Starbucks Coffee vs. Dunkin’ Donuts

One of the most preferred drinks in the world is coffee. People love the taste, and even more so the physical boost it provides. Giving energy to both the body and mind, people have come to depend on it for work, not to mention the social benefits of it too.

Two of the most popular brands in the nation are Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. In bigger cities, you can't go a few blocks without seeing one of the two and there are branches of each present in both towns as well.

There are those who claim that Dunkin Donuts is better, and they're fiercely loyal to the brand. Others feel just the same way about Starbucks. Which is the better option of the two? Let's have a look.

We're going to look at Starbucks first here. They say that Starbucks could one day outnumber McDonald's in terms of locations, which goes to show the strength of the brand. Aside from their coffee, they've branched out to various foods and other drinks.

While people generally approve of the food, in no way does it compare to the coffee. Though they definitely enjoy the taste of the coffee, many people love the caffeine that one cup packs in. Starbucks offers up some of the strongest coffee out there.

There may be less caffeine in Dunkin Donuts drinks, but many coffee drinkers have no problem with this. They don't feel that they need the caffeine kick that comes with a Starbucks coffee. They also appreciate the generous servings at Dunkin Donuts. For the same price, you can generally get a few more ounces to drink.

Dunkin Donuts clearly wins the value war between the two brands, and they also win the flavor battle. The coffee menu at Dunkin Donuts is a bit more varied, and those who like flavored coffee may prefer this.

Now that we've looked at the facts, you may be wondering which company offers better coffee? In taste tests, you might be interested to know that more people prefer Dunkin Donuts. However, you're looking for caffeine and something a bit more gourmet, Starbucks might be your answer.

The Starbucks generation

Starbucks, maybe you have heard of it, a popular little coffee shop that has stained a permanent ring into the veneer of our society. It has become more iconic than McDonalds as a representation of the American lifestyle.

However Starbucks has provided more than just a place for casual business meetings over a blended coffee drink. Around 3PM on any given weekday Starbucks plays a vital role in the future productivity of this Country.

Breaking the popular trend of not serving coffee to minors, Starbucks provides caffeinated beverages to throngs of Middle School and Jr. High students. Children between the ages of 10-16 can be seen daily sitting around sipping iced coffee's and Frappuchinos so big they must use jittering two hands to hold the cup. These kids are the future and thanks to Starbucks they are primed for maximum efficiency.

Coffee has played a vital role in the productivity of the work place for decades. There is hardly an office without a pot brewing throughout the day. However in the past, coffee was bitter and unappealing to children, now through the creativity and marketing of Starbucks, this nectar of efficiency is available to tomorrows fast thinkers.

Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit be damned, these are not problems, they are evolution. The world today moves slower than our youth think. By the time they are ready for their very own cubicles, information and production will have caught up with them. Industry in the future will move so quickly that the rest of the Starbucksless world will appear to be standing still.

So give little Tommy another Double Shot and stand back slow poke!
