Recently I realized that even Burger King serves iced coffee now. I’ve never tried it, but was curious to see if it was any good. I dropped by a Burger King not to far away from my workplace in Dallas and ordered both of the two iced coffee options. A vanilla iced coffee and a mocha iced coffee.

We’ve written in the past about the discontinued spiked “hard coffee” drink from Pabst. So we were excited to read that Dunkin’ is going to jump into this market with a new hard iced coffee and tea offering called Dunkin’ Spiked.

Wondering about Dunkin’ decaf coffee? Does Dunkin’ have decaf? I was wondering myself, so I took a trip to the one near me to order a cup and tell you all about it. Here’s what I found out.
The Dunkin’ decaf is the same as the Original coffee. So it’s a medium roast that’s a very easy to drink blend, with all the mainstream coffee flavors you’d expect from a place like Dunkin’. And I don’t mean that as an insult! This coffee is designed to appeal to a wide audience.

So you’re heading over to Dunkin’ and you’re wondering if you should order the Dunkin’ Midnight coffee or stick with Original. Here’s what you need to know to help decide.
If you like dark, bold coffee with a very strong taste, you’ll like the Midnight better. If you prefer regular, medium roast types of coffees, stick with the Original blend.

Need to take some coffee to work and wondering how it works with the Dunkin’ coffee box? Here are the details you need to know.
When you order a box of Dunkin’ coffee, you can order Original, Midnight (their dark coffee) or Decaf (which is like Original, but decaffeinated). The cost in mid 2023 is usually around $20.49.

A lot of people don’t know this, but McDonald’s, Dunkin’ and Starbucks all have fairly similar shares of the coffee market. People buy a lot of coffee from all three places. Starbucks is the biggest, but the other two are not that far behind. Depending on where you look, it’s estimated at around 20 percent Starbucks, 16 percent Dunkin’ and 12 percent McDonald’s of market of buying a coffee outside the home.
McDonald’s has upped their game over the past five or more years, rolling out their McCafes, making higher end coffees available and not just plain old drip and decaf drip anymore.
I am not a huge fan of McDonald’s drip coffee, but I’ll admit it’s always fresh and hot. I will drink it if nothing else is nearby. I’d prefer a Starbucks, but there’s not always one around in smaller towns.
I started wondering, I wonder how their Americanos compare to their regular drip coffee. Hey, there was only one way to find out. I stopped at a McDonald’s in Dallas and went inside and ordered one of each to compare.
QUESTION: Can you get just an espresso shot at McDonald’s? I heard their McCafe is pretty good, but I pretty much only drink plain espresso. – Alan H
CLEARLY COFFEE REPLIES: This is a good question and I didn’t know the answer, so I tried to order one and here’s what I found out.
