The “Coffee Wars – The Big Three: Starbucks, McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts” article focuses on the company analysis of the Starbucks brand and how its main competitors, McDonald’s and Dunkin Donuts, has affected their brand and driven competition higher. Even though there are many companies trying to enter the specialty coffee market, these three companies own the majority of the market share.

My project will be on the differences between Peet’s Coffee and Dunkin Doughnuts. I have pondered about what makes these coffee shops different from one another. During my exploration on Wabash Avenue, I came to the conclusion that location is important regarding customer population in stores. I also realized the importance of customers, customer service, store management, and store atmosphere. Because of my project I got to understand what my topic truly was. At first, I thought that it would be based completely off of location. Throughout time though, I realized that I would discuss how the effect of a store’s environment depends more on the store’s management than the location itself.

If someone claims they are a coffee drinker and go to Starbucks every morning, chances are they do not know much about coffee and they are more likely to get an espresso drink rather than a cup of coffee. Why? Because Starbucks is not known or praised for their coffee like they use to be. Their signature trademark is their latte macchiato’s, caramel frappucino’s, and random coffee themed objects and items that have turned this once original coffee shop, more into an expensive superstore full of gifts and three month old vacuumed sealed beans. Order a medium, excuse me, I mean “grande” coffee, and the barista will look at you as if you just got out of the loony bin. Peet’s Coffee and Tea, a corporate

Both locations Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks have a variety of flavors and options to choose from. In my opinion Dunkin’ Donuts has a very smooth coffee, as Starbucks coffee tends to be more “bold and harsh.” I personally feel that in all my trips to Starbucks, the coffee tends to taste burnt. I myself just do not enjoy that type of coffee, but if you are the type to drink bold and extremely strong coffee, Starbucks is the way to

Figuring out what topic to write about for an essay can be difficult. There are a few topics one should stay away from when writing a college level essay. Opinion based topics like, which has better coffee Dunkin donuts or Starbucks, should not be used as a topic for an essay. There is no possible way to prove if either Dunkin donuts or Starbucks has the best coffee because everyone will have their own opinion, and opinions are not facts.

Two brands from the same product category that I chose to compare their social media promotional strategy are Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks. I chose the two brands because they are the two largest, most well-known, and direct competitor coffeehouse chains in America. Specifically, I chose to exam Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks’ activities on Instagram for a week.
