Dunkin Donuts coffee

[Micca]

The cinnamon DD coffee I bought at the grocery store smelled so good, but it made be nauseated. I saw some of the DD coffee beans (unflavored) and ground those at home and thought it was good. I have since gone back to purchasing Starbuck's coffee and grind it at home.

I never had it from home from DD beans, however, I do prefer it over Starbucks. Which is ironic since right next to where I work is a Starbucks. But to me, thier coffee is just, burnt and bitter and ugh. And also wayy overpriced. The best coffee to me is the cheapest stuff I can find usually. Never quite understood that, but the less the coffee costs, the more I tend to like it *shrugs*

Tuesday morning Coffee Update!

I ground more beans and brewed it again, but made it a lot stronger (more coffee) - it's much better.

The ground beans still have this weird smell though... not bad, but just not a great smell. I don't know

I think I will buy a different kind of coffee and keep this for backup.

LOVE DD coffee!

I buy it ground already from my local DD cause it's much cheaper than the (smaller) bags the grocery stores sell. I've never tried those ones. Could be different since it has to sit on a grocery store shelf for who knows how long?

THere is almost no way to get your home DD coffee to taste the same as the DD coffee at the DD shop unless you can get a hold of one of their machines!

Their coffee is measured and the water is SO hot.

I worked at DD for 13 years total.

I am a DD coffee fan. We have bought the blend at the store to try at home but it's not the same. I think your coffee maker has a lot to do with it. I do not have a professional grade maker at home. My Mr. Coffee simply isn't going to be able to duplicate what I can get at DD.

Has anyone tried to make it stronger and add the shell of one egg into the grounds. The shell takes the bitter/overly strong flavor away. Mellows it.

We love dunkin and stop there alot. I finally got my husband to stop going to starbucks. I can't stand the bitterness of it. We buy the grounds at the local store and have found we need an extra 1/2 scoop per pot.

*Use only fresh coffee. Once the coffee package is opened, ground coffee will remain fresh for about 7 days, while whole bean coffee will remain fresh for up to 20 days.
*Grind your coffee just before brewing; pre-grinding may cause your coffee to taste stale. The grind level should match your coffee brewer or individual taste. Fine grind coffee yields a stronger flavor, while course grind will yield a weaker flavor.
*Clean your coffee brewer and carafe of any coffee residue or oils from the previous brewing.
*Always use fresh, cold water for brewing coffee.
*Never allow your coffee to sit on the burner for more than 20 minutes. Continued cooking will change the flavor and aroma attributes, resulting in burnt, bitter, or harsh flavors.
*Never reheat your coffee. Use a thermal carafe or insulated mug if you plan on holding your hot coffee for more than 20 minutes.
*Keep coffee beans at room temperature. If coffee beans are stored in the refrigerator or freezer, they absorb food odors and condensation and the flavor of the coffee won't be up to par.
*Store any unused coffee in a cool dry place, away from heat or sunlight, and not in the refrigerator or freezer. Coffee will absorb flavor and aroma attributes from the other foods, thus it is recommended that coffee be stored in an air-tight container that is not see-through.

The main key to their coffee is their coffee maker that can get the cold water VERY hot (200 degrees). I want a Bunn coffee maker!
