrewThere\u2019s a sort of cult that\u2019s grown up around Dunkin Cold Brew.Sure, you can make cold coffee at home. It takes forever and there’s no guarantee you’ll get it right. At Dunkin, you don’t have those concerns.Dunkin makes their Cold Brew in small batches. They use a unique blend of 100% Arabica beans from their traditional brewed coffee. They steep the beans overnight in cold water.What comes out is an ultra-smooth low-acid coffee with huge flavors and aromas. Notes of chocolate pop out of the brew.People who can\u2019t take the acidic quality of some gourmet brews should check this stuff out.One of the reasons for the hubbub about Dunkin Cold Brew is its scarcity. Each Dunkin store has a limited amount available every day. You can\u2019t say that about any other Dunkin coffee drink.Another reason people love it is the high caffeine content. You\u2019re looking at 350 mg of caffeine in a large Cold Brew. That\u2019s about 33% more than in a large Dunkin hot coffee.If you get to Dunkin early enough, you should try their Cold Brew if for no other reason than that it\u2019s available in a limited supply.I think you\u2019ll like it as much as my generally coffee-adverse wife.4 \u2013 AmericanoA good Americano is simple.Take a couple of shots of fresh-brewed espresso and toss them in a cup. Add enough near-boiling water to suit your taste. Enjoy.The Americano was originally an attempt by baristas in Europe to produce a cup of coffee familiar to Americans. We uncultured Americans preferred a big steaming cup of mildly strong coffee. European baristas were more used to slinging tiny cups of high-octane espresso.Dunkin nails the Americano. They don\u2019t do anything fancy. They take two shots of their espresso and add it to water that\u2019s almost at a boil.Voila!, a perfect Americano.I have to admit that this is probably my favorite drink at Dunkin besides the original hot coffee. It has loads of caffeine, and you can add whatever you want to it.5 \u2013 EspressoThis is a relatively recent addition to Dunkin\u2019s menu. It\u2019s a welcome one.There\u2019s no need to argue about it – Dunkin\u2019s espresso is great.Dunkin serves their espresso with a nice crema, something you can\u2019t always say about their competitors. It has a lovely body \u2013 it just feels right in your mouth. With an aggressive flavor profile and a very deep roast, this is not an espresso for the weak.Grub Street had some experts review Dunkin and Starbucks on their espresso alone, and Dunkin won (but just barely). Check it out here.6 \u2013 Signature Latte Dunkin\u2019s espresso is roasted a bit longer than other espresso beans in the industry.That isn\u2019t to everyone\u2019s taste. I like it, for example, but nobody else in my family can drink it all on its own.When a rich and robust espresso mixes with warm and frothy milk and gets topped with whipped cream and toppings, I don\u2019t think anyone will notice.This is a great coffee drink for people who like elaborate presentations and dessert-like ingredients. It\u2019s not to my taste. Give me the espresso straight.But remember, people enjoy and experience coffee differently, and that\u2019s a good thing.Right now, you can get a Signature Latte in two flavors \u2013 Caramel Craze and Cocoa Mocha.7 \u2013 Dunkin Midnight Dark Roast K-Cup Pods Dunkin is still making moves into the retail space. I\u2019m seeing more Dunkin products on the shelves. I think that\u2019s a good thing.These are my favorite of all the Dunkin K-Cup products we\u2019ve tried.Here\u2019s why I like it:First, the roast is as dark as any product in Dunkin\u2019s line, outside of maybe the espresso. In fact, the aromas and flavors of the espresso shot I had this morning matched pretty well with what you\u2019ll get out of this K-Cup.Second, the beans are premium-grade and 100% Arabica. The quality is high.Finally, there’s the K-cup convenience. As easy as it is to drive through a Dunkin, popping a K-cup in the machine and grabbing the cup on my way out the door is easier.You can find them in boxes of 10 and 22.8 \u2013 CappuccinoFor a while in the late 90s, every restaurant started serving cappuccinos. To Americans, discovering an entire coffee community and industry for the first time, a cappuccino was a status symbol.These days, the status symbol drink is a Starbucks latte.They can keep their status symbol. I prefer a thick and foamy cappuccino to a latte any day.Dunkin\u2019s Cappuccino does the three things I\u2019m looking for in this classic coffee drink:It\u2019s blended with steamed milk, as it should be.It contains a thick layer of creamy foam at the top, which is vital.It has a deep espresso taste, with notes of dark chocolate and burnt sugar.The caffeine content is high but not as bad as some of Dunkin\u2019s other drinks. It averages about 250 mg for a large size cup.9 \u2013 Frozen CoffeeI only need to say one thing about Dunkin\u2019s Frozen Coffee:It\u2019s a coffee milkshake.If that interests you, you\u2019ll love the creaminess of it. You\u2019ll love how the frozen coffee melts in your mouth and the flavors spread across your tongue.If the idea of a coffee milkshake runs counter to your interests, you won\u2019t like this one.You can order an Original (coffee flavor) or go for one of 5 flavor additions, like Caramel Swirl and French Vanilla.10 \u2013 Ground Dunkin Hazelnut Packaged CoffeeI\u2019ll admit it \u2013 nobody in our house regularly drinks flavored coffees. But we keep packaged flavored coffees around for guests.Dunkin\u2019s Ground Hazelnut packaged coffee is always a hit. Hazelnut is a crowd-pleasing flavor. The aroma of it is strong, which is nice when company comes over.Dunkin\u2019s ground coffees are a multinational affair. Beans from eight different countries make their way into the mix.The blend is meant to be clean, medium-bodied, with a slight acidity. In other words, it\u2019s a breakfast blend.I\u2019d describe the roast as perfectly medium. Some people may prefer a slightly lighter roast in the morning, both for the higher caffeine content and brighter flavors and aromas.Conclusion: Best Coffees to Try at DunkinDunkin has dedicated customers.The company is a constant presence on the Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Leaders List.For many people (myself included) stopping at Dunkin is part of some ritual.My dad made Dunkin part of his drive to work. I have a special Dunkin restaurant that I always stop at for a snack with my son on the way to see his grandma. My wife uses Dunkin as a pick-me-up after work.Dunkin has 8,500 restaurants in 41 US states, and another 3,200 stores in other countries. Surely there\u2019s one near you.One of the 10 best coffees to try at Dunkin I’ve listed on this page will meet whatever coffee needs you have."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"10 Best Coffees to Try at Dunkin (Drinks; Packaged Coffees)","item":"https:\/\/www.wizardofcoffee.com\/best-dunkin-coffee\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
