QUESTION: What is a Dunkin’ Donuts Turbo Shot? Someone was telling me that’s how they always order their coffee there, but I don’t know what that means. – Ellie Y
CLEARLY COFFEE REPLIES: Basically, a Dunkin’ Donuts Turbo Shot just means that they are adding an extra shot of espresso to the coffee drink, which makes it a bit bolder in taste and gives it a little bit more caffeine. If you’ve heard of a red eye at Starbucks, that is what they call a coffee with an extra shot of espresso added to it. (Keep reading past the screenshot below!)
Although Dunkin’ used to call it a Turbo Shot in their advertising, if you look on their app these days, you won’t see it called that anymore. Instead, you look in the Add Ons section under the drink and it’s just called Shot of Espresso.
So next time if you’re at Dunkin’ and you try to order a coffee with a Turbo Shot and they act like they don’t know what you’re talking about, you just have to explain that you want your coffee with an espresso shot add on.
But be warned! The price for a medium Dunkin’ Midnight coffee went from $2.69 to $4.08 when I added a shot to mine. You could almost buy two coffees for that price!

Here’s one of their old videos when Dunkin’ still called it the Turbo Shot.
