Complete Guide To Dunkin’ Donuts Caffeine Content
Dunkin’ Donuts started as a donut bakery shop back in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts and since has become a worldwide franchise comprising almost 10,000 stores worldwide and almost 7,000 USA locations.
Over the last 10 years Dunkin’ Donuts has strengthened their coffee brand significantly by introducing espresso based drinks as well as cold coffee beverages such as their popular Coolatta. Their coffee tends to be more affordable than other coffee houses and they have become just as popular for their coffee as they are for their 52 varieties of donuts.
Here’s how Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee and other beverages break down according to caffeine content.

Flavors?
In addition to the above listed beverages, Dunkin’ Donuts has several flavored versions of their brewed coffee and espresso based coffee drinks. Some are available seasonally and others all year long. The caffeine content of the flavored varieties would be the same as above, but would only depend on whether it is a brewed coffee beverage or an espresso based flavored beverage.
How Does Dunkin’ Compare?
The caffeine content of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee would be somewhat less when compared to other restaurants such as Starbucks or Caribou coffee. Less ground coffee is used to make Dunkin’ Donuts brewed coffee and their espresso based drinks don’t follow the standard shot amounts. For instance, a true double shot should have double the caffeine as a single shot and a triple shot, triple the caffeine. Dunkin’ doesn’t use double the amount of espresso ground coffee to make their double shot, which results in less caffeine than a standard double shot. For people who prefer less caffeine in their coffee and espresso beverages, Dunkin’ Donuts is a good choice.

Answered my questions. Thank you.
Even though your hot chocolate is low in caffeine there are alot of people who for health or health conscious reasons can’t take even that much caffeine. There are many wonderful items to choose from on your menu, and not every one comes in for coffee==me included! I can buy Nestle’s 99.9% caffeine free hot chocolate in the grocery store but have never been able to get caffeine free from business’s such as your own, green mountain coffee, starbuck’s, etc. I would think that expanding your caffeine free items to include hot chocolate would apeal to many and perhaps attrack new customers. I wouldn’t think it would be that much more expensive to obtain. Just a thought, keeping in mind people are becoming more health conscious and mom’s might purchase it more often for their kids if the caffeine factor was eliminated. Thanks for letting me give you my input.
