A Reddit thread has sparked debate among Dunkin' iced coffee fans, with some claiming a noticeable change in the brew's flavor or intensity. While the evidence remains anecdotal, the controversy continues to grow as loyal customers weigh in on their recent experiences.
Dunkin' Fans on Reddit Claim Iced Coffee Recipe Change, Sparking Debate Over Taste and Brew
A minor controversy is brewing on Reddit, and it centers around Dunkin's iced coffee. Dunkin' has long been known for its flavorful and inventive iced coffee drinks, but many loyal customers insist that the original iced coffee is unbeatable. Recently, however, a dedicated Dunkin' iced coffee drinker posted on the r/DunkinDonuts Reddit thread, claiming a noticeable change in the brew used for the popular caffeinated cold drink. According to the Redditor, who has been ordering black iced coffee from Dunkin' for nearly a decade, their recent orders, particularly on the East Coast, have resulted in a disappointing taste.
While the evidence presented is purely anecdotal, the post sparked a wave of comments, including several from individuals claiming to work at Dunkin'. Many of these commenters confirmed that the brew has indeed changed. To clarify, an inquiry was made to Dunkin', but no direct response was received. Perhaps Chef Nick from Dunkin' could shed some light on the situation?
Dunkin' Fans Report Bitter Taste, Debate Whether Coffee Flavor or Brew Intensity Has Changed
This potential recipe change is more than just being discussed on Reddit. In the Dunkin' World Facebook group, another individual reported a similar experience. After noticing a difference in her coffee, she asked her local Dunkin' barista about it. According to her, the barista confirmed a change in flavor. However, another commenter suggested that it wasn't the flavor that changed but rather the intensity of the brew.
Whether the flavor or intensity has shifted, both threads agree that the coffee tastes more bitter. One Redditor claimed they were "instructed to tell customers who noticed that the brew is stronger to add more cream." If this change has affected your usual coffee experience, don’t panic. Consider switching to Dunkin's cold brew, which is less acidic and often smoother, or make it home for a more balanced flavor.
