Dunkin’ coffee is also one to be talked about. Dunkin’ coffee is freshly ground, freshly brewed and freshly served. If not used within 18 minutes, Dunkin’ coffee is discarded and a new carafe is freshly brewed. Dunkin’ uses 100 percent Arabica coffee beans, imported from South and Central America, and which has its own coffee specifications, recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee.
Based on Dunkin’ Quality (DDQ) specifications, coffee is milled and processed specifically for the company. More than five flavors can be added to it: vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, cinnamon and caramel. Dunkin’ sells more than 285 million cups of iced coffee per year, and has worked hard to create an iced coffee recipe that consistently maintains flavor.
For your information, there are 4 factors that affect the freshness of coffee beans: air, humidity, temperature and direct light. That’s why coffee beans should be stored in a dark and dry place, and a quality checklist is performed on coffee every four hours for consistency.
HISTORY OF DUNKIN
In 1950, Bill Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts, and licensed the first of many franchises in 1955. When Mr. Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ Donuts, he had a simple philosophy: “Make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores.” This philosophy still holds true today and is the foundation that has enabled Dunkin’ to grow into America’s favorite every day, all-day stop for coffee and baked goods. According to market research conducted by The NPD Group / CREST®, Dunkin’ is a market leader in the hot regular/decaf/flavored coffee, iced coffee, donut, bagel and muffin categories for the year ending December 2010 and the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world. Dunkin’ sells every year more than 1.5 billion cups of coffee globally, and more than one billion and MUNCHKINS® donut hole treats. Dunkin’ has earned the No. 1 ranking for customer loyalty in the coffee category by Brand Keys for five years running. The company has more than 9,700 restaurants in 31 countries worldwide. Based in Canton, Massachusetts, Dunkin’ is a subsidiary of Dunkin’ Brands, Inc.
