Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Claim Shot Down

The eatery wanted to trademark the phrase “Best Coffee in America.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said no. Do you agree with Dunkin’ or is there better coffee to be had right here in New Port Richey ?

Drive around New Port Richey and it is evident there are plenty of places to get a hot cup of Joe. But who has the best?

Dunkin’ Donuts tried to stake the claim that its brew was the finest in America. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, however, just didn’t agree, according to The Boston Globe.

“Anyone at all can claim that their coffee is the ‘Best Coffee in America,’ ” trademark attorney Zick Rubin is quoted by the Globe as saying. “No one takes such a claim literally, and no one company can monopolize the phrase.”

Do you agree with Dunkin Donuts’ claim or do you think there’s better coffee to be had in New Port Richey? Tell us who has your favorite piping hot cup of Joe in the area by commenting below.

I've got to vote for Starbucks as far as iced coffee is concerned. Much more flavor! Dunkin is just terribly inconsistent visit after visit with all of their products. Starbucks is extremely consistent.

Starbucks.....and I agree with the last poster, DD is inconsistent. I get my coffee from Starbucks every morning and its always good!!

Coffee is really a matter of personal taste. I like DD over Starbucks, because it isn't as strong, but other readers think differently. For DD to make a claim like that would be impossible to prove.

How bout "the most expensive coffee on the planet" its 12.99 at walgreens and they keep raising the price, yes its good if you can afford it!

I can resist the donuts so I go directly to a Dunkin Donuts store and buy their coffee in full one pound (16 oz.) bags to prepare at home. They sell it for less than the supermarket (the supermarket sells DD in 12 oz. bags). I make it a bit stronger at home for myself and am very happy with it. Price at DD is good if you buy more than one bag at a time. I do not like Starbucks.
