The Clash of the Coffee Giants

By Courtney Lucas


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.

With so many styles and flavors of coffee, the options are virtually limitless. Many people have their preferred brands, but the most popular two are undoubtedly Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. With tens of thousands of locations throughout the country, these two brands are the Coke and Pepsi of the coffee world.

As far as public opinion goes, it's pretty well split between the two coffee makers. Some swear by Dunkin Donuts and others say that Starbucks is clearly superior. Here are some of the facts about the two coffee giants.

Starbucks is our first subject here, and there's no doubt in my mind that you've seen plenty of locations. It seems that they're just about everywhere. Furthermore, they offer a lot more than just coffee these days.

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.

How about Dunkin though? Well, while Dunkin Donuts has less caffeine per ounce of coffee, it does offer bigger sizes for comparable prices. People definitely appreciate the value offered at a Dunkin Donuts, not to mention the generally shorter wait times on line.

So you get more for your money at Dunkin Donuts. Additionally, you'll have more flavors to choose from. Between offerings like blueberry, caramel, coconut flavored coffee and more, Dunkin Donuts has a wider selection in the flavor department.

So, who wins the coffee war between Dunkin and Starbucks? It seems that Dunkin Donuts wins in blind taste tests according to some studies, but it really all comes down to a matter of personal preference in the end.
