sublime food: dunkin donuts k-cups

As part of The Happygirl Experiment, one of my goals is to find the perfect things, the products that work, that make my life easier and make me happy, so I can share with you the things that will make YOU happy. I feel a little bit of a win when I try something and it does exactly what I expected it to.

I may be partial to this next perfect thing because I am from New England but Dunkin' Donuts is the perfect coffee.

If you don't live in an area with a Dunkin' Donuts (like here in Seattle) you don't know what you're missing. It's part of tradition if you live in Dunkin' Donuts land. Living in Massachusetts a right of passage is getting your driver's license and then going to the Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru to order a 'coffee regular' (cream + sugar). It's simple and it's perfect. The balance of the coffee with the cream and sugar is perfect. It's literally perfect. Dunkin' Donuts is what you drink on a Saturday morning in college when the most wonderful friend in your dorm does a DD coffee run. When you  have kids or you visit someone with kids you surprise them with Dunkin' Donuts pink frosted donuts and you're a hero.

Now you can get your happy on at home with Dunkin' Donuts K-cups because they have finally arrived in Dunkin' Donuts stores! Ever since it was announced in February that K-cups would be available this summer for Keurig coffee makers, Dunkin' Donuts fans have been waiting somewhat impatiently for them to arrive in stores. Now they're here!  They're here! If you don't have a Keurig  coffee maker yet, it will change your life. It's a single cup coffee maker that makes the perfect cup of coffee because each time you make a cup you use a pod that has a pre-measured amount of coffee. Here is the Keurig that we have that makes iced coffee in addition to the regular single hot cup (and yes, your travel mug will fit perfectly under the Keurig tap.)

Dunkin Donut K -Cups are available in select stores five flavors: Original Blend, Dunkin’ Decaf, French Vanilla, Dunkin’ Dark Roast and Hazelnut.

If you live in an area with a Dunkin' Donuts you are so lucky. If not, hopefully a friend can send them to you or you can pick them up on your travels. (Click here to find a Dunkin' Donuts location.)
