Thats one of the reasons i prefer starbucks is the bitterness to the coffee. Dunkin is super like, sweet naturally. It tastes watered down to me because it doesn’t have any bite. I want it rich and dark. Don’t get me wrong a dunkin coffee is cute, it has it’s moments, but yeah. Most of the time i will prefer the rich and dark type of roast.
Dunkin is coffee to wake you up. Starbucks is boujee coffee made to taste fancy at the expense of caffeine. Roasting coffee beans destroys caffeine, which is why blonde roaste really wakes you up and why decaffeinated coffee is so dark.
Hot Chocolate > Coffee.
Eh, i consider these drinks to have different purposes and wouldn't outright weigh them against each other. Tea > coffee as a hot caffeinated beverage, but Hot Cocoa doesnt have enough caffeine to even be considered in the wake-up drink class. Measured by flavor, hot cocoa is basically what I want my coffee to taste like. Coffee isnt good until you dump a ton of sugar, creamer, and flavored syrup into it. The caffeine also makes coffee a bad choice as a drink for getting cozy at the end of the day. So cocoa wins flavored cozy drink wise.
