So our beloved city has seen a lot of new things in the last few years. There’s the metro, the skywalk, the sealink, the monorail, the eastern freeway, the ACLR, Lavazza, Starbucks Coffee and most recently Dunkin Donuts. So let us get to know one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world, which has become the latest craze in our city, a little better. Here are some fun facts about it –
Bean there – Approximately 2000 beans go into making just one pound of Dunkin coffee.
Unsung heroes – To ensure quality and consistency, Dunkin coffee experts taste an average of 200 cups of coffee every day.
Spoilt for choice – There are over 15000 different ways to order your coffee at Dunkin.
First time – The first Dunkin Donuts was in Quincy, Massachusettes.
Second helping – On average, they sell more than 30 cups of coffee every second.
Juice it up – Coffee beans actually being the seeds of coffee cherries, their coffee is actually fruit juice.
Win the cup – They sell 1.7 billion cups of hot and iced coffee globally every year.
Bean ranked – Their coffee uses 100% Arabica coffee beans, which the industry regards as a superior grade of coffee. Their lattes and cappuccinos are made with 100% Fair Trade Certified espresso beans.
Rags to riches – Back in the olden days, Dunkin coffee sold for 10c a cup.
Spoonful of sugar – Their flavour swirls are pre-sweetened. Flavour shots, on the other hand, are unsweetened and sugar-free.
