,Here's something that's been on my mind for a while and it has errked me to no end. IF I EVER SEE ANYONE WATERING DOWN MY COFFEE AT DUNKIN DONUTS AGAIN THEN I WILL SHOVE BERETS THOSE YOU WEAR WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE.
When I think of Dunkin Donuts, I think of Denis Leary who said:
I think it has to do with the Korean tea culture. I like my coffee thick and black. I want it to give me antacid as it goes down, but I've found that this taste is just too strong for many of my Korean friends. They like to water it down. They will use water. I mean, I've offered milk- to me that makes sense, but water?
To me, its an insult because I grind my beans myself and then I slowly coax out the black energy with an orchestrated dousing of hot water. Coffee has a very specific ratio of beans to water and if you go above or below, you have a very different product.
Dunkin Donuts, leave my coffee alone.

When I think of Dunkin Donuts, I think of Denis Leary who said:
Been in Dunkin' Donuts lately? The last bastion of coffee-flavored coffee? It's gone. Forget about it. You walk in there now, there's people wearing berets, they're writing poetry on computers, there's a kid behind the counter: "Would you like a coffee kuhlata?"Yeah, that's not the case in Korea. It's got strawberry cakes and berry couple donuts and little cakes in the shape of teddy bear heads (Where's the Bear Claw!). It's just scary and they water down coffee. Can someone tell me why?Fuck no! www.blowme.com! Coffee Kuhlata -- what the hell is that all about? Man, when I was a kid, Dunkin Donuts had two things -- coffee, and donuts, and that WAS IT! You took the donut, you dunked it in the cofee, thus the fuckin title of the place! Duuuuuuuuuukin DONUTS!
That's all the had, donuts and coffee, nothing else, no ice, no napkins, no soda, no salt, no pepper, no parfait, no croissants, NOTHING! You walk in there now, there's soup flying around, people are eating finger sandwiches... They got donuts on display in a case, like relics from a former era, you know. 'Here's what we used to serve. We used to fry 'em up and sell them by the dozen, back in the 70's.'

ReplyDeletei just want some regular donuts. that's what i think when i pass dd up. i really want some krispy kremes.
DD coffee is great. Just have to catch them before they add the water. Can anyone post the Korean phrase, "Please, don't add extra water to my gloriously strong coffee."
ReplyDeleteYou know you're getting old when commenters are asking you who Denis Leary is.
ReplyDeleteJust be happy you're in Korea! --
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know Denis Leary you're living under a rock
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIf Denis Leary saw Korean people adding water to the coffee, I think he would throw up his own lung and then beat them to death with it. Then with his exposed lung, he would probably smoke a cigarette.
Thanks for commenting.

Ok, so I'm going there in about an hour at the COEX. I'll be sure to ask for a extra shot of coffee with my coffee.
ReplyDeletespeaking of Comedians, Mitch Heberg (deceased) has a funny rant about our beloved DD.
" I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction."
