When did you start drinking coffee?
If you're European, you might have started as a small child with a milky cappucino or cafe au lait.
Americans take to it a little later, usually when they get to college and realize the benefits of caffeine. If you went to school in New England, chances are pretty good your first experience with coffee was at Dunkin' Donuts.
Maybe it was an iced coffee on a steamy summer day, full of cream and sugar. Or maybe you decided to be daring and go for a dark roast, black. Either way, that cup was one of the one billion that Dunkin' Donuts sells every year. That's a lot of coffee. There must be something to it.
No, it's not your imagination that there's a Dunkin' Donuts in just about every town. Sometimes more. Sometimes several more.
That's a handy thing.
But some days, you don't want to leave the house, for reasons ranging from a bad hair day to pneumonia.
But you really, really want that Dunkin' Donuts coffee, don't you?
Do you have a Keurig coffeemaker? I do. There are lots of reasons why I love it, and they're spelled out in this post from waaaay back.
Now I love it even more because I can get actual Dunkin' Donuts coffee without leaving the house.
For that very reason, Dunkin' K-cups rock.
DD coffee in my bathrobe - say hey for that.
I like the dark roast. My husband likes regular. We have both. It tastes exactly like the same coffee you get at Dunkin' Donuts. Exactly. No kidding.
Would you like to try DD K-cups in your own kitchen?
What? No Keurig?
Well today could be your lucky day, my friend. You can win yourself a brand new Keurig Elite coffeemaker right here, right now. With a couple of boxes of DD K-cups to go with, of course.
How to win this wondrous thing?
Leave me a comment here. Tell me this:
How do take your coffee?
It's that easy.
And please note - the Keurig makes tea too. K-cups come in may tea varieties.
I don't discriminate against tea drinkers at all.

Now that I've solved your coffee problem, what about breakfast? I have never made a doughnut. Ever. I don't really like to fry things in boiling oil.
You could go get a doughnut, but then you'd have to get out of your pj's and that's not on our agenda.
Here are some past posts with recipes for breakfast-y things that would be absolute perfection with your cup of coffee.
Make some and you can just stay in that bathrobe all day.
It'll be our little secret.
Nutella Scones
Nutella Biscotti
Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins
Apple and Spice Scones
Blueberry Crumb Cake
So, how do you like your coffee?

I'm a coffee nut--err bean? Love the stuff! I take my coffee with half cream, half milk with a bare spoonful of sugar, very strong medium roast coffee. I've been a lover of the brew since I was a young child, but I remember putting like 4 spoons of sugar and milk in it! <3
ReplyDeleteIt's more like how do I take my cream and sugar: with a little coffee! I like it light and sweet! :-) Great give away!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI subscribe via Reader! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh I wiss i could win this, because my husband took the one we used to have to his work. I need one so badly, and also...dunkin donuts coffee is the ONLY coffee I drink. Got fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this. Love dunkin so much. I need a blast in the afternoon because of driving,and would so love this machine.
ReplyDeleteLots of cream, lots of sugar
ReplyDeleteCream and sugar.. And, when I'm in the mood.. I through in a dab of Fat Toad Farm goats milk caramel.
ReplyDeleteI use my Nespresso all the time! Saves me mega-money!
ReplyDeleteI take it black,the stronger the better, except when I go to Dunkin! And then I indulge in a regular coffee, iced or hot depending on the season.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a subscriber, and now that I know that DD Keurig cups exist, I may have to go invest in a new coffeemaker if I don't win! :)
Cream, no sugar. And I can teach you how to make a donut! Boiling oil and all :)
ReplyDeleteVery dark roast with a little bit (very little) of milk or the miraculous Fat Free Half and Half. And I love my coffee. Started late -- freshman year of college buying late night coffee at the Wawa.
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee with skim milk and just a little sweetener. Depending on the coffee (or my mood), I may add some nutmeg, caramel, or cinnamon...
ReplyDeleteWould love to win a Keurig - they are incredible!

I like to drink my coffee with heavy cream, a little bit of sugar and cinnamon! It's so heavenly good!
ReplyDeleteI take my coffee black, I grind the beans fresh every morning. I only drink Dunkin coffee, and I drink it out of a genuine porcelain mug with the DD logo on it. My "go cup" is a plastic DD cup that looks like styrofoam, but it's not! Dunkin coffee is available at some supermarkets and Target. However, mostly what i do is on my trips to the east I buy 4 lbs and put it in a carry on bag. Sometimes, my mom or sister-in-law will send me a few pounds. I would LOVE one of those coffee makers though, and for sure I'd only use the DD cups! Dunkin coffee is the best!!!
ReplyDeleteForgot this in my other entry, butr I do subscribe and am a "fan" on facebook. I really hope I win the Keurig! Have been wanting on forever.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I love your blog! Thanks so much for doing this giveaway! Became a fan on facebook! I like my coffee with a dash of cinnamon and liquid amaretto creamer.
ReplyDeleteI drink mine very strong with skim milk:)
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee dark and rich, like jet fuel. With a little whole milk... Betsy M.
ReplyDeleteLove DD coffee! It is always the same wonderful flavor that I can count on! Since we are retired we drink lots of coffee and would love a Keurig!!
ReplyDeleteI used to love coffee... black if I made it, or with a little milk if I was drinking the "at work" stuff. Now, unfortunately, my taste buds prefer tea: strong, black tea with a whisper of milk. And I'm a Facebook Friend and a subscriber! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI love my coffee with lots of sugar and creamer and something yummy to eat with it and I liked you !
ReplyDeleteI love cappuccinos with lots of foam, and strong coffee :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this giveaway! I love DD coffee, and would love to be able to make it everyday in a new keurig! I like my coffee light and sweet - cream and sugar! And, at this beautiful time of year, I like to indulge in a DD pumpkin muffin with my coffee! The ultimate indulgence :)

With milk, 2% or skim. Not cream, not half and half. Both upset my stomach. I'll drink it black if there's no milk. And Dunkin Donuts was definitely my first brush with good coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm both a subscriber and a facebook fan.
I take my coffee (flavored) with cream and sugar and lots of it!!
ReplyDeleteI liked you on Facebook as Kira Hultsman Hartgrove

ReplyDeleteHi Karen. I posted anonymously about my love of DD coffee, and pumpkin muffins! You can reach me at sebby627@gmail.com and my name is Sabrina :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWish I had found you sooner! I'll be back :)
ReplyDeleteIn a cup... A big cup! this is absolutely necessary to survive my toddler filled days!
ReplyDeleteI don't actually drink coffee, I was hoping to win one for my mother (avid coffee drinker lol) for a Christmas present as I can't afford to buy one. It would be the perfect gift for her!! She likes her coffee with half n half and splenda.
ReplyDeleteThough I am southern I don't drink my coffe black its good and creamy with Hazelnut cream . I love it but this is for my parents who have to have coffee to help them stay up!
ReplyDeleteWow after the age of 42 it hit me why coffee drinkers are "coffee drinkers" Especially those of us who go out of our way to make the u-turn to the dunkin sign we zoomed by. Coffee should really be simple , a little sugar, some lite milk (some creams are fake) and some good hot coffee. sometimes it is nice to get a little caramel or french vanilla...preferably not just flavoring but really good french vanilla. Yumm Heaven..;-) That's how I like my coffee, litely, sweet.
