CANTON, Mass., Sept. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts
today unveiled an exciting expansion of its espresso beverage
lineup, announcing the addition of Macchiato to its menu with
the introduction of the new Pumpkin Macchiato. Available hot or
iced, Dunkin' Donuts' Pumpkin Macchiato is a handcrafted, layered
espresso beverage made with steamed milk and pumpkin flavored
swirl, then topped with a double shot of Dunkin' Donuts' rich,
freshly-brewed espresso. For coffee lovers seeking a new way to
enjoy a favorite flavor of fall, the Pumpkin Macchiato will be
available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide by
September 28. A permanent part of the
brand's menu, a macchiato can be customized with any of Dunkin'
Donuts sweetened coffee flavor swirls.
The Macchiato joins Dunkin' Donuts' menu of classic espresso
selections that includes cappuccino, espresso, and hot and iced
lattes, which are available in indulgent flavors such as Caramel or
Mocha. Guests can also add a Turbo Shot® of espresso to any coffee
or hot chocolate beverage. All Dunkin' Donuts espresso beverages
are made with espresso beans that are 100% Fair Trade Certified™
and selected from the finest, high-quality Arabica beans.
The introduction of the Macchiato comes approximately one year
after the launch of Dunkin' Donuts' Rainforest Alliance
Certified™ Dark Roast Coffee, one of the boldest
additions ever to the brand's coffee lineup. Made with 30%
Rainforest Alliance Certified™ beans, Dunkin' Donuts'
Dark Roast Coffee uses a unique roasting process to create a bold
flavor and smooth finish without the bitterness typically
associated with most dark roast coffees. For National Coffee Day
on Tuesday, September 29, Dunkin'
Donuts is celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Dark Roast with a
special free offer: guests can walk into any participating
Dunkin' Donuts restaurant across the country and receive a
free medium cup of Dunkin' Donuts hot or iced Dark Roast Coffee,
with a limit of one per guest.
This month, Dunkin' Donuts has another special Dark Roast offer
for members of the DD Perks® Rewards Program. Through
September 27, DD Perks®
members can purchase any size hot or iced Dark Roast for only
99 cents, when they pay using
their enrolled DD Card.
According to Chris Fuqua, Vice
President, Dunkin' Donuts Brand Marketing & Global Consumer
Insights & Product Innovation, "As we've continued our steady
and strategic growth, we've had great success expanding our coffee
platforms with innovative additions such as Dark Roast Coffee and
new flavors for guests to personalize their favorite coffee
beverage. Macchiato, our newest handcrafted espresso beverage,
provides our guests with yet another exciting coffee choice to
enjoy any time of day. We look forward to welcoming the start of
fall with the new Pumpkin Macchiato, and celebrating National
Coffee Day by inviting all of our guests to have a free medium hot
or iced Dark Roast Coffee."
