I saw, online, that I could get a free sample of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. So, I filled out the information, and waited for the day that it would arrive. It took a little over a week. On opening the package, I discovered a 4 cup sample was enclosed. After cleaning my Mr. Coffee machine, I set it up for a 4 cup brewing.
Dunkin' Turbo is a dark roast coffee. A slight 'smokey' scent while brewing it. It's flavor is pretty close to what you get in their stores. One difference... It's caffeine content is MUCH higher. It had a hint of smoothness to it. Slightly acidic in nature. I had my first cup "Black, no sugar". This is my tradition. Seeing if it 'needs' to have cream and/or sugar to taste. In my opinion, it needs both. It's a little harsh on the taste buds. Might be the elevated caffeine content. With some coffees, I use two measures of cream and 4 measures of sugar. This needed two more sugars. I could 'almost' say that it was sightly bitter.
It's not a bad coffee, but it needs additions to make it palatable, and drinkable. While NOT on my 'favorite' list, I would have it again. Just not too often. I would, however, put it on a list of 'back up' coffees if no other was available.
For this sample, I will say that the price was right. Worth trying, but not a special trip.

This blog is all about the coffee. It will be filled with my personal opinions of the various coffees that I, personally, have tried. I have my preferences, when it comes to coffee. I prefer dark roasts, and do NOT like decaf much at all. I will be reviewing coffee, latte, cappuccino, and various other varieties of my favorite beverage.
