[spoiler title=’Click here for transcript’] Hey welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee we’re back I don’t know if you missed us or not but there was a hurricane so we left we did one show in Georgia but then we were without power we were without power after that we were home but we were without power and didn’t really feel like well we couldn’t make coffee we had to go get it well yeah we could have reviewed that coffee but we were tired and it was hard to sleep and I hadn’t showered like well I showered–no blowdryer–I couldn’t blow dry my hair and be beautiful– oh me neither yeah so but anyway we’re back now and we are reviewing this one this is the okay it’s a medium roast Dunkin Donuts coffee Dunkies Dunkies it’s called Dunkin Turbo so it’s supposed to be coffee with a boost of espresso flavor right now what does that mean right because it says a boost of espresso flavor not a boost of espresso okay so I feel like we need to talk about what is espresso exactly do you know there’s no X in it there is not an X and the other thing you should know about espresso because I didn’t even really know I thought I had kind of a grasp but basically espresso is both the beverage and the way that you brew it but it is not a special bean it is not a special roast so basically it’s ground really fine the coffee it’s just coffee just coffee like it could be Arabica coffee a dark roast and it’s the way you make it so it’s like basically high-pressured hot water almost to the point of boiling is like pushed through the coffee and it makes the the espresso and it’s got like a crema so it’s like a like a little bit of a foam and it’s creamier than you know coffee would be so and fun fact didn’t know this either it actually has less caffeine like per serving that like if you had the equivalent amount right something like that than coffee yeah people think that coffee espresso is so much higher in caffeine but it’s really not so what’s the point well because people like the way it tastes right but it has the crema it’s like I had five espressos yeah anyway I thought it was interesting unless Wikipedia was lying Oh Wikipedia is the best place to go to because anybody can put the information there that way you know that it’s the best information right so Michael Scott more more onto the coffee so this is 100% Arabica and like I said it’s a medium roast and it’s supposed to have the boost of espresso flavor which now that we know what espresso is it’s just coffee so it’s kind of a marketing thing I think it’s distributed by the Smucker company JM Smucker I guess they’re all in together so yeah Dunkin Donuts has been around since 1950 started out as a single donut shop so there we go but the question is is it good coffee because this is not cheap no it was on sale for $6.49 for this bag and it’s only an 11 ounce bag and that can fool you because I didn’t even notice that till I got in the car I was like oh this isn’t even a 12 ounce bag so that comes out to $9.44 a pound so not cheap even when it’s on sale yeah so the question is is it good I don’t know let’s try it what yes you do because we’ve had it a couple of times now I wanna know your thoughts before I say my thoughts my thoughts have been that it’s not really offensive but it’s also not really good it’s like um to me it has kind of a like a papery slash musty kind of flavor–I’d go with that– so I’m not a big fan on the flavor with that but then I also think like it’s also kind of just watery tasting to me like it doesn’t have like a yeah just a lot of flavor it’s just kind of like just kind of meh yeah right I wouldn’t buy it again and it calls for a tablespoon and a half per yeah six ounce cup instead of a tablespoon so so not only are you having to spend more you’re also having to use more and we made it both ways how did you make it this time the way that the bag instructs so and even though we’re using more coffee than we normally do we’re still not getting very much flavor so yeah I would not recommend overall me neither yeah it’s kind of disappointing cuz it used to be like one of our like treat coffees when we buy Dunkin Donuts like we get the big bag at Sam’s and we were like it’s like treating ourselves but I don’t know if either the quality has degraded or our tastes have changed well also this is a different one with a espresso blast that’s true yeah that is true so did I say Arabica 100% Arabica beans so bottom line is we would not buy it again yeah and but for future reviews you can reach out to us on Facebook Instagram YouTube look up Coffee Coffee Coffee show and go to our website CoffeeCoffeeCoffeeShow.com and check out the coffee table which has all of our reviews or at least the data from all of our reviews and you can see like how much they cost per pound which ones we would buy again the flavor profiles things like that right if you have any further questions leave us a comment that’s right ciao talk soon [/spoiler]
CLARIFICATION: Espresso has less caffeine per serving than coffee. In other words, one cup of coffee has more caffeine than one espresso. However, if you were to pour a whole regular coffee cup full of espresso, that would have more caffeine than a regular cup of coffee. Make sense?
