I've heard this debate so many times, and just was asked this the other day... just wondering what you all think!

Which coffee do you prefer?
(101 posts)
There seems to be a loyalty among coffee drinkers, so where do you prefer to get yours?

I cold brew at home. Better coffee for cheaper.
08/14/2011
There's a local place I LOVE, and I think it's better than any of the national chains. Their coffee is phenomenal and their donuts/pastries are out of this world! Plus I get to support a local business. We have both the other chains here, but they hardly get any business. lol

I brew my own coffee, but if I am out and want some, I typically go to Starbucks. We don't have Dunkin' Donuts around here. I know Starbucks is really expensive, but it's really the only place in my area that doesn't have crappy coffee. Also, it tends to be quieter if I decide to sit and stay a while. Even though I've heard that McDonald's coffee has gotten better, I hate going in there, because the place is always jam packed with rowdy, noisy children.

Tropicana Coolata for me, coffee for her!
08/14/2011
I refuse to pay $4 or more for a cup of coffee, especially an espresso-based cup of coffee.
08/14/2011
Depends on the mood I'm in. I don't like dunkin donuts for their actual doughnuts so I usually don't go there to get coffee.
08/14/2011
I don't drink coffee but I sure do like donuts so I'd probably pick dunkin donuts over starbucks

i don't like coffee, but i do like frappichinos (yes, i know there's coffee in them).
08/14/2011
I really don't like coffee that much.
08/14/2011
I don't like coffee, but when I do need it the gas station is my choice!
08/15/2011
I don't drink a lot of coffee but Starbucks DD have other tasty drinks
08/15/2011
Dunkins makes me feel sick after I drink it. Starbucks tastes *ok*, but for the money I'd expect better. Most gas stations around here have better coffee than either. My espresso machine kicks all their asses 8 days a week!
08/15/2011
I brew at home mostly unless its the winter season, then I head on over to Starbucks and get a Peppermint white mocha..hot..mmm, I only drink them during the winter so it's like a yearly treat
08/15/2011
I rarely drink coffee, but I do sometimes go into Starbucks. I don't think there's a Dunkin' Donuts in my area.
08/15/2011
Dutch Bros!!! No Dunkin here, and I dislike Starbucks.

We don't have a Dunkin Donuts in Canada so I voted for Starbucks. I like Tim Hortons coffee better though.

I like Dunkin Donuts better because I could get 5 coffees for the price of one at Starbucks. When I lived in Boston, I survived off of French vanilla with extra cream and extra sugar. (I didn't really like coffee!)
Now though, I actually prefer a local chain of gas stations called Sheetz. They've got made to order food and all that. Tons of coffee drinks (and a toasted marshmallow milkshake that is to die for).

If its cold coffee starbucks. I dont like dunkin because it always seems really burnt and watery. Same with Mcdonalds.
Usually I just make it from home or a small place because everything is made than and not premade.

Love starbucks chai tea latte
08/15/2011
TIM HORTONS! lol
08/15/2011
I brew my own Seattle's Best coffee in the morning.
08/15/2011
Our espresso maker cost more than our mortgage payment and utilities for a month. My husband would have my head if I bought coffee at either of those places!
08/15/2011
I don't really like Starbucks coffee... I've never tried Dunkin's. My husband makes me coffee.
08/15/2011
Tim Hortons
08/15/2011
I hate the smell of coffee. Would rather have chai tea.
08/15/2011
caffeine causes the body to store fat. you should avoid drinking coffee and sodas to avoid having cellulite
though to be honest im weak to it sometimes

Neither. I don't think my city even has a dunkin donuts anymore...
08/15/2011
I like the freshness of starbucks but I end up going to Dunkins because the people who work at my starbucks seem like stuck up assholes.
08/15/2011
starbucks is the only coffee i'll drink. but i don't drink that much anyway
08/16/2011
starbucks is way too expensive to drink more then once or twice a month. We make ours at home.
08/16/2011
I make it at home - too expensive to go out and drink coffee every morning. Also, we never had Dunkin Donuts in my area when I grew up, so I've never really been there much.
08/22/2011
I am addicted to Starbucks. I don't go out and buy it everyday, but I brew their beans at home.
08/26/2011
Another vote for Timmy Ho's!!!

Why would you go with anything else other than starbucks?
12/10/2011
I make my own but if I'm out and dragging, I'd opt for DD out of the two. I can't stand Bucky's.
12/10/2011
I only drink coffee when other people make it and it's free (ultimate convenience).
12/10/2011
I have never had Dunkin Doughnuts, so Starbucks wins by default. Though I do love me my Starbucks.
12/10/2011
i prefer Italian (Segfredo, Illy) and Peet's.
12/10/2011
Starbucks for me!
12/10/2011
Starbucks! I prefer making it at home though
12/10/2011
I rarely drink coffee so never make it at home. On occasion I will stop at Starbucks or one of the other small coffee shops around town.
12/10/2011
DD's.
12/10/2011
I normally just make my own at home since its waaaaay cheaper. Dunkin Donuts and Timmy Hos are my favorites. For some reason everything Starbucks serves tastes burnt, even their hot chocolate so I stay away from there haha.
12/10/2011
I love mom & pop shops much more than any large brand.
12/10/2011
I like little shops around here, and also I make mine at home on the stove.

I don't drink coffee. It makes me sick.
12/10/2011
We mostly home brew. Starbucks is delicious, however I like a few of the local places better.
12/10/2011
i like everything that goes inside of coffee. the coffee itself is irrelevant.
12/10/2011
Java City coffee. It isn't a chain, but a lot of coffee shops around here use it. Their Mayan Mocha is amazing.
12/10/2011
I don't go out for coffee often, but I like going to Peet's or a shop by my house called the Roasted Coffee Bean. Out of convenience I will go to Starbucks since they're everywhere.
12/10/2011
I make mine at home, and I also drink decaf.
12/10/2011
I don't like coffee can't even stand the smell of it.
12/10/2011
My Keurig is my best friend, though Starbucks is good as well.
12/10/2011
I only like mochas but I generally go to Starbucks for them.
12/11/2011
We only have Starbucks in Canada, but their coffee is way too expensive. I only drink coffee occasionally. In fact, I'm pretty sure my last one was a Starbucks coffee six months ago.
12/20/2011
I go to coffee shops to drink/eat other things.
12/20/2011
I don't drink coffee, but if I did I'd do it at home b/c I'm on a very very strict budget.
12/22/2011
Mostly at home, Dunkin Donuts when out. I like Starbucks but the price is steep. All the MCD's around here have any size coffee for .99....
12/22/2011
It's a shame that Arbuckle's coffee isn't known anymore but then again, neither is Beta-max or Atari.
12/22/2011
I am a starbucks addict. In the summer I am addicted to this amazing local coffee shop we have, but their winter hours don't make it easy for me to get there right now. We don't have dunkin here though
12/22/2011
Starbucks hands down! I also make coffee at home too. But, I do have my own espresso machine so I can kick-it-up-a-notch!!!
12/22/2011
Starbucks as a rare indulgent.
12/22/2011
not much of a coffee drinker
01/15/2012
When it comes to coffee, I don't have a preference. The hot chocolate, however, is not a game to me! I LOVE Dunkin' hot chocolate much more than Starbucks'. Tes, I know the Starbucks one is "richer" and it's definitely very good, but the Dunkin' one is just better to me.
My bggest complaint is that they don't sell it packaged so I can have it at home.

I'm totally a Starbucks addict, but I usually just get plain brewed coffee there. I don't get the super sweet espresso drinks very often.

I don't drink coffee
06/09/2012
Starbucks is too expensive, and I used to work at Dunkin' so I got WAY sick of their coffee! When I get coffee, I get it at the local gas station!

I don't drink coffee.

I worked as a Barista at Starbucks for three years. I loved it, but now I just use my Keurig.
06/09/2012
Not into coffee or any of the other drinks there with maybe an exception for hot chocolate. And if I want that, I'll make it at home.

10/06/2012
I don't really care. They're both really good too me. I have a favorite drink at starbucks & then I have a favorite drink at dunkin ... along with mcdonalds coffees
10/06/2012

I have never had a coffee from Starbucks. I do like Dunkin Donuts coffee. When I am having a craving I will get one of theirs.
