Dunkin Donuts by far has the bestest coffee.... Worst Coffee without a doubt is Starbucks... when they say it's Fresh ground... go check out back to see if there are any freshly dug holes... cause their coffee tastes like dirt.

(Starbucks espresso drinks are a different story... I can deal with a good Peppermint Mocha ...or any kinda mocha)

My favorite coffee comes from a specialty food shop, so I didn't expect it to be up there. That store's coffee is in a fresh grinding machine,they make it in front of you, it's reasonable, it's super strong and just the smell drives me insane.

The coffee is so amazingly good that I think all of the ones on the poll taste awful.

Except the poll is asking specifically asking for Coffee drinks. Not Espressos, Not Frappuccinos... just coffee... all three categories are independent creations of the specific franchise chain.

If you want to compare brands, then you've gotta include all the products under the brand, and thus eliminating all the poll options with the exception of Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks (as they both have Coffee Drinks, Espresso Drinks, and Frozen Creation drinks.)


...and that is a completely different poll all together.

When McDonalds was trying to be classy and hip (wait, please excuse me for a second... bwahahahah... okay, sorry about that) they had good coffee. Some yummy blends. They seemed to have gotten rid of those though.

And latte's, capuchino's ans Espresso's are also coffee, just diferent types. Which means mt answer fits in the poll criteria.

Actually, they are not coffees. Espresso and Coffee are two completely different types of beans. If they were that similar, you'd be able to make a Nonfat Mocha with Coffee when your Espresso runs out... but that just tastes nasty. Also, Espresso has less caffeine in it than Coffee does.

Plus Lattes & Cappuccinos are Espresso drinks, not to be confused. Frappuccinos I can give *some* leeway too since the base for a Frappuccino is made with a coffee base... so there's some legitimacy there, but the Vanilla Frapp you mentioned is not made with the coffee base, it's made with the Universal Creme Base... which means there ain't no coffee in it.


Before Questioning me further, keep in mind I work for Barnes & Noble, which has a Cafe... which serves Starbucks Products, so I'm very well aware of the Starbucks line of bevarages as well as how to prepare them all. I can tell you the difference between a Cappuccino and a Latte (it's all in the milk proportions) and a Breve (A latte made with Half & Half). I know what a redeye is (Coffee w/a shot of Espresso). I know that a Starbucks "Caramel Macchiatto" is totally different from what a real Macchiatto is.
I know that Coffee and Espresso are two very different beverages.

I chose Starbucks but I also like Dunkin Donuts. I haven't had DD in a while though since there is only one in Indiana, but I have Starbucks all the time.

Starbucks = Dunkin Donuts >>>> Everything else

I voted for Starbucks (mainly for their Frapps). I've tried the Coffee Bean in the Western US, and I didn't really like it (though they have tasty tea).
