Has anyone bought a Box O'Joe® from Dunkin Donuts?

Asked by jrpowell (40562points) September 18th, 2011

Link is here.

1. Is it hot or do they expect you to warm it?
2. Is it as hot as coffee should be if it is hot?
3. Have you dissected the box to see what the bag inside the box is made of?

Well we don’t even have dunkin donut here, but I suspect its made out of a carboard that is lined with aluminum coated plastic, and an internal bag, like a wine box, that has the coffe in it.

I’m guessing they have it hot since it’s advertised as something to go.

Is coffe nrmally hot? They probably pour it in at the store.

Obama did. There’s a picture of him carrying it that was turned into a meme-thing.

I haven’t gotten the DD version, but I got the Starbucks version a few times for meetings at school and they appear to use the same box-style. They poured freshly made coffee into it at the Starbucks store, then I took it to school. It was exactly like a wine box, but with coffee. And by the time you get where you were going and the meeting starts no, it’s not as hot as you’d really like anymore.

Well if it’s good enough for Obama, it’s more than good enough for you.

@EP :: That is what prompted the question. I saw one of the images and wondered “WTF is that box?”

I’m still wondering what lines the box.

Yes its fairly hot, I have not dissected the box.

Yes, it is hot coffee. I’ve bought them for meetings to serve coffee to groups of people. I have no idea what the bag inside the box is made from. Plastic would be my guess.

DD, is one of my jobs, the coffe is first brewed in the regular pots, then transferred to the box. It stays hot for a while and inside is just a silver bag where the coffee ends up.
The Box O’ Joe comes with 10 small cps /lids. 20 sugars, 5 equal/splenda/sweet and low, and individual creamers.

Einstein Bagels has the same thing…it’s good for an AM meeting. I don’t have a clue how long the coffee is supposed to be hot for.

Everytime I got a Box O Joe it was hot and it stayed hot for a pretty long time. I never pulled the thing apart but I believe its some sort of coffee that is able to withstand the heat and can hold in heat as well.

There aren’t any Dunkin Donuts in southern California, it’s really fucked up because they play the commercials all the damn time! Stupid taunting donuts!.....

Not to derail, but I think you may have a typo. @johnpowell, you use the word coffee, but I think you forgot the quotes. Dunkin’ Donuts sells “coffee” – I don’t think it can technically be called coffee.
