People love their coffee.
Some people can't go through an entire day without it, and some people can't go through half a day without it.
Coffee provides an instant burst of energy for those who need it, and caffeine is a stimulant of the body and the mind.
Two of the most popular brands in the nation are Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.
In bigger cities, you can't go a few blocks without seeing one of the two and there are branches of each present in both towns as well.
Some people swear by Starbucks and some people swear by Dunkin Donuts.
Let's look at some of the pros and cons of each in order to determine whose is better.
First, let's look at Starbucks.
The coffee giant has exploded during the last 15 years, and they've even expanded to various drinks and foods beyond coffee.
Still, coffee is the brand's strength and people pile up in droves to drink it.
The biggest benefit to Starbucks coffee over Dunkin Donuts is the fact that their coffee packs more caffeine in it.
If you're looking for a big kick, this is the way to go.
How about Dunkin though? Well, while Dunkin Donuts has less caffeine per ounce of coffee, it does offer bigger sizes for comparable prices.
Anyone who prefers a bigger drink would like this more.
They also have more flavors available, with interesting ones springing up all the time.
So, who wins the coffee war between Dunkin and Starbucks? It seems that Dunkin Donuts wins in blind taste tests according to some studies, but it really all comes down to a matter of personal preference in the end.
