Can anybody tell me,why coffee taste better, if I buy it from a coffee shop?
For example: if I make myself coffee with exactly the Dunkin's Donuts coffee ground, they use to make their coffee it doesn't taste as good as the coffee they sell. that i use the same one. What do they make different? i have tried out making the coffee with about every ratio of coffee and water, but I really never got the taste.

everything seems to taste better when you go to the coffeshop/restaurant, etc to get it! lol i love dunkin donuts coffee, but i don't buy it and make it at home. i usually drink instant at home since it is easier for me to make myself just one cup at a time. but i know what you mean. if i tell my hubby that i really want an omelet from the diner up the street, or a steak from our favorite italian restaurant, or whatever it may be, he will offer to make me one. i will tell him that it's not the same. :) he cooks great, but it just doesn't taste the same as when you go out and have it at a restaurant. i really don't know why that is. :)

Not necissarily.
You can always bring the resstaurant home, my grandmother worked in restaurants all her life, since she was thirteen, and nothing at restaurants taste better than her foods.

i agree with you there- there are definitely some things that are just better homemade. but i guess for me there are certain things that taste better out- maybe because i love the way that certain place makes it or whatever. now nothing beats my grandparent's homemade sauce, or my grandma's homemade chicken soup- nothing i could get made by even the greatest chef could come close to tasting as good!

Maybe you should just keep on trying until you get it right. There is no harm in experimenting. Cheers!!

A long time ago, I had the same question, and I decided to research it. (Was there really a time when I had time for such a thing?) It turns out that commercial coffee makers are simply a lot hotter than anything we can buy for the home. Temperature makes huge differences in coffee. It's almost 7:00 am. I think I'll go make some coffee!

I love dunkin donuts coffee! I usually buy the beans and grind at home. I find one of the biggest taste problems is with the coffee pot. I have a regular drip pot, and the coffee's not bad (sometimes a real good cleaning can improve the taste as well). My dad has a nice coffee pot like they have in 7-11, and when I have a cup from him, it tastes so much better. I only get coffee from 7-11, or the dunkin donuts at home.

I prefer having homemade coffee.
Probably its because in a coffee shop,they use certain other ingredients other than coffee and water,thats why it tastes better.
