i had brewed a cup of coffee in my head before getting to Dunkin Donuts and had my idealized flavor before my first sip of the real deal... a robust coffee with a rich undertone of pumpkin and a few touches of cinnamon. what i was accosted with at first sip was a cup of sugar water with an aftertaste of funky nutmeg. i HATE sweet coffee. pumpkins are naturally a little sweet... fine. but THIS. this was NOT coffee. i could not taste any coffee. my tongue was lambasted with sugar sweet nutmeg funk... AAACK. i think i was dreaming if i thought maybe they could do -flavor- without -sweet shit-.
sticking to Fresh Market flavored beans... Almond Amaretto, Creme Brulee... rich coffee, subtle undertone of a flavor. the type of coffee that does not get poured down the drain after driving 2 hours at 6am and still only being able force down only a few sips... bah humbug!
