Weighing in on new coffee choices

With McDonald’s throwing it’s hat in the “coffee ring,” I think things are going to get better for us coffee drinkers.

The competition is a good thing. I expect Starbucks and the other highfalutin coffee joints to get more affordable for us cheapskates.

McDonald’s has reeled me in on two occasions now. One with a free coffee coupon and the other with an iced coffee billboard. The free cup of coffee didn’t seem that spectacular to me. It was a dark roast, which I like, but the cool, insulated cup leaked on the bottom. Yes, the bottom. The iced hazelnut coffee wasn’t that bad. It could’ve been a little sweeter. Seemed like a pretty good value — a larger than expected cup for $2.00.

My beloved QuikTrip is the “team to beat” in this competition, IMO. I can make it how I want and can mix it up whenever I feel like it — and it’s the cheapest and fastest.

Anyone like to weigh in? What’s so special about Dunkin’ Donuts coffee anyway? Anyone tried Caribou Coffee?

    What’s so special about dunkin’ donuts? It’s just really good. Not too much more too it than that. But combine it with an old-fashioned coffee donut (known to some as the “plain” donut) and you have yourself a winning combination.
    I miss it a lot, but it was so nice to find one down in Branson this weekend.
