The donut-shop medium roast in a big canister: smooth, mild and easy to drink, at well under 50 cents a cup.
Dunkin' Original Blend is the medium-roast, 100% Arabica blend behind Dunkin's signature coffee, made for home brewing by J.M. Smucker. The 30 oz canister is one of Amazon's top-selling ground coffees and works in any drip machine, French press or pour-over. Reviewers describe a light-bodied, gentle, nutty cup with little bitterness; coffee enthusiasts find it balanced but simple.

What we like
- Smooth, low-bitterness medium roast that most people like

FAQ
Good questions.
Is Dunkin' Original Blend 100% Arabica?
Yes. Dunkin' at Home says the Dunkin' coffee made and distributed by The J.M. Smucker Company is made with Arabica beans, sourced from suppliers in more than 20 countries and roasted, ground and packed in the US.
Is the grocery coffee the same as in Dunkin' shops?
Dunkin' says its grocery coffee is made by J.M. Smucker in close partnership with Dunkin' restaurants, and it describes Original Blend as the medium roast that made Dunkin' a household name. Brewing strength at home will change how close it tastes to the in-store cup.
How strong is it?
It is a medium roast with a mild, light-bodied profile; reviewers note little smoke or bitterness. Use a bit more coffee (around 15 g per cup) if you find it thin.
