I would not deal with a food service outlet where the employees do not have working opposable thumbs.

Where do you go that puts the sugar in the coffee for you?

Dunkin Donuts does that, just ask for a regular and they put the cream and sugar in. It's the only place I will buy a coffee and only when I'm too rushed to make my own at home. I'll even buy a pound of their ground coffee once in a while. IMHO Dunkin Donuts beats Starbucks hands down!

And their donuts are way better than Krispy Kreme.

If we didn't already know that you live in New England, we would now.

Yup, and proud of it! Actually, Krispy Kreme is really just starting to make it's presence known in these parts. There's almost as many Dunkin Donuts as there are McDonalds (whose coffee sucks IMO) around NE.

My opinion of Krispy Kremes donuts is based on their use of some kind of frosting filling in their Boston cream donuts, my personal favorite. Dunkin Donuts makes a real Boston cream with a pudding type filling, ya just can't beat them!

Krispy Kremes have too much fat to eat an entire donut and they're too sweet. Damn things will make you sick.

Dunkin' Donuts, on the other hand, are just right to enjoy a couple: one to munch and one to dunk. The dense chocolate cake donuts are supreme with a cup of coffee on a cold, rainy morning.

Dunkin' Donuts and Ma's donuts are the two main places I'd go for coffee, and all of the employees are dumb teenagers who don't want to be there. I hate starbucks coffee and most other coffee places. I only like medium brewed arabica coffee or Maxwell house Master Blend. No french roast, no flavors...
I don't go anywhere for the service, I go if I like the product. I have given up on finding decent customer service in grocery stores, coffee shops, walmart, petco, basically anywhere where the employees are making minimum wage, I'm getting minimum service.

I'm surprised I haven't posted to this thread yet...

I used to drink a lot of coffee, but pulled myself off caffeine for the most part almost 2 years ago. Now, I don't drink that much coffee, and haven't had coffee with caffeine in almost a year.

Among my favorite coffee places: Starbucks, Cosi, Corner Bakery, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme.

Among my favorite store-bought/mail order coffees: Starbucks, Chock Full o' Nuts, Millstone, Gevalia.

On occasion, I like the following items in my coffee: vanilla, Irish cream or hazelnut flavoring; Bailey's or Kahlua. I generally drink it black, no sugar.

Fair trade coffee from the Co-op filtered into specially bought wide-mouthed, large mug, add cold semi-skimmed milk, take two in the mornings. (i.e. "skip the jug, filter straight to the mug" (sm wanna write a tune for that jingle?)).
I've had the same method, filter-cone and habit for almost thirty years now, but I'm on my fourth mug (anyone who want to cross refer this to the strange habits thread please feel free to do so).
For the rest of the day, I used to do lots of instant coffee, now I hardly do any, and when I do it's usually at work.

*cheers*
Encouragingly I'm starting to think it's harder to buy a non-Fair Trade cup of coffee in London than it is to buy Fair Trade.

I'll take Krispy Kreme over Dunkin Donuts anyday...you can't beat their glazed donuts.

BrianR · 01-17-2005, 02:18 PM

Seconded...Here in Baltimore, DD sucks rocks and KKs are twenty minutes away...I drive for the good stuff. MMMMMM! Warm fresh glazed donuts!

You nasty. If you ever feel like not eating them ever again, simply witness the glazing process from behind the protective glass...

This is exactly WHY I go there, to get one warm straight out of the oil and off the glazing belt...

They have popped up all over here in Iowa in the last 2-3 years. If you actually go in the store when they have the "Hot Donuts Now" sign lit, you can get a free one! Heaven....
