    It's a draw... i like starbucks' blended drinks way better, but Dunkin Donuts coffee (like black coffee with nothing in it, maybe a little milk and sugar) tastes better than starbucks to me... but DD's blended drinks are too sugary for me... idk...

    surprisingly, McDonalds Iced Coffee is my favorite and it's WAYYYYY cheap...love the vanilla iced coffee :)

    Neither. I'm too cheap to pay $4 for something I can make at home for about 25 cents.

    strictly coffee? Dunkin Donuts hands down.

    Everything else? Starbucks by a long shot.

    Their coffee is grown in the same place. Starbucks roasts their coffee for west coasters and typically have a more bold (dark) flavor. Dunks does theirs for east coasters (mainly New Englanders) and roasts their coffee light as what is the most desired preference in New England.

    I prefer GMCR, I like options =P

    If you want coffee flavored water, which you're expected to dump tons of sugar and milk into to make it drinkable, then Dunkin Donuts.
    If you want reasonably decent quality coffee, brewed pretty consistently, then Starbucks.
    For best results, support your local cafe / roaster.

    That's because it's Newman's Own! Which is pretty much Green Mountain Coffee

    Starbucks, DD is too weak for me. I do get iced skim lattes there once and awhile, it's the only drink I like from there.

    Starbucks has them killed on coffee. BUUUT I usually drink Dunkin because I'm a non-recovering Dunkin Donut addict.

    Starbucks is TERRIBLE, it always tastes burnt. I do not get why people like it so much. I vote DD or McDonalds or anyplace other than starbucks.

    Definitely Dunkin coffee, or Caramel latte beats Starbucks equivalent. Starbucks Caramel Machiato is great but the latte is just meh.

    I'm a Starbucks person!
    Dunkin Donuts I find to have WAY too much sugar. If you look on the bottom of an iced coffee, especially, you can see a thick layer of sugar. Starbucks is made all-natural, however, you have to really find what way you like your coffee there.

    Do not have a Dunkin Donuts here so Starbucks. I have not been since I started here in Feb so I need to go back and try some low cal beverages. My favorite before was Mocha Frappachino. YUMMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    DD defintely. Starbucks coffee tastes burnt to me. DD is more affordable too.

    Starbucks Chai Tea is a million times better than DD chai.

    Since Dunkin Donut doesn't exist anymore in my area, I would go with Starbucks...can't remember how Dunkin coffee tasted, it's been so long...

    I love Starbuck's Mocha Frappuchino but calorie-wise I choose Iced Cocoa Cappuchino w/ skim (keeps you awake!:yawn:) and not as many cals.
