dunkin
how does dunkin donuts make their coffee so good? I just don't understand. I purchased a pound of delicious hazelnut coffee to give to my dad as a gift from the East coast from my Hartford trip, and I of course popped open the bag of ground goodness. I'm sipping it right now and besides the fact that it isn't scaldingly hot and trying to eat through my tongue with it's boiling temperature, it is the same cup-o-joe. Does the power of dunkin donuts coffee lie in it's scalding temp? i'm baffled. I think I need to return to the east coast and continue my research of the best donut shop coffee.
And, my trip to Hartford was fantastic. Too short, lots of relaxing time. I spent so much time watching sports shows and games that by Sundays, I thinking in sports lingo. I was calculating my actions by odds of my previous actions. Strange but true. And, I have to admit, I'm pretty sure I missed a chance to get to know Beck 'cause I was hooked on ESPN. Sorry Beck, it's a Chy thing. Pubs and ESPN = a non-conversational Chy.
Back to the coffee. I'm going through withdrawl. Dunkin Donuts makes the bet coffee, which makes me wonder...do Dunkin employees not dip into the caffienated brew? Every Dunkin I visited, I was attended to by a manic depressive individual. Invisible noose aound the neck demeanor, I'm going to jump into the boiling vat of sugar icing and end my miserable existence was the theme of Dunkin employees. They need a cup of coffee, milk and sugar, and maybe a donuts. Chocolate for extra endorphin release.
I think I need a return trip to Hartford and bring the happy cheery passive-agressive Teva and fannel wearing spirit of Seattle with me.

Chy! First of all, thanks for the Margarita explosion, the chicken crisper explosion, and whatever explosions went on that day. I wrote a blog way back about how Dunkin Donuts treats it's employees. You might have to dig through the archives if you're interested. There are better coffee places. Seek out an 'It's a Grind'. You'll be floored by coffee goodness. It's so good that every time I get coffee from Dunkin' Donuts, I want to slap it off the counter, grab the person by the collar and say "what are ya tryin' to pull here buddy?!" I wouldn't have believed it either. |

Damn Chili's and it's explosions. Explosions of deliciousness!!!! Too bad we had the second dumbest waiter in CT and he didn't get my outlandishly hilarious humor. It was comedic explosion! I honestly think it would be sacreligious if I visited a different coffee joint in Hartford. I'm sure Tim's Dunkin heart would be torn out and melted into floor of It's a Grind by boiling hot coffee. Okay, that maybe a little dramatic, considering Tim really could care less. |

Dude, It's a Grind plays Sinatra, and not in the tacky Starbucks way where they just want you buy the CD.
America's fastest growing coffehouse. Join the movement! |

I am not a huge fan of Dunkin Donuts, I know...I know! We have a gourmet coffee shop down here that puts dunkin to shame. Maybe when Chy visits Florida we will have some.(Hint!!) Very nice to talk to you and Beck this weekend. |

I don't like Dunkin' either. I'll drink it, but it's not very strong or something. I want coffee that will kick me in the nuts and then as I go to curl up in agonizing pain it will grab the back of my head and slam it down into it's knee sending my teeth through the back of my throat...with cream and sugar. |

It's a Grind has a 'high octane' brew. I kinda want to try it even though their regular stuff gives me anxiety attacks, bloody stool, occasional waves of uphoria to crashing pits of despair, and sensitivity to dustmites. |

i just finished my dunkin coffee for the day, i avoided getting some this morning because of my job interview, it makes me all jittery. |

Ha no problem about the ESPN. I'm used to my husband ignoring me for sports. ;) You chatted plenty. I'm sure you'll be back. It was nice to have a quick chat with Natanis as well even if it was too loud in the restaurant and I had a few drinks. |

I have noticed the Dunkin is not very strong. As soon as I finish my brew, I need another 'cause it kind of puts me to sleep. You want high octane sludge, come to Seattle. Our cup-o-joe is insane in it's caffeine content. I love it. LOVE it. I have to tweek my home-brewed Dunkin to make it stronger. I call it Dunkin Lyle, after my dad, 'cause he makes the most insanely strong coffee ever. Crazy. |
