Pumpkin (really, nutmeg) flavor is enjoyable, but it's such a specific flavor that doesn't mesh well with many things. It barely works in coffee drinks. Really, the only thing pumpkin flavored things that are 100% enjoyable are pumpkin pie and pumpkin curry. I can occasionally tolerate a pumpkin beer.

My kids talked me into Burger King for breakfast this morning because they like their cinnamon rolls. I fucking hate Burger King's entire breakfast menu. Their bread is all crap. Too soft, no texture. Yuck.

Which are usually made with butternut and/or acorn squash and not pumpkin. Because pumpkin sucks.

It's because they keep their burgers on bread in a steamer. I'm willing to bet they do the same with breakfast items.

It's still not as bad as Dunkin Donuts. Nothing is as bad as Dunkin Donuts food.

I know a few people that refuse to drink anything but their coffee.

Other than cold press from Dunn Brothers and a Mild Chocolate Cooler from Caribou i pretty much hate all coffee related things so I can't tell what's good or not.

I love the smell of coffee though. It's so annoying that one of my favorite smells is also one of my most hated tastes.

last time i had BK breakfast they microwaved the croissant.
Not familiar with their breakfast sandwiches but BK microwaves burgers after putting the cheese on to melt it.

So the typical chain of events: Broil burger -> Put on bun -> Put in steamer (time limit activated) -> Customer orders -> Pull from steamer -> Put on cheese + condiments -> Microwave -> Provide to customer

I mentioned it in the Beer Thread, but Southern Tier's Pumking is pretty damn good. It has a vanilla flavor to balance out the nutmeg. It tastes like a piece of pumpkin pie bottom crust that has had most of the filling scrapped off of it. Almost like a pumpkin cookie but not that sweet.

I used to think Tim Hortons > Dunkin Donuts, but I haven't lived up north in years and it sounds like TH has gone downhill to some degree.

What? There is nothing wrong with Dunkin Donuts coffee.
DD coffee is burnt and sold scalding hot so it burns the taste buds off your mouth nullifying the shitty, bitter taste. I still drink it though because good coffee is stupid expensive and I just want caffeine.

I only get their iced coffee, so I can't attest to the scalding'ness, but it tastes fine to me. I don't drink "stupid expensive" coffee, though, so maybe I'm just ignorant of what good coffee tastes like.

late one night at a DD the very night shift (i was doing midnight laundry) was bored and i said, hey can i check out how you make coffee? It's really just a big Bunn coffee maker with a big ass filter and preground coffee in a pouch. He makes a big batch and pours it into the coffee dispenser. Then i noticed he had more regular sized coffee makers and he said thats for the gourmet coffees. I wouldn't really know since i don't order DD coffee (i was there for donuts).

Well I do drink coffee black so the actual coffee flavor comes through in full force, unmasked.

Yeah, I usually do iced coffee at DD with some cream. At work, I drink whatever garbage they have in the pot. I just need some caffeine.
