A latte does have espresso.
Additionally, I just found out that DD coffee is also more acidic than Starbucks coffee. I don't think it changes how much caffeine you get, but you could be getting more sugar on your DD coffee.

For the coffee lovers... am I a heathen for getting a twist with my espresso?
From the South, so we never had one of those "gigantic coffee brands" be a regional thing. I know I visited DD before Starbucks, but it was as a kid, so it was donuts only. I did Starbucks coffee before DD.
Starbucks to me, is "fancy coffee for those times you just want to buy an expensive cup of whipped air with a dash of coffee." DD is for straight up coffee goodness. I don't like their Lattes, or really any of their flavored coffees.

OP, you need to order the "Turbo Hot" for that super extra kick.
especially the extra caffeine brew.

Wow, OP is drinking a cup of candy every morning.
Well, I was anyway.
Alright, sounds like I need to up the potency of my coffee in the morning then. Thanks everyone.

I never heard Dunkin' Donuts called Dunkies before. I'm gonna start using that.
Everyone in Boston calls Dunkin' Donuts Dunkies.
No, but give me buffalo chicken flatbread pls.
The cinnamon Dunkin Donuts puts in the coffee isn't syrup, its just the pure flavoring. They only put sugar in if you request it. The only flavoring they sell that always will have sugar in it is mocha.
Source: I work there.
K-cups will take less time than what you spend ordering at a take-out place.

Starbucks latte gives me the runs. They have laxatives in their syrup or something.

Starbucks espresso caffeines the shit out of their coffees iced to make sure it doesn't get substantially diluted when the ice melts.
Grande iced skinny vanilla latte with two pumps vanilla, two pumps hazelnut for life bitches.
Also pumpkin spice lattes when in season.

Espresso only packs a bigger punch per ounce. In a venti (20oz) latte, you're getting 150mg (2oz) of espresso, whereas in a large (20oz) coffee you're looking at well over 300mg of caffeine. It's not the caffeine, it's the fact that the cinnamon dolce latte is made with whole milk and sugar so your body is getting more fuel.

What city are you in? I assure you there is probably a local establishment that makes good coffee for less than starbucks.
You'd be surprised. My favorite coffee in the city comes from Boston Coffee Bean Company, but you can spend up to 6 or 7 dollars getting the drink you want there.
what about a cup of coffee

Starbucks and Dunkin brew coffee with different kinds of beans IIRC
yes as in those with taste like SB
you ever hear someone at SB ask for 15 sugars and 50% milk?
people who like dunkin, dont like coffee, they like dunkin
asking if dunkin coffee is good is like asking if yoohoo is a good chocolate milk, of course not, it's a chocolate drink

Is Dunkin' Donuts American Tim Horton's?
Yeah, I only order plain black coffee and I get people asking me why I spend so much by going to Starbucks.
I usually make my coffee at home so I can use my vacpot and better beans, but if I have to get coffee from somewhere Starbucks is the best option. All the other chains around here have terrible black coffee and the good local places are usually too out of the way.
Yeah, they're pretty similar. Their black coffee isn't quite as awful as Timmy's though.

It's pretty much a variation of Turkish coffee. Good stuff.
Expresso?

Since I've worked there for two year running now, Starbucks drinks don't really do much for me anymore. Frappuchinos are disgusting when you know exactly what goes into them, and the brewed coffee is a step below Dunkin Donuts or even McDs. Nowadays whenever I do need coffee there I just get iced coffee. There's a place downtown called The Steaming Cup which also has much better brews.
