    Dunkin coffee isn’t some fancy pants premium bean, but I grew up on their coffee, and it’s incorporated into my idea of what “home” is. I love their coffee

    I buy Dunkin medium all the time. I still buy fancier coffees but for $10/lb right up the street when I'm out, I buy dunkin every time. It's far superior to other mass marketed coffees. It's right up my alley in terms of what I like in body and taste.
    Also, you will find a roast date on the bag. I usually find bags that are around a month old at stores. Not super fresh but still well drinkable.

    I have tasted many brands of coffee, ground and whole bean. Dunkin' is a medium blend but I grind enough of the beans to make it stronger in the cup as I like. I also grind it with the setting near espresso grind. That gets the most of the oils out of the coffee while brewing. I see no other whole bean coffee out there that beats Dunkin'. That is my professional opinion. Can you drink too much coffee?

    • @WholeBrainCoffee
      @WholeBrainCoffee  Před rokem +1

      Sure, a good starting place many people recommend is 15:1 ratio. I personally like it a little stronger at 18g of coffee : 250g of water per cup. Feel free to experiment and adjust to your own liking!

    Listening to people like you doing a coffee review makes NO since to me. There are a million coffee companies in the world and none are the same nor do they taste the same. You can take the same cup of coffee with two like you drinking it at the same and still get a difference in taste of likability. For me, Dunkin is very good coffee. I grind my own at home every morning and at times I like to mix brands. Yesterday, I had straight up Amazon brand dark roast coffee. I was strong as I like coffee but it needed something else to help the taste. Today, I mixed and ground one scoop of Amazon dark roast whole bean with two scoops of Dunkin medium brew whole bean. If I could package that stuff I could make some money. The Dunkin' had the roasted taste while the Amazon dark put the boldness in the brew. I love to mix brands of whole bean. Not stuck with the same taste every day. For over 40 years, I have been drinking Folgers Breakfast blend ground coffee. I even mix it with other brands of whole bean after grinding. Making my own flavor is fun and I look forward to drinking my whole POT every morning. As for you two telling me what is good and what is not, you might want to try some of my mixes. JS
