Free Dunkin’ Doughnuts Sample Has Arrived

At the beginning of November I posted about free Dunkin’ Doughnuts coffee samples. I ordered mine when I wrote that post and it came in the mail today. It took a little while to get here, but it’s free so I’m not complaining. This was an even better surprise because I had forgotten all about it. Maybe I’ll try it on Wednesday, my last day of work until after Christmas. Or, I’m sure it would be good tomorrow morning, too. When I first saw this, it appeared to be a temporary promotion, but now it looks like it’s an ongoing thing; free samples are still available.

While supplies last, get a free 1.1 oz. sample pouch of coffee my mail. They were out of Dunkin’ Dark samples when I visited the site; they only had Original Blend available, but I’m sure it’ll be good.

Coffee Cup Sizes

Nearly everyone I’ve seen uses six ounces when discussing the “normal” size of a cup of coffee. This isn’t set in stone, it just seems to be the amount used. In the Bunn drip maker I use, four cups of coffee equals almost 20 ounces, or five ounces per cup. Many coffee mugs you buy are going to be eight ounces or more, leaving you room for cream and sugar if you use it.

I called four coffee shops/stores and for the most part, sizes are pretty consistent. Below is a list of sizes used by Heine Bros., Highland Coffee, Dunkin Doughnuts, and Starbucks; Starbucks of course, uses fancy names for their sizes.

Heine Bros. Coffee
Small: 10 oz.
Medium: 16 oz.
Large: 20 oz.

Highland Coffee
Small: 12 oz.
Medium: 16 oz.
Large: 20 oz.

Dunkin’ Doughnuts
Small: 10 oz.
Medium: 14 oz.
Large: 20 oz.
X-Large: 24 oz.

Starbucks:
Short (X-Small): 8 oz. Note: Unadvertised and only available for hot coffee drinks.
Tall (Small): 12 oz.
Grande (Medium): 16 oz.
Venti (Large): 20 oz.

I was going to check with Seattle’s Best, but the cafe locator on their site kept resetting and not letting me zoom in/out on the map. I don’t like pages that don’t work correctly for an important function like that, so I didn’t waste much time.
