In the competitive world of the coffee industry, or any industry for that matter, it is essential for companies to have a clear understanding of what they do best, and where they can be the best. Dunkin’ Donuts is well known by generations and loved by a growing number of customers around the world. It was first established in 1950, in Quincy, Massachusetts, by William Rosenberg. Back then, William had a simple philosophy: “Make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores” (Dunkin’ Donuts, 2008). That philosophy still holds true today, and is the foundation that has enabled Dunkin’ Donuts to grow to be the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world. Dunkin’ Donuts offers more than a dozen hot and iced coffee beverages,
While iced coffee sales typically spike in summer months, Dunkin ' Donuts has seen rapid growth all year round, including during the winter months. Iced coffee is the second most frequently sold product after hot coffee at Dunkin ' Donuts. Millions of iced coffee lovers turn to Dunkin ' Donuts because they recognize the quality of its iced coffee. Dunkin ' Donuts has been at the forefront in developing an innovative process for brewing iced coffee, which has set the standard for the industry. The unique process, called double brewing, uses twice the amount of coffee when making the beverage to achieve consistent flavor and freshness that are never compromised at the expense of serving it cold. The result is a smooth, rich taste sensation (Dunkin’ Donuts, 2008). It produces iced coffee that is never bitter or watered down. Dunkin’s Donuts also offers a variety of flavors to add to your iced or hot coffee. Customers can choose from nine tempting flavors such as French Vanilla, Blueberry, Coconut, and Chocolate. They are all 100 percent sugar-free and contain no preservatives (Dunkin’ Donuts,
Every coffee addict knows, the day just does not begin until one’s mouth has had a taste of that glorious, roasted brew. Now, whether one likes a venti iced skinny hazelnut macchiato, sugar-free syrup, extra ice, no whip, the father, the son, and the holy spirit, or simply a cup of Americano, dark; the general consensus is that the combinations are virtually unlimited and the cafes are a plenty. However, coffee lovers beware of the hype; Starbucks may seem the prominent choice for a morning cup of joe but when it comes down to it, Dutch Bros. is the only way to go.
The founders of Keurig Inc. created the company to develop an innovative technique which allows customers to brew one perfect cup of gourmet coffee at a time. In this case, the CEO Nick Lazaris along with the other leaders of Keurig Inc. must determine how to successfully enter the at-home-market for use at customers’ homes, while maintaining a healthy relationship with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR) and Van Houtte. GMCR and Van Houtte are two of the company’s main roaster partners that own a 70% stake in Keurig, so they want the business to succeed but are a little apprehensive about the company’s marketing and pricing strategies.
Most likely you are aware of the original flavor, diet, cherry, and vanilla, but there are many more. In fact, there are 23 flavors of Dr Pepper!

Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are two similar companies, and have two similar products, but took two different paths to advertisement based on different company mottos and ideals. It is clear that both companies have excelled in the market and have many similarities and differences due to their marketing advertisements. In the end, neither advertisement was better than the other, because they both produced an appeal to their chosen customer base which they initially intended, thus pushing sales through the roof with both measures. Starbucks versus Dunkin Donuts does not really exist. They
Krispy Kremes's strong brand name, highly differentiated products, high-volume production capability and multi-channel market penetration strategy has worked well.

I think Professor Dunphy used coffee as the character’s beverage of choice for a number of reasons. First, coffee is easily accessible at many place and at any time of the day. Coffee is also more socially acceptable, generally speaking, rather than alcohol and there’s a bit of a stereotype that people who drink a lot of coffee are hard working and busy. Another thing is that more people can relate to coffee more than anything else. Even if someone doesn’t drink coffee, they’re well aware of the culture surrounding it and the aromas, flavors, etc. Coffee...

Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice opened its first store in April 1971 in the Pike Place Market in Seattle, by owners who had a passion for dark-roasted coffee that was popular in Europe, but hard to find in the U.S. (Harrison et al., 2005; Venkatraman & Nelson, 2008). The company’s mission was to provide Seattle with the best access to dark-roasted coffee, and sought to educated customers about the product.
