Coffee remains one of the most popular beverages in the country. It's a regular part of the day for millions of people, and it's the first thing some people look for right after they wake up. An ample stimulant, it gets people going when they need it most.

With so many styles and flavors of coffee, the options are virtually limitless. Many people have their preferred brands, but the most popular two are undoubtedly Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. With tens of thousands of locations throughout the country, these two brands are the Coke and Pepsi of the coffee world.

There are those who claim that Dunkin Donuts is better, and they're fiercely loyal to the brand. Others feel just the same way about Starbucks. Which is the better option of the two? Let's have a look.

We're going to look at Starbucks first here. They say that Starbucks could one day outnumber McDonald's in terms of locations, which goes to show the strength of the brand. Aside from their coffee, they've branched out to various foods and other drinks.

When it's all said and done though, people go to Starbucks for the coffee, not for the food. Some believe that people like the caffeine in Starbucks coffee more than anything else. There's more caffeine in a cup of Starbucks coffee than there is in a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.

There may be less caffeine in Dunkin Donuts drinks, but many coffee drinkers have no problem with this. They don't feel that they need the caffeine kick that comes with a Starbucks coffee. They also appreciate the generous servings at Dunkin Donuts. For the same price, you can generally get a few more ounces to drink.

Dunkin Donuts clearly wins the value war between the two brands, and they also win the flavor battle. The coffee menu at Dunkin Donuts is a bit more varied, and those who like flavored coffee may prefer this.

We can now deduce that Starbucks drinks will get you going more than Dunkin Donuts coffee will, but you'll have more to drink at Dunkin Donuts. I should also mention that Dunkin Donuts prevails over Starbucks coffee in blind taste tests. Still, it's all about your own virtues when all is said and done. - 24553
