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?

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.

So, how do you like your coffee?
