The War of the Coffee Kings

By Neil Fisher

One of the most preferred drinks in the world is coffee. People love the taste, and even more so the physical boost it provides. Giving energy to both the body and mind, people have come to depend on it for work, not to mention the social benefits of it too.

Two of the most popular brands in the nation are Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. In bigger cities, you can't go a few blocks without seeing one of the two and there are branches of each present in both towns as well.

There are those who claim that Dunkin Donuts is better, and they're fiercely loyal to the brand. Others feel just the same way about Starbucks. Which is the better option of the two? Let's have a look.

First, let's look at Starbucks. The coffee giant has exploded during the last 15 years, and they've even expanded to various drinks and foods beyond coffee. You can now get pastries, breakfast, and sandwiches at Starbucks.

Still, coffee is the brand's strength and people pile up in droves to drink it. The biggest benefit to Starbucks coffee over Dunkin Donuts is the fact that their coffee packs more caffeine in it. If you're looking for a big kick, this is the way to go.

How about Dunkin though? Well, while Dunkin Donuts has less caffeine per ounce of coffee, it does offer bigger sizes for comparable prices. People definitely appreciate the value offered at a Dunkin Donuts, not to mention the generally shorter wait times on line.

Anyone who prefers a bigger drink would like this more. They also have more flavors available, with interesting ones springing up all the time.

So, who wins the coffee war between Dunkin and Starbucks? It seems that Dunkin Donuts wins in blind taste tests according to some studies, but it really all comes down to a matter of personal preference in the end. - 31875
