Depends... When I'm buying coffee to make at home, I never buy Dunkin Donuts. I don't like it at all. I buy Starbucks French Roast and grind the beans before I brew it.

It would be an understatement to say I'm addicted to it! If I'm out and want coffee, I'm happy with either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts BUT I can't stand the regular coffee at either of those places. At DD I get a mocha latte, made with whole milk, no sugar, and no whipped cream.

Mmmmmmm! At Starbucks, I'll either get a cafe mocha or a caramel machiatto (no idea how to spell that last one). I used to really like DD coffee, but have gotten so used to the darker flavor of french roast that I really don't like anything else.

My all-time favorite coffee is from a local coffee shop that roasts their own beans daily. They have a Sumatra French Roast that is to die for! It's so fresh, and when you buy the whole beans and grind them at home just before using them, the flavor is fantastic.

Of course, it's rather pricey and I don't always feel up to going into the coffee shop with little kids in tow. It takes a lot of extra time to get them out of car seats, make sure they don't cause trouble in the coffee shop, and then buckle them back into car seats just for one pound of coffee. Whenever I manage to make it out without the kids, I will stop in and buy a bag of French Roast.

I don't spoil myself with things like manicures, hair treatments, or massages. All it takes is some really, really, good coffee, so I don't mind the splurge! Here's the website for our local coffee place.

Dunkin Donuts for me! O’ course, if I want a cappuccino or latte, it’s Starbucks. But for just a good ole cuppa Joe, I’ll go to the donut shop!

But, here of late, I haven't been going to the donut shop as much. SuperAmerica and Speedway gas stations have been selling Koni coffee, and it is super GOOD! It's getting so that I have trouble passing one of those stations... even when I don't need gas!

Depends For my morning cup-o-joe, there is nothing better than a large regular Dunkin Donuts coffee. It is just perfect. When I am out with my friends in the evening, I do enjoy a Grande Rasberry Mocha from Starbucks.

Dunkin Donuts, all the way. I like some Starbucks drinks made with their espresso, but I have not found a single drip coffee of theirs that is palatable. They are all burnt tasting; I don't mind strong.

Actually I like strong, but I see no reason for burnt. Dunkin Donuts is just a good all-round cuppa. LarssenAbdo's Recommendations The Devil's Cup: A History of the World According to Coffee Amazon List Price: $14.95 Used from: $5.00 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 13 reviews) .

Easy... For coffee, Starbucks is far superior to Dunkin Donuts. Now, for the killer...for donuts, Starbucks is far superior to Dunkin Donuts. Of course, Starbucks uses 3rd party suppliers here, notably Krispy Kreme.

I'm in my 50s. I try not to eat a lot of donuts anymore...for my health. But, in all honesty, I must admit that I have consumed dozens of dozens of dozens of donuts in my more than 5 decades on this planet.

The best donuts I have eaten are of the "home made variety". These are typically made by a person sent from God to an unknown shop in the middle of nowhere. I can't unfortunately remember these shops, but I can still taste the donuts!

Short of driving around our back highways looking for these sugared confection oases, many of us resort to more conventional franchise sources. I haven't tasted a better donut from a popular source than Starbucks'. Dunkin Donuts works for the undiscriminating palates of the elementary school variety; but, seriously, how can you compare the two?

I know this sounds arrogant. And, I don't mean to be so. But, everyone reading this has official approval to park their diets and buy just 1 donut from Dunkin Donuts and 1 donut from Starbucks' selection.

Pick your favorite kind. Then, eat then at the same time, clearing your palate with a glass of water. I truly challenge anyone to come back raving about DD.

Interestingly, a Seattle survey identified a few great donut locales, including Krispy Kreme. DD did not get an honorable mention. http://www.nwsource.com/restaurants/guides/doughnuts_031204.html But, some might say this Q was about coffee... :) I grew up on coffee--the horrible, watered down, overcooked variety that populates 95% of our nation's establishments.

At some point in my life, I visited Vienna. That's in Austria, not Virginia, for those of you who are wondering what I am going on about...Those of you who know your history will remember that it was a Captain Kolschitzky in the Austrian Army who introduced coffee to the West. He found a black, strong beverage in the Sultan's tent (after battle), tasted it, and the rest is history.

In Vienna, when you are properly served coffee, it comes in a cup resting on a saucer only partially filled with this delicious warm beverage. This is sitting on a small silver tray along with a small glass of chilled water without ice. After experiencing this in the "Temple of Coffee", how could I go back to drinking the dilute, often burned cup of joe?

I found good coffee in specialty shops around our country, notably in San Francisco, over the years. Starbucks is seriously to be credited with educating our nation on what coffee is and how it is to be brewed and consumed. But, as with all franchises, Starbucks made compromises and is facing its own sets of issue.

Go to the Business section of the 1/12/08 NYTimes if you want a taste of some of these challenges. Nevertheless, whenever I am someplace that I do not normally frequent, I will trust Starbucks to provide me with a reasonably consistent good "cup" of coffee. I have tried Dunkin Donuts coffee twice.

Both times, I threw away the coffee after a few initial tastes. I haven't analyzed its process. I don't know if the problem lies in the quality of the beans or in the freshness of the roasting.

I suspect it lies in the (too high) temperature at which they keep the brewed coffee warm. In any case, I will not waste my money there again. Having said this, I do not see Dunkin Donuts going out of business anytime soon.

If they sell inferior donuts and inferior coffee and if the cafe environments of Starbucks shops trump the cold unfriendly interiors of Dunkin Donuts outlets, then how is it that they stay in business? As with most everything else, there is a huge diversity of tastes in our great nation. Some swear by McDonalds.

Others swear by Burger King. And, yet others, will only eat the hamburgers prepared in the 21 Club in NYC. Will the 21 Club start selling its hamburgers across the country in a new mega-franchise?

I doubt it. Franchise stores serve the needs of a tremendous percentage of our population--all those who do not live within comfortable driving distance of one of those godsent cafes or restaurants with scrumptious donuts or hamburgers or coffee. Guess where I am going right now?

I've been salivating throughout my response to this great question.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
